What up yall!
My new spider light came in today!
I like it for 149.00!
Now I can spread my girlz out a little.

 

[Keef]

I'll take a dozen !--

Keef, if your considering those spider farmer lights...one thing is the sf-2000 is not the same as two sf-1000, the 2000 has more than double the number of LED’s and perhaps some different mixing of red in there...they seem to used quality components in the leds and drivers...mine had a screw loose that would not thread back into the hole...I didn’t force it because I may move the driver out of the grow box anyway...right now I need the heat inside...there really isn’t much to them, just a stamped out flat piece of aluminum....with hangers of course...wish I had a space to hang ona those big mutha’s...

Mine is on a track system to spread all that light out

Love the sf 2000s, running 2 of them now alongside my HPS600, plants wrote a 5 star review on Amazon under my login.
Hey Lesso where u at, here's your keto cuisine for the day; feeling a bit fluffy lately and cutting carbs again, we got us some chicken marinated in the juice from a can of artichokes , sous vide the broil with olives, and Brussels sprouts seared in duck fat n shallots.

I did a strain a while ago. Blueberry OG x tres star dawg, it was bred by eT. Blueberry is very muted, chem dominant. Eh, it's good, but I probably won't grow it again.

 

[thegloman]

Dang!
SA. , That looks amazing!

 

[Keef]

How many square feet of coverage can I get out one those- 2000 watts lights ?--

 

[2RedEyes]

The web say for veg, 3x4 and for flower, 2x4...so one of those should do two of your current aero boxes...

 

[Keef]

Bout 2,000 watts a square yard (9 sq. ft ) ?-- I was thinking of one those 1,000 watt or 1500 - per square yard - I'm running about 600 watts now -- Which would be best economic choice ?

 

[thegloman]

The sf 4000 has a 5 x 5 footprint for flower and 6 x 6 for veg. But is about $550.

 

[Keef]

I was thinking -$150 lights ?

 

[Rosebud]

SA will you marry me? Oh never mind. That is beautiful food up there.
I have been making so much soup i am sick of it. Smokeumifyougotum.

 

[thegloman]

I like the king 1500 I have.
It is a pink or blurple or whatever but it does a good job and runs 155 bucks

 

[Keef]

I would like some white LEDs for bloom - but I probably use my pink lights in veg -- since I got'm !-- I'll probably use my cloners and grower boxes in early veg then maybe move them to a grow medium -- Let them settle in then take them to bloom ! -- Tell U true I won't know what I'm do until I see the place !- I'll adapt to it !--

The SF2000 only runs about 250-300 watts (can't recall exactly) per 2000w HID equivalent output, so you can really cram em in there good for your equivalent coverage. Frankly, I am pretty happy running them with traditional HID side by side in the same space. I use my HID for heat which you crazy Texans don't need because y'all bleed hot sauce anyways. Cut me, you might get maple syrup. If you're lucky. But the watts you need per unit of area is 80+% lower so you can recalculate your coverage if youre doing it on actual consumption. And they play so nice with old school lights that a gradual replacement as HID bulbs get old is quite all right!

Rose it's been soup season since the day after thanksgiving when I got my split pea tags ; ) made so much soup this winter the warden thinks I'm poaching. Season closes in a couple weeks so stock up your freezer!

I have found this to be accurate using a 12-24" canopy gap with my non uniform plant heights lol. Guess it comes down to geometry in the end, too.

 

[thegloman]

Can you pick which one is hemp?
Front center in the plastic pot.

I have a 5gal of mash working in there too. I'm not sure it's enough to change the Co2 levels but its warmer in the grow room so the mash won't stall out.

 

[2RedEyes]

Hmm, I kinda figured hemp would be a little more lanky, bushy might be good for a hemp plant grown indoors...
