U only need 500-800 par or ppfd to flower. Alot of guys on youtube have used it with ok results.
They're all over the site. But interesting enough this guy leaves his on 24/7 cycle also.

Idk 500 is on the low side and that YT is definitely just ok results. The video
used only the area directly under the lamp and came out with 2oz. He completely lost me when he said he could fill the tent and get 8-12 zips. A great grower could maybe dial in a high yielding cut and get 8 but for a creator to say that about a sponsored product just makes me chuckle and view them as a likely shyster

Underwhelming results from a marginal light for the space

Numbers don't lie, the PAR map posted previously speaks volumes

That's the line that gets me. Instead of actually reading, he would rather stare at words for what seems like an appropriate amount of time before turning the page.

Those first 6 seasons were genius, I love the full thing tbh, the oil refinery episode is a favourite too

I do fine with a 2x4 tent and a 240w board dimmed to 180w. Intensity and DLI are more relevant than wattage. At 18hrs I'm still getting a DLI of 45 dimmed down to 180w (22.5w ft²) and sitting 17" from the canopy. These are going on 48 days old and doing fine with less light than his.

I've pulled 155g off a single auto in a 3x1.6 at 110w.

I think a healthy environment is more important than straight up wattage in this case. You can throw all the light you want at a plant but if it's in a sub standard environment it's moot.

Surprised that no one has mentioned anything about the temps. Leds require a warmer environment. I'm guessing that the tent is likely to cold and the plant is unhappy because she's got wet feet.

That's utter nonsense

Show the charts you reference!

Spider farmer more efficient they use lm301b diodes and meanwell drivers not crappy epistar diodes and no name drivers like mars

Since you're unwilling or unable to provide anything other than an opinion:

Overall the TS1000 is 43% more powerful than the SF1000 as tested

A far better choice in a 2' x 2' tent
