Ah. Ok. Just on your pic the metal frames are white (mine are green). Hadn't seen white ones is all. Yeah all looks nice
I'll upload pics Tomoz as I don't need to water them yet.

Hey, mine is a 600w unit. Might just be coz I've had mine a while now. Ye I grew for a cancer patient who passed recently. So I'm kinda just growing now for a hobby. I don't smoke it or sell it I just do it coz I love it.

As for the colour hoping mine are not fakes!! Don't think so as build quality is soo good and they do sell green ones on the same sight . I think they are a new model as they have a full spectrum plus white light so no need for switches for veg and bloom , hope I'm right

They must be new models. Mine have the veg and bloom switches. I wouldn't worry I'm sure they're legit. Get some good pics. Looking forward to themAs for the colour hoping mine are not fakes!!

Hey, just thought I'd chime in.
I noticed when looking at the Marshydro LEDs that they have a couple versions. The white ones, like you have Sioux, that do not have the veg and bloom switches. I don't think it is a huge deal because I have grown with both switches on and it was fine, I just like the variability of switches to cut my wattage when they are babies. And the green ones, like you have Oil, that have the veg and bloom switches. The wavelengths are the same except that the green ones also claim to have infrared spectrum (730nm). So really, Sioux, you have nothing to worry about. Infrared is a fairly new discovery to put onto grow LEDs and is probably still in trial stages, but supposedly it is supposed to help, however I have never used infrared and had great looking plants and good smoke.
Also, it says the Marshydro sells the MarsII but it may be a gimmick, I don't rightfully know, but yes they have 5w LEDs and I think 3w diodes are perfect for growing these plants indoors.

Thanks for the input MJA. Yep infrared red is a "new thing" I believe. I gotta say though that this "marshydro green thing" as it's now known (ha ha) has done an excellent job so far. I hope that by the end of this grow we will have managed to disspel some of the negativity that surrounds these MHGL (marshydro grow lights).

Thanks for the reply yes tonight I will get some good Pics and upload so you can see the ladies betterThey must be new models. Mine have the veg and bloom switches. I wouldn't worry I'm sure they're legit. Get some good pics. Looking forward to them

Thanks mja for all that excellent info I'm so new to the led i was a bit worried but now I feel sure these are going to be great! ! I am still a little confused about the distance from plants . I read somewhere on this site that a piece of white paper should be held under the light and where it was showing red not blue The lights should be there for flowering mine are 24 in away at mo . Any thoughts ? Oil says manufacturers say 24 in which looks right so what about this red thing that only seems to happen at about 16 in away sorry for my lack of technical knowledge thanks

The most important thing is internode spacing. I had nice one inch spaces until I got a stretch on 3/7 plants for no apparent reason. It says keep it 24" away all the way through. I did that height as a test but so far all has gone well.
This is the reason I started this thread. There is so much conflicting info that I thought it would be a good idea to trial and error some things and try and get a definitive guide to MHGL.
Nice thread, I too pulled the trigger on the Mars reflector. I found the topled customer service to be top notch.
Gotta a 3x3 w a cpl autos In it right now. Was planning on using em as supplemental lighting w my 600 hps but decided to give em a shot on there own.
I beat these ladies up pretty good lol lotsa ph issues In the beginning and now I've burnt em pretty good as well.
All in all seems to be ok for the price. If I knew what I was doing id prob have much better results.

Great pics loving the close ups of the girls!! They look very good to me. As you say this is all trial and error at the moment lets hope with a few of us using the marshydro we can sort out some of the issues and stop all this conflicting stuff ! pics later when lights on .

I meant to say heats better than I expected ran all four 600w in 2x2x2 tent last night with 2 outtake fans and 2 intake fans temp steady at 28 degrees not ideal I know 25 would be better but hey when I ran the 2 600w hps in same set up temps reached 42 aarrgghh then I had to give in and open the tent ! Which is obviously not as I intended . For this reason alone I'm loving my new LEDs . As for the nute burn issue I also read on here 4sku2nkdo that using 30% less nutes than with hps solves it . Don't know yet but will test this !
Thanks your too kindGreat pics loving the close ups of the girls!! They look very good to me. As you say this is all trial and error at the moment lets hope with a few of us using the marshydro we can sort out some of the issues and stop all this conflicting stuff !
Yea tbh I've done everything wrong with these leds I had it about 6 inches from the canopy till about 30 min ago (after reading this thread lol) gonna use this tent as a veg tent and just throw in a auto here in there for fun.
I'm on week 2 12 12 w my photos so curious to see the difference in quality hps vs led. I'll take quality over quantity any day!
Though the comparison will be kinda unfair since I've been putting all my energy into the other room.
ago.
Also I didn't realise plants used more calmag w leds, def good to know cuz I'm in coco which tends to hang on tho that as well.

Great pics.... Yeah you do have to start slower with the nutes. I start at 1/8 recommended dosage and build up slowly. I too had a bit of NB but yours look like they will be fine. Nute burn and pot def look similar IMO. Pot def doesn't start at the tip but at the fringes and works it's way in. Welcome to the thread by the way lol. Thanks for posting
