Like the title says, I'm looking for the best MH light to grow a single plant. I'm looking for passive cooling, minimal weight, with a wattage draw between 100 - 250 watts. I like my auto cobs, but by the time I add 3 or 4 to a single plant ... it's just too much weight for my set-up. I also have been running a single California Lightworks Solar Extreme 250 and I am very happy with the results with a single plant, but they are on the expensive side, (and not passive) . I don't do diy very well, so please keep that in mind. If you have any suggestions that isn't from MarsHydro, please pm me and as I don't think Miss Tina would like to see other light company suggestions in her corner of AFN. Thanks! :peace:
 
I'd say it's a choice between the TS600 100watts and TS1000 150 watts. I'd go with the 1000 for the extra umph but depends on your space
My current grow space is 32 inch, (81 cm) by 7 ft, (213 cm), and I'm on a 4 plant limit. Since I grow different strains from grow to grow, I change the way I fit the plants together.... depending on the overall size of each plant, (using crates and sometimes stools to level up the canopy). Btw, I took a look at the TS1000 and it seems to be what I'm looking for. I have read a few reviews that said they will raise the temps, but that's not a bad thing for me in my climate as I like to grow fall, winter, and spring, so I can take the summer off. Anyways, thanks for your recommendation! :headbang:
Definitely depends on your space, but assuming a 2'x2' single plant the ts1000 sounds perfect. You can dim it a bit for more efficiency/heat reduction as well.
I like the dimming option as well and I believe I also read that the TS1000 uses a Meanwell driver. Thanks for your input! :headbang:

I don't think the 1000 uses Meanwell drivers but I wouldn't let that put you off. I'm currently running 2 in my 1.5 x 1m x 1.8m, with a plant under each, and can't fault them
