How to use variable spectrum grow lights | 2024 New Mars Hydro FC6500-EVO & ADLITE UV/IR/Deep Red

Congratulations to MARS HYDRO on 15 years in business today August 15th 2024.

I test the new MARS HYDRO FC6500 LED grow light and the Adlite supplementary LED UV, IR and Deep red LED lights.
I add my suggestion on how to use the supplementary lights to maximise growth rate and quality of your grow.

I purchased 12 sets of the 680nm and 24 sets of the 730nm about 2 months ago. In total the room has 1200 watts of combined 680+730nm, she's red and bright! Starting week 5 of flower today! I've been doing both only on 15 mins after lights off but I'm gonna switch to 680s on 12 hours a day after watching this. Thanks!

I am using old school LED lights (Bloomspect 3000's) . If you are looking for a short, stalky plant in Veg. I use lots of blue 410 - 470 nm with Green 510 nm in veg. I don't add in the Red 630 - 730nm till the plant has grown 4 - 6 nodes(doesn't take long with the increased blue and green light). Then I try to slowing increase the intensity of the Red light being added. This is because in my experience the plant is SUPER sensitive to Red light compared to Blue Light. Difficult to provide too much blue light for Cannabis but very easy to provide too much red light.

Clear detail, I’m trying your suggestions at the moe so time will tell 👍

i got the humidifier, its a beast. As a german, i like the quality ! fc-e 3000 is on the way !

Awesome to see that review. Some european grower teaches to have only far red on max 30min before and after lights are on... Because thats what the sun shows. First red, last red. But with that logic i was thinking so uv is also always there... Infrared also..

[allseeingguy]

I would love to see this integrated into a single fixture! Adding a dimming option for each spectrum would be great for mimicking sunrise and sunset.

I reckon every colour we see in the rainbow is good 🌈. Them old purple lights were inefficient but they made plants get very sticky hi terps

Hi shane
if you get a spare minute could you do a video on your thoughts and maybe test under canopy lighting
thanks

[JamesBecton-oh]

Thanks for the info.. I was a little confused in regards to using the far-red only for 15 minutes after the lights off and transition to IR for an additional 15 minutes as well. So, Ill be running the Far-Reds for 12 hrs with the main lights.

great show my friend i use the fc-e1500 only 150watts but at 10 inches like it says it reads over 1400 just hoping it does not burn the plants that close still new to growing with leds so i dont know yet but marshydro seems to be decent equipment

[growersmindset]

nice video. i might be trying some supplemental lighting soon.

Question 🙋‍♂️ my good 👍 sir? Can you do a content video on how much par and photosynthesis lowers as you go through the canopy and also do it in multiple stages. Seedling 🌱 maybe 🤔 naturally already answered because of space obviously 🙄. You could do an early stage like not super thick canopy and then do an extremely dense canopy I mean maxed out kinda canopy and do all layers. Then you could do normal pre flower 🌸or veggie grow however it needs to be done ✅ to fit within guidelines so you don’t get into trouble and then a last few days before harvest and do all layers of canopy again. 😊I would love ❤️ ❤❤❤❤❤ to see those results. Also obviously 🙄 you pick one ☝️ of your lights 1st 🥇

Hmm I thought I saw Professor Bugbee debunk UV and IR. Thanks for the video :)

[racebiketuner]

Just anecdotal info... I did a crude germination experiment last winter (about 100 cells) comparing a variety of conventional lights vs GroWealth 1500 with UV/far red switches on all the time. I used a cheap-o meter to get equal PAR. The GroWealth made a believer out of me. The stems were fatter and the seedlings did better after transplant. Not a night-and-day difference, but for sure enough to justify the added cost.

[billybudz]

I agree with your far red recommendation Shane. However, using too much far red in longer flowering genotypes is tricky. It is my experience to keep far red at a minimum thru veg and completely off during transition (if possible) to tighten up the node spacing. After week 4 as much light as possible. Maintaining veg dli thru transition is also helpful indoors.

Thanks for the video. can talk about New SP 3000R Red Spectrum ?

[bitooljuice]

Hello, In terms of UV, we stay on fluo lamp, it's more effective. The features of this new light are really cool, and we ve been waiting for this kind of upgrade for a long time. After I hope MARS HYDRO gives a nice dimming turorial with the light to teach when to turn ON the IR and Deep Red. And when we are talking about MARS HYDRO we are talking about China and TEMU's quality. For this light we will need to test it at least 3 years to see how it ends... Thanks again for your video. and keep it green.
