Mars Hydro hit me up again to take look at one of their newer grow lights, the Mars Hydro TS 1000. It’s a very “bare bones” LED grow light from Mars that comes in around the $120 mark depending where you get it, and for that price you get a shockingly good umol/J.
Overall, it’s a buy for a budget grow led grow light for beginners. If you’re looking for maximum yield and price is no object, then I would recommend a higher-tier grow light. But if you’re getting started, it’s a fantastic light.

Don’t buy, the light doesn’t turn all the way off and when I contacted them, they told me to rewire a power strip . Lol crazy they would even suggest that. Go with a different brand.
Great review. Thank you sir!
I wish you had a "special" flower growing channel. I've learned so much about growing all types of other plants from you. You're brilliant thanks for the videos!
I want to try one for starting tobacco seedlings. How much floor space will it cover? My plants are only
like 6" tall.
Did you test the light? Did you grow anything under it?
Good for microgreens? How many 10×20 trays could this light work on?
If I daisy chain 2 of these will it work for a 4×4×6 tent?
What do you recommend today?
If i buy two and hook them together (daisychain) would I only need to plug one light into a Timer to control both? Or do they each have to be hooked to a seperate timer? Thanks,
GT says put it all the way up to the top lol
Could you add some sort of skirt around the short refector?
In my tropical warm house I still use the tried and tested sodium vapor lamps.
How hot does it get
Any reason why my Ts1000 doesn't have as many of those red lights throughout the lighting? I have the newer version of it, so maybe that's why? Just worried it might be malfunctioning. Any help please !
Will this be too big for my tent 2x2x4??
What about the number of the dimmer when in vegetative stage?
How many hours is it good for ? Thanks
I thought this was s Property Brother.
I'd love to try this out.
I try tham and my hilux gro . 1000 s hps 146000 lumes . with optimized red and blue . let and cfl sun baaster vag . vant a. Super hps . real good for bud . good vidéo man.
They run 150 watts by the way everyone you can even test this by a voltage meter. It has a great umol and par put out. Use the right environment with good soil and all organic nutrients and you can get 5oz out of a 3 gal pot on up. Just use coco, powdered perlite, worm castings and Powdered Gaia green 4*4*4 and 2*8*4.
recommend a higher-tier grow light? which ones?
Scored one (Non working) at an auction, took 5 minutes to get it figured out and 15 to fix it. 38.00!
Lights are trash customer service is trash You were warned
totally new to grow rooms but… These lights were on a flash sale at amazon so i bought two and a gorilla 4×4 shorty on a whim… Can you give me an honest assessment if this is a good light setup or should i get something else around $300? Be prepared for more questions as I just subscribed. Also I got the AC Infinity CLOUDLINE T6 for venting so comments on that would be great too. Thanks in advance!
Damn, the $60 clone I bought off Amazon is way better.
That light is fake, these replicas are all over Ebay for less $……Mars TS has the Mars Hydro Logo written on the inside of the LED, plus an adhesive sticker on the frame panel..
Which light is the best for growing strawberries indoors? (I plan to hand pollinate and keep indoors through harvest).
I know recommended light distance but what do you all use for optimal results with this light
