Your the one who recommended king bright to me a years ago on the 🏝. That light still rockin!i use 480w kingbrite leds over a 3x3 TRAY and they work great. been using them for close to 5 years.
The c02 vs no c02 makes sense. Thanks. They do have a PPFD map. I take their documentation lightly.tetttThe footprint for these will just depend on how high you hang it. I think that by "commercial" they mean c02, and personal is no c02. To get over 1000 par you probably have to have it so low that the footprint won't cover 3x3. They should have a PAR map picture for the light at different heights
The Mars literature says its good for 3x3 personal grow coverage or 2.5 x 2.5 commercial grow. What’s the difference? Does it really not cover 3x3?
Thank you. That brings up another question. Looking at the PPFD map, a few inches makes a big difference. I don't have a uniform level canopy so will their be a lot of diversity in the buds as some will be closer than others to the light?The FC-E3000 is 24x24 inches, it won’t cover 3x3 ideally like you’re going to want, if you’re seeking peak performance.
A Mars Hydro FC-E4800 is 32x32 inches, it will fit in your 36x36 inch tent and give you peak performance.
Get the FC-E4800 and run it 6-12 inches over your canopy. It will run most efficiently, cooler, and effectively that way. That’s how it is intended to be ran; close to the canopy.

I've had a fce-4800 for over a year and I can tell you 6-12 inches that sounds way to close. I believe in flower I had mine about 20-24 inches and it foxtailed hard. Any recommendations for me?The FC-E3000 is 24x24 inches, it won’t cover 3x3 ideally like you’re going to want, if you’re seeking peak performance.

Candidly, I would look for a bar style light equivalent in size and wattage, but with Samsung lm301b or lm301h diodes and a meanwell driver.
I have 2 Spider Farmer SE3000’s side by side in a 3x3 tent, you can see my diary. I had to rig them to make it work, but it works really well for me. I’ll say I did research and when I bought my first SE3000 it had lm301b diodes and a meanwell driver. I was going to get a SE5000 (equivalent to the light I recommended to you) but I won another SE3000 in a contest for free. The free unit I was sent came with a Spider Farmer brand driver; I looked and they have now changed their advert to market their name brand drivers. I’m assuming to cut costs. Read my prior paragraph on what I would suggest knowing that many companies (mars hydro and spider farmer included) are using name brand drivers in many cases.

It’s not far off. The hotest would be smack dab in the middle, pushing 900 ppfd is a good thing.I've had a fce-4800 for over a year and I can tell you 6-12 inches that sounds way to close. I believe in flower I had mine about 20-24 inches and it foxtailed hard. Any recommendations for me?
