Guys, I been a HPS grower my whole life but want to switch to LED. I got a 7x7 feet area or 2x2 meters I want to cover with light. What would u recommend, I want to invest around 1000$. Was looking at the the spider farmer and mars hydro lights but spiderfarmer seems to draw less watts which is important for me

Or make that 6x6 feet. If i was to use HPS i be looking at about 4x400w HPS meaning 1600w but i know it would be much less with LED

Personally, I would take the Spider Farmer over Mars..(They are Meizhi) BUT........

Read here..we just got finished helping a few HPS guys buy some LEDs direct from China.

In a 7x7 you would need like 1800w of led.

Something like 6 of these:

Or 4 of these (better):

3400ma? If I accidentally turn it all the way up will it blow the board?
sry I was busy..

I was told not to worry so much with ma..........
I was told to worry about the w and c

so if i want to run

3 x 20w far reds = 60
2 x 90 w 2700k strips = 180
240w @ 24V.......

so I need a driver to push that........
so if I run a Driver pushing 180w 24v@3400 the 3400 Don't mean shit..... cause I'm not even there.....

Now If I'm wrong PLEASE Info me..... Cause I don't know everything ... even though I tell/act like I do

Ty man I look into it! The only thing I dont like about it is I would be drawing more power than if i just put 4x 400w or 3x600w hps. The whole wanting to change thing for me was I thought i would be saving on the powerdraw

im'm running my stuff maybe 65% except for the far red........

in a 7x7 I think you really could run 2 of each and have it covered.....

me I would have the extra since you said you had the money.. and set it up.. run lower... everything will last longer and if something goes out... you just turn your shit up and keep that azz rolling.................................
