Can i use this in a 1x2 x1x2 x2 height with 1 fc3000 or would i meed to add my ts 1000 and my sunfarm 100watts.
I've been using this light for about a year now. It has definitely taken me to the next level. I highly recommend for anyone using a 3x3. Also the driver is removable so if you have to decrease heat in the tent even more you can run the driver outside the tent since there is plenty of cord length
What height do you keep your light at?
Great review 👏 Cheers to Mars Hydro 👍 Thanks for sharing 🙏
I love this light!!
This looks like the same light as my ViparSpectra KS3000. I've been enjoying it in my 3x3. It's been awesome!
I am now goin 2 buy thanks!!!!
Alright alright alright nice very nice cheers
How does this compare to the FC-3000 EVO? Does the FC-3000 EVO have the Osram far red diodes as the FC-3000?
I have 2 FC E 3000s with mean well drivers I think they have Mars drivers now but even with bridgelux diodes Im impressed 👍🏿 👍👍🏿👍😜✅💯💯‼️👍‼️
Right on!
THANKS
just got one on black friday sale for 220$ so i have very high hopes lol
I have a 5x32in vivosun tent with 2 of these im a new grower my lowest yield was over a lb with my other 2 being over 220z which was my first grow 3 grow I yielded 23.5 dried and trimmed love the lights
Oh heck yea!
Very informative ! thank you, you handsome bastard! I think having a watt meter is a good idea.
Hahaha thanks Joe!
The FC3000 uses 896 Samsung diodes, you're thinking of the FCE3000 which has 1184 Bridgelux.
Thank you for the upload! I have 2 pcs of TS600 in my 2x2 and I am constantly fighting with heat. The Mars Hydro site says that each has around 384 BTU heat output so together they should give around 750 BTU. I am thinking about to upgrade my lights to one FC-3000 it could fit perfectly in the 2x2, but that 1000+ BTU that you mentioned freaked me out. Would it have any sense then to change my lights? I thought that much more efficient lights produces less heat, but this one produces more heat and not even produces that much PAR/PPFD on 75% (200W) as my my two TS600 - (100+100W). How is it possible? I am really confused now. My light coverage is also more evenly spread than Your measuring with this light. Weird.
How many plants can you grow in that size tent ?
@@roadrunner7441 3 mid size, max 4.
@@massivedynamic9848 How many lights for 3-4 plants ?
@@roadrunner7441 That 2 TS-600 (95W each) I mentioned. With only one, tomatoes are not happy, but you can do even that. If I know it well around 50W/plant is recommended with full spectrum leds.
@@roadrunner7441 on fс3000 4 autoflowers in a 4x4 tent is better. then there will be less heat in the tent and the light will be enough, it cannot be used at 100% power without carbon dioxide
3:09 1000% power
Just trying to make sure you are paying attention lol
I have two of these lights in a 3x6 and I have problems at 2 ft I keep getting light burn my plants keep trying to get away from the light but you're saying 16 in I get confused if I do what you guys say I have a lot of problems
Hey, Mike thanks for reaching out. Try playing around with the dimming feature a bit to see if you can dial in a healthy output for your plants
I'm having the same problem. 18" height at 50% strength was still burning my plants in veg. Moved it to 24" height to see if that helps.
Research Par ppfd and dli. They are different for autos and photos.
Can you touch that with your hand when it's been on a while trying to find out if it's going to heat up the grow room at all
It definitely does feel warm to the touch after a while. I didn't have it on for 12-18 hours so I don't personally know about how hot it is after that long
No u cant touch it when its on 75-100 on the dimmer. It does kick out some heat but u can have the driver outside the tent for lower temps
@@gambitkiller457 I really wanted to go with the Mars Hydro but the fact that this one folds and has the detachable driver was the deal breaker for me
@@futurewhale5793 the fc 3000 isnt foldable. Its the only light in the fc series that doesnt fold
@@futurewhale5793 Yea, this light does not fold but the driver is detachable
In your opinion, would you say this light is good in a 3x3 with two autos? TIA
I haven't personally used it with autos but I haven't heard anything negative about the light in that situation. So I would say you're good to go!
currently got 4 autos in a 3x3 i think it will fit nicely
@@basjansma764 are you running the light full power? How high about the canopy are you? The tent I recently purchased is actually 2.6x2.6
@@larrabeejohn6130 at full power canopy is little less then 1 meter high almost reaching flower
Sometimes I see these with green frames and sometimes without. Are they the same light? Different versions?
Yea, the green ones seem to be the newer version
green is an economy option, with bridgelux diodes
@@planetaryengineer Nah - it's not. It's the new revision of the FC3000.
@@NoxeyValorantVoDs-zx8hf yes, it uses bridgelux diodes and no ultraviolet, with a driver not Meanwell, plastic.
@@NoxeyValorantVoDs-zx8hf not even economical, where there is no plastic between the aluminum beams, they get very hot at 75%, I added copper pipes with liquid. I don’t know what will happen to the economy, plastic between steel does not conduct heat well.
Full honesty is this light better then the s33 for a 3 x 3 tent grow
Oooh that's tough. I am a bar style light guy so I prefer the FC-3000
What’s the difference between bar lights and the boards in your opinion? Im in my research stage now. Doing some experimenting in a tower garden and trying to learn but I need some stronger lights.
This light has helped me pay some bills if you know what I mean lol
Haha right on
little water and a weak lamp you have. I bought an apartment with this lamp, son.
