Mars Hydro

Mars Hydro – Affordable, powerful LED grow lights and grow tents for every indoor grower

Mars Hydro is one of the best-known brands in the world of LED grow lights and grow tents. Since 2009, the brand has been developing full-spectrum LED grow lights, tents, and ventilation solutions for both novice hobby growers and serious, semi-professional growers. Mars Hydro is known for its strong price-performance ratio: lots of µmol of light per dollar, with a wide range for small and large grow tents.

Four main lines: TS, SP, FC, and FC-E(EVO)

The current Mars Hydro range mainly revolves around four LED series: TS series – affordable quantum board lamps for beginners and smaller tent sets;
SP series – elongated bar lights with strong light penetration, ideal for narrow tents or rows;
FC series – high-end, foldable bar LEDs with Samsung diodes, aimed at maximum yield per m²;
FC-E(EVO) series – modular, smart bar lights with Bridgelux/Samsung diodes, lots of light for a competitive price. These four series cover virtually every situation: from 60×60 cm hobby tents to commercial (CO₂) setups around 150×150 cm.

Full sun-like spectrum with red and optional UV

All modern Mars Hydro lamps work with a white full spectrum (usually 3000K + 5000/6000K) supplemented with deep red around 660 nm, and with certain FC/SP models, extra UV and far red. This spectrum closely resembles sunlight and is suitable for the entire cycle: seedlings, growth, and flowering. This allows plants to remain under a single fixture without changing the lamp or spectrum.

High efficiency and quiet, passive cooling

Mars Hydro focuses on high efficiency (µmol/J) and stable performance. The modern FC and FC-E(EVO) lamps use efficient drivers and aluminum cooling profiles with passive cooling, eliminating the need for fans. This results in quiet operation, fewer moving parts, and controlled heat dissipation—ideal for grow tents and enclosed grow rooms.

Dimmable, smart features, and coverage per tent size

Almost all current Mars Hydro models are equipped with a dimmer, allowing you to adjust the light intensity to suit the seedling, growth, or flowering phase. The smart versions (especially in the FC-E and EVO lines) offer additional features such as app control, wireless connection of multiple lamps, and programming schedules (e.g., sunrise/sunset curves). For each model, Mars Hydro clearly indicates the tent size (60×60, 80×80, 100×100, 120×120, 150×150, etc.) for which the lamp is optimal, which greatly simplifies the selection process.

Grow tents, ventilation, and complete Mars Hydro grow kits

In addition to LED grow lights, Mars Hydro also supplies sturdy, light-tight grow tents with reflective interiors, plus matching fans, carbon filters, and accessories. These components are often combined into complete grow kits: a Mars Hydro lamp, tent, extraction system, filter, suspension equipment, and basic accessories in one package. This allows beginners to get started quickly, while advanced growers can easily build a second or third setup with the same ecosystem.

Popular with hobby growers and serious growers alike

Mars Hydro is one of the most popular brands among indoor growers worldwide because it combines affordability, performance, and a wide range of products. From a first TS600 in a 60×60 tent to a complete 150×150 setup with an FC(EVO) top lamp and CO₂: with Mars Hydro, you can build an efficient, scalable indoor grow room step by step. This allows the brand to grow effortlessly with you, from hobby project to serious cultivation.
