VIDEO: Growing Indoors with the Mars Hydro TS 1000W: A Review


If you can’t grow outdoors, then try growing microgreens, herbs, and baby lettuce. If you can grow outdoors, then start your seedlings indoors early for the summer garden. Growing indoors with the promise of a good harvest once the summer comes keeps everyone positive and productive. Be happy and stay healthy!

  1. Exactly! This is what we gonna do now especially in times like this lock down! It's all over the "WORLD". Thanks a lot for all your knowledge and wisdom regarding all methods and of propagating this stuff! Thank you Tikki my dear. Thanks Thanks Thanks

  2. Do you have any products that energy efficiency? I calculated it will cost 12$ per month. And only 2*2 area. Which only grow a little of plant. If use 12 dollar can buy more letters.

  3. hello no sound but very hot and it's 150W and very good Led for the price
    i have a mars hydro 2000 too super product for the price .

  4. Thank you for producing positive content full of concise information!! I was having a bit of a rough start to my day and watching you has brought the sunshine back!! I debated between this exact light, and the Spider Farmer lights. I ended up going with the Spider farmer sf2000. So far so good!! Stay safe and have a blessed day!!

  5. Hi Tikki O,

    Thanks so much for your great videos. You do such a good job; well-organized, ample demonstrations and explanations, and such a calm, friendly, encouraging style. You're a blessing to me, a 66-yr-old girl who's failed with all things gardening until receiving an aerogarden in January and actually succeeding with herbs and lettuce! Now, a couple of AG's later… cherry tomatoes, fairy tale eggplants, kales and other greens… flowers… fun, fun, fun! And newly potted herbs and notes going around to neighbors' porches these days while we're "ordered to shelter at home!"

    Next step is a grow light or two for microgreens and a few Kratky forays. So, thanks much for the two Mars reviews you've done.

    A request if you could possibly do so: As you know, gardening and learning step-by-step takes space and organizing. I wonder, could you give us a "tour" of your indoor gardening spaces, the kinds of tables, shelves, order and arrangements, how much space, square feet, etc different projects are taking, how one can best plan and utilize limited space… all for indoor gardening, and on a budget?

    I have a nice yard in a home we moved into 2 years ago to accommodate my 92-yr-old mom to live with us after her husband passed. But, Mom needs 24/7 hands-on care for "all-things-mobile" and can't be left alone. So, all the gardening needs to be done indoors so I can always help her, AND so she can enjoy and engage in the gardens. I'm trying to figure out how to grow beyond aerogardens, but need help planning and knowing realistically how much space is needed and what is realistic to try to do indoors. We don't have a basement.

    Maybe too big a request — I am sure you're a busy lady! But maybe just a piece here and there of your indoor gardening areas?

    Thanks for all you already share with us — I'm grateful! Stay well, and thanks for brightening the days of so many.

  6. Excellent review Tikki. I’m just starting out so unfortunately this light is not in my budget at this time. I’ll look into the lower, less costly model. Stay well and please keep your videos coming! Love them!

  7. smart lady. thanks for the practical information. 150 watt LED is about equivalent to 1000 watt incandescent in terms of light output? that might be what they were trying to convey.

  8. to get your thermometer to read fahrenheit there is a switch behind the stand on the back of the device.
    Thanks for the review, always nice to watch your videos! I've learned a lot.

  9. Love your videos. You're my favorite hydro utuber! Thought about buying light with fan but you steered me clear of that. Thanks.
    PS: Any little pests show up at your indoor plants? I'm planning my personal nursery b4 I shell out the bucks! Kratkey some for fun but DWC seems most productive. Again thanks for saving me so much time and effort (and money)!

  10. I seen that you have reviewed many grow lights, which one do you think is your best one you reviewed? I am doing the hydroponic bucket system and would like to start bell pepper and cucumbers in my garage.
