Like most things they don't make em like they used to.
Like most things they don't make em like they used to.Heres a funny fact. Ed rosenthal had uv results in his book in the 90’s. Same results as today.
But that humidity at night... Something to keep an eye on. Gorgeous looking plants though looks like this is dialed right in. So nice to see plants not over fed.
Cause mars is well.... I'll let someone else take a kick at that. They are a sponsor so.So in 12 pages of replies I’m sure these have been mentioned, but I just got my second Spider Farmer SF 4000 yesterday. I also have a Mars Hydrp SP 250 for my Veg closet.
When my plants go from Veg under Mars Hydro to Flower under Spider Farmer they accelerate in growth even before the 12/12 flip.
I’m not sure why, but their a little cheaper on eBay than Amazon, I paid $549 shipped for a 6’x6’ Veg or 5’x5’ Flower they also sell a SF 2000 about half the price. Spider farmer has the Samsung leds and dimmable meanwell drivers. I’m extremely happy. Good luck
Here’s the link. They’ve been reviewed by several reputable people on YouTube. I’m an amateur, but I think there awesome for the price. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/233392237445
Did the digi meters come with drivers or boards? Or separate purchase?Why you so angry bro, always so angry. I promise you get yourself some quantum boards and you won’t be angry anymore
it’s not that bad
My current state. Using air at 70degf , 65%H as my draw.

I was trying to read through this whole thread before posting, but I’m fading quick.
Check out the Spider Farmer SF-1000 lights. Meanwell drivers, LM301B diodes. Seems like similar spectrum and output to Kingbrite. Very well built. Clean and easy. Available on Amazon. Get it in two days.
Just started my first ever indoor grow with them. how they do in flower is tbd, but from all the research I did, seems to be comparable to the kingbrite.
worth checking out at least
They are the same. But almost twice the price. Kingbrite 240w with lm301b and mean well driver $200 canadian shipped to my door.
Sf1000, 105w with lm301b and meanwell driver $200 canadian shipped to my door.
So yeah, actually more than twice the price, 105w vrs 240w same cost. No brainer.
Let me know how ya like the light I was considering for a time changing but decided against it. It will be less efficient but should have good even coverage and you can fiddle with spectrum? correct? Personally I feed its a downgrade in some areas and improvement in others. This light makes its stand out quality to the market on the lenses they use. Do you happen to know the diodes and drivers used? I guess i could just ask Brent since he is on the forum but maybe you know?With the China qb boards like on Alibaba you have to be very careful and read and ask questions such as with new products like the 301h diodes but they will be 301b actually they just put it in there to get ignorant and newbies and they will show up on searches people make and get you that way...So buyer beware also keep in mind if there is a issue there is a good chance it won't get fixed...And there's a high chance they didn't use top bin quality diodes ..Which is why you get thermal runaway, burn thru ,etc with cheap diodes that volts are off etc...Which they also don't like to shut off all the way too which u need to be careful of...
I like strips better than boards and wish I would of gotten strips instead but will be upgrading from my hlg to scynce led and cannot wait hopefully I'll have them by Xmas ....
Gotcha. I realized that. I just read a part of this extensive thread where the integrity and sketch factor of Alibaba was called out . I had a rough experience with the alibaba/kingbrite route myself and just decided to pay for the peace of mind and get my grow started ASAP.
Thought it might be an option for you, but it seems like your brain is already made up
Search and enjoy friend
✌
