Mars Hydro TS1000 LED Grow Light vs Medic Grow MINI SUN-2 LED Grow Light

The MINI SUN-2 is the stronger light on paper: 2.8 µmol/J and 420 µmol/s PPF against the TS1000's 2.3 µmol/J and 343 µmol/s, and it adds a built-in timer. The TS1000 is the simpler, lighter, cheaper-feeling starter panel with a proven track record and a wider 2.5'x2.5' flower footprint. Buy the Mars Hydro for a first 2x2 to 2.5x2.5 tent on a tight budget; buy the Medic Grow if you want more light per watt, a timer and a longer power cord in the same small space.

• Choose the Mars Hydro TS1000 if you want a light, proven starter panel for a 2.5'x2.5' tent and don't need a built-in timer.
• Choose the Medic Grow MINI SUN-2 if efficiency, a built-in timer and a longer cord matter more than saving money on a first setup.
