I've been use a 1000w hps, any one got any suggestions
you can veg and flower with this light? looking for 3kYup sounds good. Youre ready, now go!
I like the QBs too. I'm running 1 tsw2000 300w in the same size tent. It flowers 3 pretty good, but its way cooler temp than the hps, not cooler like this lol.
thanks for the info, my 1000w hps blub was a 2k looks like the sun in fall, but the electric bill is highYes that is very equivalent to mine. I did the research on that one, and an equivalent HLG. I was economy shopping, and not looking for the best light, just value. They are all equally close, with minor differences in efficiency and draw power. Mars has its own driver, dont know brand off top of my head and the others use a meanwell driver. Diodes, mars uses the UPDATED epistar diodes which are way more efficient than the old ones...i have the old ones and what a difference. The other 2 use the Samsung diodes which are crazy efficient. So you basically get a very similar light in all of them, but I opted for a little less efficient, little more power and 3 year warranty. In regards to spectrum, it's a full spectrum, and I do think it needs a bit more red, but its a very good light. I've got a kessil led (magenta light) that i use in there for a bit more red.
And yes it can flower. I start week 4 tomorrow, see pic.
ya its hard to control the heat. lolYeah that bad boy is hungry for energy, but that spectrum will rock during flower. I don't honestly know though if there is a big difference overall with 2k or 3k during flower. Maybe another member can educate us!
I love my Spider Farmer sf-4000. The output is amazing, no real heat, and only draws 440 watts at the wall. Here's a picture of my roughly 5x4 under that light. Getting a par rating of about 1000 in the center at 15 inches. 600 at the corners.I've been use a 1000w hps, any one got any suggestions
That's a pretty sweet looking light too - 450 watts, > 1000 samsung diodes...damn! I would have got it if I had the $ at the time...damn pandemic!I love my Spider Farmer sf-4000.

I got lucky. The company had a "damaged" one for sale on ebay. I got it for the price of a sf-2000 and the damage consisted of a slightly bent corner on the metal that made absolutely no difference in the performance.That's a pretty sweet looking light too - 450 watts, > 1000 samsung diodes...damn!

I was looking at that, but the price! lol<-------saving change.I got lucky. The company had a "damaged" one for sale on ebay. I got it for the price of a sf-2000 and the damage consisted of a slightly bent corner on the metal that made absolutely no difference in the performance.
I get that, believe me. I just happened to come into some money one day and figured, what better way to invest it than in my stash prospects. So I built the grow tent I wanted.I was looking at that, but the price! lol<-------saving change.
