just got to this thread after ordering a spiderfarm SF-1000 LED . so many numbers and so much math for a guy like me. i need light to get away some purple stuff i have, that by the way has been 'great thus far' but in wanting to max my grows and up my game i wanted the white full spec you guys talk about for a second tent that will be flower only starting on monday. i really appreciate all the information and reasons behind those flying numbers matter so much. i still don't get it, but i get what i need !!

You forgot the 351h they usually use for the far red too...And inventronics drivers are the shit..Just make sure you get b series drivers instead of a series..b series you can do a lot more with like dimming timers u name it just need a pot and pwm and done deal...Well two things you need to know, samsung lm301b and h LEDs are the very best LED on the market right now. With an efficiency almost double most other LEDs. The other is mean well drivers are the best drivers you can buy.
So whatever you get, try to make it a mean well driving samsung lm301b/h leds if you want the best light per watt.

i went with a spider farm light for those very reasons you listed. much thanks for the helpWell two things you need to know, samsung lm301b and h LEDs are the very best LED on the market right now.

It is a great deal! The light shows in stock and I ordered one from them Wednesday but saw today all the other retailers changed their listings to pre-order which makes me worry a little. Hopefully Growerslights.com comes through, and I can report back with some positive feedback. Anyone else place an order with them?Fyi stupid price on the 600 right now. https://growerslights.com/collectio...ure-lighting-group-600h-quantum-board-led-kit

Thats where I got mine and I know if 3 other growers here that have. Their commutation has gotten a bit worse from what I have heard but everyone has got their orders. One was literally a couple weeks ago so I'm pretty sure they are in stock. I would just give em a call they are or at least where when I bought mine easy to get a hold of by phone and very helpful. Email might be different.It is a great deal!

That sounds reassuring, thank you! Im looking forward to using it to replace some of the cheaper lights in my setup and seeing how it compares to my two 3000k timber 3vls.Thats where I got mine and I know if 3 other growers here that have.

Those are nice lights also imoThat sounds reassuring, thank you! Im looking forward to using it to replace some of the cheaper lights in my setup and seeing how it compares to my two 3000k timber 3vls.
Just for reference. If you are ordering a light for a full grow cycle not specifically for veg I would suggest 3000k instead of 4000k
' for full cycle go with the 3500K and for your flower room consider 3000k just got a 3500K for full cycle from Budget Led's whom recommended this for full cycle grows generally 6500K for veg and 2700 flowerHello! For a full grow cycle you suggest 3000k instead of 4000k, but what about 3500k? (3000k>3500k? or?)
best of growing -- Now the "fun" start -- Happy Cultivation 2 plant will do just fine but if you add 2 more you might have to grow A a different growing methods (scrog, suppercrop, ect) you are describing LST growingThank's for your time guys! Planning my first indoor grow.
I want to buy this light for a 2x2x5 grow tent.
Planning to go full cycle with 1-2 plants maximum, not lst/scrog or any other trainings. Can i go with 3-4 plants at this room space?
Also, idk, should i invest in those UV+IR switches, is it worth it for newbie like me?
I think its the other way around, the 3500k has more blue light which helps plants stretch and grow where the reduced blue and increased red in the 3000k results in more compact plants. I have heard that plants will stretch a lot if there is too little blue as well so to a point I think it can go both ways.3000K for full cycle and 3500 for a more compact plant they say. i would go 3000K

Its the opposite. Blue creates more compact growth, red creates more stretch. 3000k is more favored in flower and blue more in veg. I prefer 3000k as an overall light because flower is more important to me and i can control stretch in other ways like temperature manipulation.I think its the other way around, the 3500k has more blue light which helps plants stretch and grow where the reduced blue and increased red in the 3000k results in more compact plants.
