HLG all the way, Previously i have spent thousands of dollars on name brands like KIND and Advanced Platinum, all of which i have replaced with HLG due to the superior results. In my current 2x2 perpetual 4 plant setup i replaced 600W of advanced platinum lights with a single HLG 225 and im pulling the same weight if not more, the buds are tighter/more dense, and its running less than half the wattage the old lights were.. moral of the story.. dont order anything except HLG when it comes to lights. you wont regret it.

can you prove that? I asked because someone got a SF light and his receipt said Mars. (see poster @ #18) I I asked that person: the answer I got was I don't know anything about that. I replied if you don't know who would? Never got an answer
I've never heard that. I looked all over and couldnt find any indication that this is true, other than having warehouses in the same cities but that doesnt really surprise me considering they are in the same business and shipping out of china. Probably thousands of chinese companies have warehouses in those same places.

THIS - Exactly. I've bought (2) of the HLG 100's and someday when I fall into a money pit, going to upgrade my flower tent.

Best lights ever, you will not regret the purchase of ANY of their products.

Hey guys!

I am looking to get another light. What's out there comprable to Mars hydro? I have enough crap going on in my life.. I don't need to spend my time or money on a shity company.

I might be able to swing some HIDs but I don't really know too much about them and costs. I plan on using them to flower 4-6 sativa ladies. How hot do they get? I ask because I'm actually running a heater in my grow room constantly. 17'*10'*7'


What I like about the Mars hydro 600w
-LED full spectrum
I like the reflectors and the spread of the light
Price point.

Why no Mars hydro you ask..
They have known the USA factory was having a lack of inventory problem.. they can't seem to get their shit together.

Shitty ways to upsell- saying you don't have product. But then on your website you don't say out of stock. in fact in green letters it clearly states in stock

They also have been false advertising for free lights.

Additionally, they do have 600w LEDs. They have been selling them on Amazon. Just this week I had to get a replacement. Clearly they have stock. Or is it my fault that I needed a replacement that now they are out.

I'm just trying to understand what the fuck is going on and why people are letting them be able to do this.

Thank you so very much. Your post genuinely makes me want to go look into them as a high contender.

All this effort to cry about a niche company struggling during a pandemic and national crisis....

I think this is the white privileged mentality I keep seeing on the news.... jesus...
Sorry, I don't have invisible friends.

Thank you for taking the time to read the whole post. Any jerk can skim through an article. Rarely do people actually take the time to understand what the complaint is about.

By the way I think you're cross-referencing. Pandemic doesn't so much have to do with the black lives matter movement and white privilege. And I also don't appreciate you bringing race as an argument to belittle my feelings.

Bless your heart darling though for stopping by.

I'm getting so tired of hearing the same people who say we need to fix racism bring up white privilege to every white person who complains about something. Belittling white people, who more than likely are not racist in the slightest, is not how you fix racism. You are just creating more racism and you're giving white people a reason to be racist and to hate those who blame them for being born white. In case you missed it, even white people don't ask to be born white.

I have over a 1000 true watts of power all led. My plants super healthy I'd like to give them 1000 more.
That looks like an awfully small growing space for that much LED wattage. Why would you go with that much COB wattage when you could run half that with F-Strips or QBs?
