running this light in a 32" x 32" x 63" and getting good results...using the parameters you recommend....23 to 24 on veg....16 to 18 on bloom...adjusted as grow continues...had to shorten the cable hangers as required...great review...thanks
Hi! Could you tell me please the dimming level you use per stage please? I mean the 25% 50% 75% at the top of the light where you regulate the intensity
I have been doing mine for about 2 months and love it. The plants that I am using this on are smoking my outdoor plants to get at least 10 hours of direct sunlight a day

I just bought a used one with a 4 by 4 tent and 4 inch ac infinity fan and charcoal filter for 100 bucks im stoked because I've been using a bunch of crap lights canr wait to see the difference
People keep asking and I'd like to know too. Is the light at 100% brightness? I'm thinking "yes" because the mars chart matches your findings. My tsw2000 fries my tops at 18" 100% tho. THANKS!
I bought one of these and I'm well pleased with it - the only problem i do have is trying to turn down the output - can't see down into the bottom of the hole to see what type of screwdriver to use - I tried flat blade and philips no1 but it's very hit and miss trying to get a screwdriver to set properly to make an adjustment - any tips on this would be most appreciated. Thanks....!
How does dimming the light affect its spectrum and par output? In other words: is it better to hang the light 24 inch full power above a seedling or is it possible to save electricity by dimming the light and hang it f.e. 16 inch above a seedling?
There's actually was a study basically as long as there's no UV or at least any significant amount of UV light colder blue temperatures run just as effective as red or warmer color temperatures. And by adding UV at the end of the life cycle of the plant with colder blue temperatures help also increase the coloring of the plant.

hello how high should I hang my mars hydro tsw 2000 when I am not using the dimming function? In the manual is written germination 24-30 inch, seedling 24 inch, veg 18-24 and flower 12-18 inch...are these specifications for those who are not using the dimming button? And how high I should hang the light when Im using the dimming button and how much light for each stage? Thank you.
Recieved my light today, Once I set it up, plugged it in, I removed the plugs to adjust the brightness... but there isn't anything inside for the screw driver to adjust?? There isnt a slot or anything...am I missing something?
Hi! Are you using any filter for the camera or does the light look this pleasent to your eyes IRL? In your oppinion could it be used in a living room to give life to houseplants during winter months?
They all have an almost natural daylight spectrum, but for supplemental lighting of house plants, the smaller TS1000 is a better fit. The longer TSL2000 would be a better option if you need more spread of the light.
Exactly what we use this light for! Have done for the second year running, we’ve got ours dimmed down but it helps the plants loads and provides us with a SAD break so it’s not just the plants that are happy!
Seems like 12" is too close for flower, and 18" is okay in the middle, but not so much outward from the center. Maybe somewhere between the two? I'd love to always see what's between the two heights. At 14", 16", as most test 12", then 18". I'd think at 14"-15", it may give you 1000-umols plus, in the center, with maybe 700-umols near the edges.. Just something that pops up in many reviews. Too bright in the center, not enough outwards, or not bright enough in the center, but a more even light footprint outwards. Yeah, more work, lol, but more info as well! Thanks for your great review. You know what's important info, and always let us know!
The blue prevents excessive stretch in canna, would not have bought without it 24 inches is too low for many strains in seedling and early veg, better to place them at 30" - light stress kills
Can you please tell me something, i'm confused. Does TSL2000 have blue light? They only mention white, warm white, red, IR... But not sure about blue, is it in the cool white spectrum?
I would also say that removing the drivers out of the tent would probably prolong the life of the light because they won't be subjected to the heat coming off of the board. Just got mine today 😁
Did ya try it?.....How'd it go?....I imagine it might void the warranty even though it sounds like an improvement and would extend the life of the product.....That's prob why they don't want ya to do it......Can't sell more if they don't break lol :-)
@@28russ hi. Removing the drivers wouldn't void the warranty. When it arrives the drivers are separate and you have to physically attach them. Also the cables to connect from the diver to the board are really long to give you the customer the option. Which imo is good thinking on the manufacturers part. Ps I've had mine a few weeks and so far really impressed. But I'm in the veg stage, switching over this week so I'll have to see how they perform for flower.
That’s actually not a bad price. No need for two drivers though, that’s just adding more heat. And they need to ditch the outdated epistar diodes that burn out to 50% in a year.
They're updated SMD gen1 flat diodes that have are powered at around .30 . They're nearly as good as the Samsung 301lmb diodes. Just as efficient and powered at the exact efficacy. Only a better spectrum. I've got a couple sp150s and the ts1000 and a HLG 550 v2 480watt that's all 4000k. The Marshydro ts1000 spectrum is closer to natural sunlight with the variance in spectrum. The sun isn't 1 spectrum all the time so why have a grow light with just 1 band of wavelength? Additionally I hacked my 550 and replaced about 30 % of the 4000k diodes with Osram and Epistar 440 and 660s along with some Cirrus UV- B diodes in the 280 nanometer wavelength. Voided the shit outta my warranty but I built a much better light and now know how much better it is I'm in the process of a new build from jump but avoiding HLG and going straight to the Manufacturers of parts. Saving me at a minimum of 300 dollars compared to 800 I spent for a sub-par light and building a far superior grow light. That's what's great about LEDs. Just a lil bit of knowledge of circuitry and soldering anyone can build far superior light themselves and save hundreds if not thousands of dollars. I highly recommend everyone who wants to learn to build a light themselves Is buy the HLG 65 or 100 as a base and then improve upon it. Once you get your feet wet with the 1st successful improved build then your off to the races and will prolly feel as foolish I as I 1st did. Like why didn't start building the lights myself sooner.
wassup bro, really liking ur vids here ! if i may ask, if today you had to buy a new LED or QB for a 3x3 tent , which one would you pick? i kinda got lost in the LED maze while searching and i can't find my way out :( thx dude !
I like it, for the price. Don’t know if it could really the job in flower. Ut I would definitely get one, veg with it, try flowering. I bet it does a good job! Keep putting them out Mars!! I think u guys and gals are doing great! Eric’s always doing a great job! Appreciate it !!
Did you even watch the video. You only need between 550 PAR to 850 PAR for dense flower. Anymore than 900 PAR co2 should be used or risk frying your plants. The light hits over 1500 PAR directly under it at 15 inches.
That's what I'm wondering! The 3000 is only an extra £27. Same watts though. Just wider coverage probably. I have a ts600 at the minute and to be fair in a 2x4 tent it did alright. I've got it in a 1.2x1.2m now and feel like I need to upgrade
can you please clarify one thing, when you say 16 inch for flowering, does that mean 16 inches from the top of the plant or 16 inches from the floor of the tent?? thanks
Lol i hope you're joking.. What if your plants are 20 inches tall, would you place your light 16 inches from the floor of the tent? Would you cut your plants? Or would you just stick your light in the middle of the bushy canopy?
Well hello! Love your vids and just bought two DIY HLG Saber 100's from your store. Could you please please please do a review vid on them, with special attention paid to some possible driver setups. The info from HLG and the driver database is very incomplete. Before I can order drivers from you guys, I am going to have to call HLG tech dept and question them in depth. For example, I was going to buy two drivers, each capable of running 2-3 Sabers for future expansion, but I am not sure that I can dim 3 lights from one larger driver. Also it turns out its a little cheaper to buy smaller drivers, which also state they are dimmable, and I can adjust each light level as needed. I am not sure the pros or cons of each setup, or how running under/over powered balasts with dimming affects the efficiency and longetivity of leds. After writing all this, I think I need a HLG Saber 100 review and a led ballast how-to guide lol. Thanks!
Hanging this light at recommended distances at 100 % power will definitely fry your plants. In the future I will still use hanging distance recommended, but starting at 25% power and slowly increasing percentage as stages progress.
@@ArteUltra1195 Thank you!:) , at the end I was able to get the FC 8000 (because I already had the 150x150x200 tent). It took some time to get the money but it totally worth it😭🤙🏾
Yes, i would say the it's perfectly suited for that number of plants in a 3x3 feet or 90x90 centimeters grow tent. I think you could even grow 4 smaller plants, but the grow tent could be too small depending on the strain. I got the TSL-2000 which has similar specs to TSW-2000 but it's shaped longer for a 2x4 tent. I'm planning to grow 4 plants, some people even suggested me 5-6 smaller plants but i will keep it at 4 maximum.
Company sold me used products and attempted to not take back. Covered in dirt, overspray from previous grow, and poles had chips. In general product looked 10 years old. If you buy from them purchase off amazon or avoid them all together.
Did you buy from them directly or a reseller? This is the first time i heard anyone getting such a light. I just got my TSL2000 from their official store on Aliexpress. Definitely looks brand new, except for a slight dent on the reflector which probably happened during shipment. Doesn't affect the light at all, and i could shape it back. P.S - The reflector is not fragile or flimsy, it's pretty firm. The packaging is not too bad either although it could be better. It's just that the package was over 25kg heavy because i ordered a full growkit. The courier was a bit skinny so he might have dropped it.
Been growing for 35 years this led is the best if you add a couple heatsinks on top they will preform like any other High price led maybe better because of the balance of blue and added red diode's but actually when you use a 3000-4000k diode's there is no need to add more red or blue if you want less blue in your White just use 3000k diode's if you want more blue use 3500-4000k diode's but a complete board with Only 3000-4000k will grow perfect balance spectrum for any plants with quality and yield so these manufacturers just dumping extra color chips in board's when all that's required for totally full spectrum is a 3500k white from seed to FLOWER 🤓
You are trippin. You want 660-750 nm far red in flower. Your buds will grow bigger, and have way better characteristics. Too much blue like the ts series lights have and you’ll end up with shrunk buds and the smell and look won’t be there.
@Dankenstein Corsentino Sweet.....So you haven't had any issues with them? I'm thinking of buying the 600 but I've seen a comment or 2 saying they're a bit cheap and nasty with LED's not working when the arrive or dying not long after they got them......But I've also seen a lot of comments and vids saying they're great.....So not sure about em :-)
@Dankenstein Corsentino That's awesome...Thanks for the reply dude, I appreciate it!!... And good point about the dimmer switch...I should have thought of that lol...I've been using a dimable 600 watt hps at 300 watt. It wasn't exactly ideal but I had a bigger setup but had to down size so was just using what I already had but it's a was a cheap piece of shit and burnt out on a hot day....Lucky I was home and saw it happen or it might of burnt the fuckin house and worst of all ...my plants down lol...I'm in Aus and it's been stinkin bloody hot so LED's would ideal for my setup....Been wanting to try them for ages but the good ones were too fuckin expensive and the cheap ones all crap and until now...I'll check out the 1000W but not sure it will actually fit in my little cupboard grow. Kinda why I was looking at the 600....Thanks again for the reply....Shit like this really helps when I'm trying to make, what for me, is like a major expensive purchase because I'm a broke arse motherfucker on a pension and shit hahaha :-)
How'd ya go with em mate?......As far as I know ya can use them for flower and veg. I've used HPS lights in the past but never used LED's so curious how you went and if you've had any issues with the lights as I'm thinking of buying the 600W ? :-)

@@casterakabadman805The 1000 works very well in a 3x3 grow tent. You are definitely going to need a inline fan to help during bloom. Mold will likely set in if you don't install one in your grow text. During late bloom keep light 12 - 18 inches above plants!
@@joshhayne the ts3000 has even been used in a 2x2 by grass inclass, he pulled 13 oz from memory. The smaller lights do work but 400 or 500 par is about half of what is ideal.

The recommended hanging height of TSW-2000 ：12" (30cm),
you can adjust the light intensity according to the different growth stages of plants
So will you chose black dog Led max2~1000 or this one?
Does removing the drivers from the fixture void warranty? I would want to mount them to the side to reduce the heat on the light
You can add extension cord to revove driver out of tent to lower the temperature in the tent

Did ya try it?.....How'd it go?....I imagine it might void the warranty even though it sounds like an improvement and would extend the life of the product.....That's prob why they don't want ya to do it......Can't sell more if they don't break lol :-)
@@28russ hi. Removing the drivers wouldn't void the warranty. When it arrives the drivers are separate and you have to physically attach them. Also the cables to connect from the diver to the board are really long to give you the customer the option. Which imo is good thinking on the manufacturers part.
Ps I've had mine a few weeks and so far really impressed. But I'm in the veg stage, switching over this week so I'll have to see how they perform for flower.
That’s actually not a bad price. No need for two drivers though, that’s just adding more heat.
And they need to ditch the outdated epistar diodes that burn out to 50% in a year.
They're updated SMD gen1 flat diodes that have are powered at around .30 . They're nearly as good as the Samsung 301lmb diodes. Just as efficient and powered at the exact efficacy. Only a better spectrum. I've got a couple sp150s and the ts1000 and a HLG 550 v2 480watt that's all 4000k. The Marshydro ts1000 spectrum is closer to natural sunlight with the variance in spectrum. The sun isn't 1 spectrum all the time so why have a grow light with just 1 band of wavelength? Additionally I hacked my 550 and replaced about 30 % of the 4000k diodes with Osram and Epistar 440 and 660s along with some Cirrus UV- B diodes in the 280 nanometer wavelength. Voided the shit outta my warranty but I built a much better light and now know how much better it is I'm in the process of a new build from jump but avoiding HLG and going straight to the Manufacturers of parts. Saving me at a minimum of 300 dollars compared to 800 I spent for a sub-par light and building a far superior grow light. That's what's great about LEDs. Just a lil bit of knowledge of circuitry and soldering anyone can build far superior light themselves and save hundreds if not thousands of dollars. I highly recommend everyone who wants to learn to build a light themselves Is buy the HLG 65 or 100 as a base and then improve upon it. Once you get your feet wet with the 1st successful improved build then your off to the races and will prolly feel as foolish I as I 1st did. Like why didn't start building the lights myself sooner.
is this lamp very loud ?
wassup bro, really liking ur vids here ! if i may ask, if today you had to buy a new LED or QB for a 3x3 tent , which one would you pick? i kinda got lost in the LED maze while searching and i can't find my way out :( thx dude !
Shit content creators dont reply
I like it, for the price. Don’t know if it could really the job in flower. Ut I would definitely get one, veg with it, try flowering. I bet it does a good job! Keep putting them out Mars!! I think u guys and gals are doing great! Eric’s always doing a great job! Appreciate it !!
Check t1000 on one poant bro itn
makes at least a half pound per plant
In a 2x2
Did you even watch the video. You only need between 550 PAR to 850 PAR for dense flower. Anymore than 900 PAR co2 should be used or risk frying your plants. The light hits over 1500 PAR directly under it at 15 inches.
@@timpage5021 in the right environment you could run 2000 but 1500 is the aim for commercial grows. It's pretty easy to enrich co2.
Can I pls ask for your opinion compared to Viparspectra V300? They are same price range.
How you get the plants to veg with that light
I need help ! What’s the best light? I got a tent 120cm by 240cm I would like 2 led lights to cover all the space (thanks)
what are the distances and what percent dimming in seedling / first 15 cm of plant ? if want using dimming on start ?
17 inch for flowering sounds perfect then.
At 100%?
@@mcrage91 Same question 🤔
@@techwithnoel1475 what I've learned is you want to gradually work to 100% by week 4 of flower. 18 inches at 75% wk 1 then by wk 4 %100
@@mcrage91 ive been SCOURING the web for this suggestion thank you! 🙏🏽
Wow I am super impressed#Marshydro
How can I get the Buzzard I live in Williamston Michigan 715 East Grand River Williamston Michigan 48895 Apartment B
did you dent that? or did it come to you with shipping damaged?
Have you heard of the gk2000? Do you know what the difference is by chance?
i'm thinking on buying this for a 32x32x63 tent. think it will be good for that tent size?
It has a coverage of 3ft by 3ft so you'll be fine
Great video,how high u keep your lights from the plants?
So in addition to my 2 ts1000s in a 2.5x5 should I add the fc3000 or the ts2000?
That's what I'm wondering! The 3000 is only an extra £27. Same watts though. Just wider coverage probably. I have a ts600 at the minute and to be fair in a 2x4 tent it did alright. I've got it in a 1.2x1.2m now and feel like I need to upgrade
For how many plants is this led lamp? I have 9 plants. It is okay for that or need i a bigger lamp?
@Dog Bone thank you
Pls test tsl 2000 and electric sky 300 v2 !!!! The battle for 2x4 contest !!!
Which oone?
You're going to probably want the Mars Hydro SP3000. Check it out, it has samsung and osram chips.
Quick question, I have the 3000 Series which has two screw adjustments vo and io. Vo is for watt adjustment, what is io for? Intensity or Spectrum?
Love the review Thank you LED GROW LIGHTS DEPOT
th-cam.com/video/sHV243FLmS4/w-d-xo.html
Good review 👍thnx
can you please clarify one thing, when you say 16 inch for flowering, does that mean 16 inches from the top of the plant or 16 inches from the floor of the tent?? thanks
That should be common sense. 16" from plant canopy
Lol i hope you're joking..
What if your plants are 20 inches tall, would you place your light 16 inches from the floor of the tent? Would you cut your plants? Or would you just stick your light in the middle of the bushy canopy?
@@twentytwo138 figured out, thanks
How would this compare to say the hlg 550 v2?
Inverse square law applies to lighting. Twice as far away is one fourth the light intensity.
@LED grow lights depot. Any estimate for the monthly cost of running one tsw2000 light?
My pals worked out less than £1 sterling per day on a pre pay meter on 18/6 and dimmer around 90
You are exactly right about the blue spectrum to get high numbers and I personally hate that.
Its a great light ive got one am very happy may even get another.
th-cam.com/video/sHV243FLmS4/w-d-xo.html
Are the ppfs readings with the light set to 100 percent?
How will I extend the cable so I can put the drivers out of my tent? Will a simple DC extension cable run them? Thanks
That's a dumb question but it comes with extra cable.
Justin B - how’s it a dumb question? They supply a 2m extension but my tent is 3.6m so I need to extend it further
@@SlapRoundTheChops good question.
Is this at 100% intensity??
Well hello! Love your vids and just bought two DIY HLG Saber 100's from your store. Could you please please please do a review vid on them, with special attention paid to some possible driver setups. The info from HLG and the driver database is very incomplete. Before I can order drivers from you guys, I am going to have to call HLG tech dept and question them in depth. For example, I was going to buy two drivers, each capable of running 2-3 Sabers for future expansion, but I am not sure that I can dim 3 lights from one larger driver. Also it turns out its a little cheaper to buy smaller drivers, which also state they are dimmable, and I can adjust each light level as needed. I am not sure the pros or cons of each setup, or how running under/over powered balasts with dimming affects the efficiency and longetivity of leds. After writing all this, I think I need a HLG Saber 100 review and a led ballast how-to guide lol.
Thanks!
@ledgardener?
What do you mean it is not meant to flower a 4x4 area?>(4:50) Could you grow 3 plants from seed to final harvest only on this single light?
I grow 8 plants in nft under one of these no probs seed to chop
Hanging this light at recommended distances at 100 % power will definitely fry your plants. In the future I will still use hanging distance recommended, but starting at 25% power and slowly increasing percentage as stages progress.
Love the video..im also one of your customers
This doesn't look like my light! Mine has one driver and the dimmer isn't working correctly!!
Would it be enough for a 150x150x200 tent?🤔
No, not really enough for veg and not even close for flower.
Try 100x100 for veg and 70x70 for flower
@@ArteUltra1195 Thank you!:) , at the end I was able to get the FC 8000 (because I already had the 150x150x200 tent). It took some time to get the money but it totally worth it😭🤙🏾
So does this light work for growing 1 to 3 plants
Yes, i would say the it's perfectly suited for that number of plants in a 3x3 feet or 90x90 centimeters grow tent. I think you could even grow 4 smaller plants, but the grow tent could be too small depending on the strain. I got the TSL-2000 which has similar specs to TSW-2000 but it's shaped longer for a 2x4 tent. I'm planning to grow 4 plants, some people even suggested me 5-6 smaller plants but i will keep it at 4 maximum.
Company sold me used products and attempted to not take back. Covered in dirt, overspray from previous grow, and poles had chips. In general product looked 10 years old. If you buy from them purchase off amazon or avoid them all together.
Did you buy from them directly or a reseller? This is the first time i heard anyone getting such a light.
I just got my TSL2000 from their official store on Aliexpress. Definitely looks brand new, except for a slight dent on the reflector which probably happened during shipment. Doesn't affect the light at all, and i could shape it back.
P.S - The reflector is not fragile or flimsy, it's pretty firm. The packaging is not too bad either although it could be better. It's just that the package was over 25kg heavy because i ordered a full growkit. The courier was a bit skinny so he might have dropped it.
Been growing for 35 years this led is the best if you add a couple heatsinks on top they will preform like any other High price led maybe better because of the balance of blue and added red diode's but actually when you use a 3000-4000k diode's there is no need to add more red or blue if you want less blue in your White just use 3000k diode's if you want more blue use 3500-4000k diode's but a complete board with Only 3000-4000k will grow perfect balance spectrum for any plants with quality and yield so these manufacturers just dumping extra color chips in board's when all that's required for totally full spectrum is a 3500k white from seed to FLOWER 🤓
How well does this light flower? I’ve got a 3.3x3.3
Good idea
You are trippin. You want 660-750 nm far red in flower. Your buds will grow bigger, and have way better characteristics. Too much blue like the ts series lights have and you’ll end up with shrunk buds and the smell and look won’t be there.
I just ordered a mars TSW2000 Looking forward :)
Dankenstein Corsentino Good on you my man, My girls r growing great 👍 under my tsw2000 , Happy Growing 😊
@Dankenstein Corsentino Sweet.....So you haven't had any issues with them? I'm thinking of buying the 600 but I've seen a comment or 2 saying they're a bit cheap and nasty with LED's not working when the arrive or dying not long after they got them......But I've also seen a lot of comments and vids saying they're great.....So not sure about em :-)
@Dankenstein Corsentino That's awesome...Thanks for the reply dude, I appreciate it!!... And good point about the dimmer switch...I should have thought of that lol...I've been using a dimable 600 watt hps at 300 watt. It wasn't exactly ideal but I had a bigger setup but had to down size so was just using what I already had but it's a was a cheap piece of shit and burnt out on a hot day....Lucky I was home and saw it happen or it might of burnt the fuckin house and worst of all ...my plants down lol...I'm in Aus and it's been stinkin bloody hot so LED's would ideal for my setup....Been wanting to try them for ages but the good ones were too fuckin expensive and the cheap ones all crap and until now...I'll check out the 1000W but not sure it will actually fit in my little cupboard grow. Kinda why I was looking at the 600....Thanks again for the reply....Shit like this really helps when I'm trying to make, what for me, is like a major expensive purchase because I'm a broke arse motherfucker on a pension and shit hahaha :-)

Dimmers set at 100% you best have a 4" inline fan running at full speed with outside room temperature at 65° F if not the 3x3 will be too hot

@@casterakabadman805The 1000 works very well in a 3x3 grow tent. You are definitely going to need a inline fan to help during bloom. Mold will likely set in if you don't install one in your grow text. During late bloom keep light 12 - 18 inches above plants!
Nope. The TS 3000 works fine in 3x3. Also it has a dimmer.
@@joshhayne the ts3000 has even been used in a 2x2 by grass inclass, he pulled 13 oz from memory. The smaller lights do work but 400 or 500 par is about half of what is ideal.

Viparspectra xs 2000 or mars hydro tsl 2000 for a 2x4?
Spider Farmer SF-2000
can someone tell me if the drivers can be relocated off the light to reduce heat? Mine came with some longer cords than the ones in this video and I want to know if moving them would mean, that I should ground the drivers back to the light base ??
Yes, just plug them in like you normally would, I did this because the drivers were causing too much heat in my tent.
so a 3*3 tent or 4*4 ten
3x3 tent would be the best for this light.
how much is yr grow tent????
Does the light run very hot ?
No
No
What's the hps equivalent?
600W or so
