Mars Hydro FC-E3000 300W LED Grow Light delivers 840 µmol/s PPF and 2.8 µmol/J PPE with smart-ready controls and passive cooling for efficient 3x3 grow tent cultivation

Efficient 300W LED grow light with full spectrum, 2.8 μmol/J PPE, and smart control for 2–4 plant indoor grows.

Dialed-in performance for first-time growers—the Mars Hydro FC-E3000 is the perfect starting point if you're running 2–4 plants in a 2.5' x 2.5' or 3' x 3' space. This bar-style 300W LED packs a punch with 840 µmol/s PPF and a PPE of 2.8 µmol/J, beating out most panel-style lights in both output and reliability.

Why settle for hot spots and short lifespan from cheap panels? The FC-E3000 offers even light spread, low heat, and full-spectrum coverage tuned for every stage—from seed to flower. It's smart-ready via the Mars Hydro APP, letting you automate sunrise/sunset, dimming, and scheduling down to the minute. Perfect for grow tents and first-time setups.

Is the Mars Hydro FC-E3000 Energy-Efficient?

Yes—at 2.8 µmol/J, it easily outperforms HPS and older LEDs (1.3–2.1 µmol/J). You get stronger growth, bigger yields, and up to 50% energy savings over HID lighting. Great for growers looking to stretch every watt in a 3'x3' veg or 2.5'x2.5' flower setup.

FAQs

How many watts do I need for my grow space?

The wattage depends on the size of your grow tent or room. A general guideline is 30-50 watts per square foot for high-light plants like cannabis. For example, a 2x2 ft area may need 100-200W, while a 4x4 ft area may require 400-600W for optimal coverage.

What is the difference between full-spectrum and red/blue LED grow lights?

Full-spectrum LED lights mimic natural sunlight, providing a balanced mix of blue (for vegetative growth) and red (for flowering and fruiting) light. Red/blue LED lights focus on specific wavelengths but may not support plants as effectively as full-spectrum lights.
