So I’m switching up my grow area and wanna change up some things. I’ve done some research and want to go with the spider farmer SF-1000 and need recommendations for a tent size for about 4-5 plants. And if that’s a good choice of a light for the area it’ll have to cover. Thank you all recommendations are appreciated

SF-1000 is 100 watts it will barley flower 1 plant by itself in a 2-3 by 2-3. If you are on a tight budget and NEED that many plants use Alibaba. Either Meijiu or maybe Kingbrite for QB's.
Thank u sir ill check it out. How big grow tent should I buy ?

If you are gonna use one sf 1000 I'd not go bigger than a 2 x 2 tent if you can find one. Otherwise go bigger but know if you do you will want more light. If you went say a 2x4 you would be well served with three 1000s or if budget allows a diy kit from hlg would be a great fit. I use hlg 260s which are older so whatever the new ones are, might be the 320 kits.

thats what a couple of wee autos looks like in a 120cm x 60 cm x 180, or also know as a 2ft by 4ft grow tent. you'll need a 4 foot x 4 foot for 4-5 plants. i will only be putting 3 into my tent , maximum. my light is a migro aray 4 designed for 4x2 space. and 2 mars hydro ts-1000 might be enough. i dont know what kind of budget you have. you could use 4 viperspectra p1000, they are 100 dollars each???

I don’t wanna go crazy on a light and maybe i can cut back on the amount of plants. Maybe go 2-3 plants. I think maybe a bigger one light rather than multiple smaller ones but then again u get better light distribution with multiple. I don’t want a blurple I wanna try one with the warm white light

Yeah I might have to reconsider my light.

I currently have a 2 X SF2000's running in a 4x4. I have 3 x Gelot.OG and 3 x Amnesia Haze Fast starting their second week of 12/12. I am expecting at least a pound. I also have a second 2x4 with some shitty blurples with the moms for the above, a couple Durban Poison moms, and 3 new White Widow seedlings.

In my opinion, you MIGHT be able to squeeze 2 plants under your SF1000 in a 2 X 2 grow tent. It will be tight. You could probably get around 4-5 oz. with that setup, assuming plants in soil.
