2x spiderfarmer SF1000 in a 2x2ft - hanging height

If i would use 2x spiderfarmer SF1000 in my 2x2ft box, would the hanging height still be 12-18" for flowering?

I wanna up my total watts in there for flowering to maximize yield pr. harvest, not yield/watt ofc.
So i am actually planning to do 2x spiderfarmer SF1000 dimmed to 75% (about 150watts total).
This should give a better spread of light, and help me prevent "fluffy" buds in the corners.

i run the sf 2000 in a 2.5x2x5ft grow box i say keep them about 16 inches max or the heat coming off the light will start cooking the leaves . if you have good enough air moving over your canopy im sure you can run the lights 12 inches but apparently the par out put is too high at 12inches or lower unless using co2 ect

as someone thats been growing in small spaces or a while i will say upping the amount of light wont give you a bigger yield then the amount capable for that space. you really only have 1ft of good canary to work with. everything blow that pretty much gets no light so even growing the plant tall you wont get a bigger yield just my 2 cents

Lots of heat in there with those two

Rn im running 1 sf1000, and my temps stay around 17-20c, so i dont think heat will be the problem.

Okay thank you, 12 inches might be to low. Im no expert, but from what i know, you can decent bud size and density with 600+ ppfd.
Spiderfarmers ppfd map shows that it “fires” 600+ in the center, and as “low” as 250+ in corners. And thats still 0.33ft from the reflective Walls.
Im just trying to get as much as possible from this tiny grow space, haha

It’s gonna be too much light for a 2x2, even if dimmed down. Id get 1 fixture and look into some side lighting for the rest.

I actually tried looking for side lighting, but I can’t find anything as effecient and cheap as the Spiderfarmer.

Sure if it fits? Just run them dimmed down, will have slower depreciation and better coverage. Or look @ strip lights that fit your wattage/space criteria better.

How are youre yields with that tent and light? Im searching for a led to that size of tent cause my 400w hps has got me flages by the electricity company and have to think of another cheaper light....

Best light i have ever tried so far. Very little heat, and hitting yields around 1g/w this harvest
