They're looking great. Daddy really took off! Reminds me of my Queenie, who got moved to her own tent today.

I thought you had purchased one or two Mars lights, though?

Thanks witchy! Right now all 3 are running off the 1 Mars hydro 600w I am going to be ordering another light real soon. It's either between another Mars hydro or the newest led light you have

That way if I get one more light I can line them up in a straight line 3 across. Maybe next grow try 4

I really feel like they are both equally good, and the price per Watt is the same. The new light has switches to turn the lights on and off, and you can also choose bloom or veg mode. I just leave both modes on.

Now, I do like having the 450 W light on top because its wider than the 300's.

If you have the space sideways, I one 450 W on top and the 300 Mars on the sides may be the way to go. ButI'm finding the ideal distance from the plants is at least 2 ft from the plants.

I'm pretty sure junior is going to tower over the parents. Dinafem genetics are top notch. Dan the Mars that you and witchy have are great lights. What makes them so great is they are more entry level and they are super inexpensive. But when you get into the newer Mars panels for the price there are so many better options. I would do a few grows under the cheaper Mars before you spend a bunch on the new ones though.

Definitely BigSm0, I have seen the big price increase from older mars to the newer one so being a beginner I'll definitely go with the few cheaper ones for now. I think so far I been having good results with the old mars. I'm hoping junior (Dinafem critical) takes off real soon!
