I think the person speaks a different language, but it's no reason to assume that they are not here to converse and share/ trade information, correct?

Looks like a good option, I have a split closet though it's about 4x2x5.5 on one side. It's 40"x20"x62" to be exact. Picture below to show, I turned it into a little veg station for now, as we just moved in a couple weeks ago. Still a lot of setting up to do, what do y'all think? The sliding doors on the closet have air vent slots for circulation but I'm not sure how I'd run duct in my closet... I also have my 2x2x4 grow tent I'm using as my flower tent with my 300w viparspectra. May just have to buy a 4x2x6 tent.

Now thinking about it I have a A/C window unit I can install to keep the room at a steady 75-80 if the regular a/c doesn't handle the job. It's a back corner room and right now the temp stays high in there compared to the rest of the house.

Also that reflector on that hps looks sooooo small lol.

Correct me if if wrong, but isnt the person recommending a burple?
That old saying of walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, may be a duck didn't form for no reason ;)

As someone who deals with sales reps from China a fair bit, this is how they work.

True, but yeah idk maybe it's just that I thought the dude sounded interesting, I kind of like seeing how they use their words in the conversion process between languages, I enjoy seeing how the brain works and so forth.

I did notice he was talking kind of negative at first, then said the company was great afterwards, but I didn't see a clear indication as to why he would make up this exact story, and felt like maybe he's from another land but that he could be sincere in his post.

I can see where some red flags may have been given, so I also see why you have felt the need to question how legit said poster may be.

In all fairness it could be a dude advertising for Mars lights, or it could be just a multilingual person trying to find answers. If the person replies again maybe they will fill us in on the matter.

Thanks tho.

“How can I increase my marijuana yields?” this methods you tried ?
Even More Ways to Increase Cannabis Yields

  1. Increase Light Intensity (plus choose right light for desired yields & possibly add CO2)
  2. Manipulate How Plants Grow (a free way to yield more bud indoors)
  3. Provide Right Nutrients (low Nitrogen in the flowering stage, and remember sometimes less is more!)
  4. Control Growing Environment (let the growing environment work for you)
  5. Harvest Plants Properly (most importantly, don’t harvest early!)
  6. Lastly, it’s important to remember that the strain has a major effect on yields!

Yes, thanks


Yes mars has some negative review somewhere, but marshydro helpful actually, I did many times orders from them, this time they help send my friend the new light said few days later, but we still need to do claim to FEDEX and must to get case number to help mars,the light is expensive fedex must refund them, if my friend didn't sign the broken package he will not meet such a unhappy thing.:-o things were solved finally. as a real customer, i must to say mars is a big company and they always helpful, even on weekend the guy sean will response me very fast, compare my last few years use an unknown light, that's really difference,just tell the truth :-D

don't buy another viparspectra. 400W HPS is going to get hot in that little 4x2x5 tent. and it'll throw a square pattern which means your light distribution wont be even across the tent.

LED tek is finally there. Look into DIY COBS or Bridgelux EB strips. They run cooler and are more efficient. Less heat per watt, and more light per watt. They'll also give you a more even light and heat distributions, without the hot spots of HPS.

a 2 COB fixture or a LED strip build could be done for around $100 and would do a lot better in your tent than a cheap chinese HPS kit.
