in this quick video we're going to review the awesome grow light the mars hydro ts2000 we're
going to unbox it i'm going to review it and i'm going to show you how i'm using it for winter
growing stay around to the end and i'll share mars hydro discount code with you these lights
are great for commercial and home growing this is tim from organic backyard gardening
as the winter months set in it's starting to get too cold to grow outside and even
if it was warm there's not enough daylight to sustain growth something i've done is actually
uprooted some of my vegetables in my garden brought them inside rosemary thyme oregano
basil and even pepper plants are all receiving the benefits of the inside warmth and light
i'm using right now my ts 1000 which was sent to me by mars hydro and it's
doing a great job at giving these plants enough light
i'm using the dimming functionality of this light to run it at about fifty percent capacity and i'm
running it on solar with my battery pack fifty percent dimmed it's only consuming about 72 watts
mars hydra reached out again and asked if i wanted to test out one of their larger lights
the next upgrade the ts2000 i thought this would be perfect to use in the greenhouse to support
growth throughout the winter months so let's take a look at it it comes with ratchet cords
this model utilizes two 150 watt drivers and also has the dimming module which i'll talk about later
before mounting the drivers i noticed there was a film protecting the aluminum
make sure you remove that this area on the light gets hot each driver
mounts in with two screws as well as the dimming module
each driver has an output you plug that output into the board
this light measures two feet by two feet and covers a four by four foot growing space as
you can see it's extremely bright i'm adjusting the shutter speed on my camera so you can see
the different colored leds that make up a full spectrum light this light is equipped with
four different leds the warm light white light a red light and an infrared light
what makes these series lights different is the dimming function
and the daisy chain functionality to daisy chain multiple lights together for the same brightness
when you're using the dimming function this is really attractive for commercial growers
so let's go into the greenhouse and hook this up growth this time of year has been extremely slow
even though we haven't had too many below freezing temperatures growth is still very
very slow so i'm going to hook this light up over some corn salad arugula and spinach that i have
so on those warm days they get the light they need and we'll get some more growth
so all i did was attach the ratchet cords to the purl ends
then i connected the hanging cables to the housing which was included
i have this hanging a couple feet above the garden bed and we'll see how this does and i think this
is going to work really well the plants already look happy i'm going to start some spinach seeds
in the next month or so and this will really help them out once they start to emerge from the soil
