Hello all, this is my first post and i am new to the community. I have basic knowledge of growing been doing it for few years now. I always have used HID lamps for flower and T5 HO lamps for veg in the past. I am starting from scratch and i am buying a 4x4x6.6 tent and plan to use a mars reflector 144 possibly 2 of them.... My only question is can i use this light for both flower and veg. I plan to grow via DWC and scrog the plants. But i am unsure if i can use these lights for effective veg growth. I will not be growing autos... So am i better off buying a nuwave T5 HO for veg then switch to the mars for flower or can i simply use the mars reflector 144 for both cycles... I will post link to the light i am talking about any advice will be great!

Edit: i know that the light shows a veg and a bloom switch so i am not asking if i can ise it for veg but fhe spectrums seem to be low in the blue so thats where my concern comes from. If someone with experience with these lights can let me know how they perform with veg would be great!

Good luck getting much of a response. Not much on here but cob nobs. Always makes me wonder what posses people to buy this crap if you have That much money to spend why not buy a tryed and true product that will last years, and give the highest yield possible. People on here are pulling 1.5 to 2 gpw with some of the fixtures for sale you'll be lucky to get 1 gpw with that thing. With that said it will work for veg and flower and don't believe any of the outrageous claims of coverage that thing says it has, but it will grow weed.

^what hes saying is mars is garbage. cheap light with poor support. it will work but prob not any sort of upgrade over your current setup
