Man, so much good input here! Different and dissenting opinions are what I'm after
I love getting leads on a variety of quality, research-based articles
AND hearing about first-hand experience. This is such a great resource and I appreciate all the info!
I ended up going with two SF 1000 from Spider Farm. They claim to use the Samsung LM301B and a Mean Well driver, which seem to be capable components. It was between them or the Kingbrite via Alibaba.
I went with two 100w units since I plan on growing a few varieties in a 2x4x5 tent. Figured I could adjust one light if/when the different varieties grow unevenly. Going to try some untrained auto flowers in soil for my first indoor grow: Blue Dream'matic by FastBuds; Dinamed Kush 16:1 CBD by Dinafem; and Honey Peach 1:1 CBD by Sweet Seeds. After I see how they grow untrained, I'm going to try a scrog grow with one or all of them. Just waiting for the delivery from Seedsman
Thanks again everyone!
