Hi SF,
Love to know what is a good size light for 5*5?
Hi mate, so sorry to hear that. Could you plz kindly give us more details? so that we can help you figure it outSorry, computer isn't my first language. I couldn't figure out how to add text to the photos in a post. The first 3 photos are the kush with early browning under LED at 5 weeks, 2 days. The last photo is blue dream haze on the same day. I'm an LED newbie. Spider Farmer lights seem to cause early maturation compared to HPS. My fear is that this early reddening is limiting the potential of the plants. Maybe the nutrient is too strong?
Not sure if you want me to answer this bit 2sf 2000 is 400w and will do a 4x4 (16sq ft.) but will be slightly underpowered.Spider Farmer, what I would REALLY like you to do to help me is to answer the question I've asked so many times, by email, and on forums. The question is:
Why do 2 SF-2000s that draw 202 watts each cover a 4X4 area, when a single SF-4000 at 450 watts covers a 5X5 area? 2 SF-2000s have the same number of diodes as one SF-4000. Are the SF-2000s being under-driven? Is the SF-4000 being over-driven? Why can't 2 SF-2000s be turned to 225 watts each to perfectly mimic a single SF-4000 in performance, but with better light spread? I just can't get a straight answer to the EXACT questions I asked. They seem simple to me. I'll keep asking.
Different drivers.Aqua Man, yes you may be right. I'm an LED newbie, so it was hard enough to wade through the 'creative' language to figure out what light does what. But the very important question still remains- are the SF-2000s under-powered at 202W, OR is the SF-4000 overpowered at 450 watts? Anybody using these lights is not well served if the answer to this exact question is un-knowable. I'm shocked that it's this hard to get to the bottom of this, to be honest.

so there's more problems coming down the road........................Then its the way they wire them.
they can't be the same driver...... diff watts
ok now your makeing more since to me there's 2 drivers on the 4000See what I mean folks? I just keep coming back to the same place! I don't mean to be uppity, but when I want an answer, I work to get it. I will know the answer- eventually ;) They are identical drivers, I checked and re-checked. SF-4000 has 2. SF-2000 has 1. As I understand it, the longevity of LEDs is determined by heat during operation. I would say that if it is so incredibly difficult to get a straight answer from Spider Farmer on this question, I'm losing faith. Spider Farmer, will you answer my question as asked?

Ya I don't think I need this ...... I need lights but I'll be fighting these guys the whole way....................This goes back to what has been said about providing accurate info. The pic shows 2 240w drivers. So that would be 480w. The SF 2000 is 240w. The information they provide is inaccurate all over the place. Hell maybe they don't even use the drivers they claimed m idk.
I would like the answer also so I'll do a plus 1 alsoSee what I mean folks? I just keep coming back to the same place! I don't mean to be uppity, but when I want an answer, I work to get it.
