Spider Farmer SF1000 kit review!

[Dwcmagic]

So the felt pot was really getting to me, I transplanted it in to a standard 3 gal pot. While I was at it I went ahead and added the fan and brought everything up a little higher to make watering easier.

Those are beautiful. Looks like we're about the same stage. Im not the only one with short bushy plants. I found that inside the tent that you can run the lights a little higher because of the reflective surfaces. I wanted a little more stretch out of mime so i raised the light to 24", it was noticable overnight. Once they get a little heavier into flower i will pull them back down to around 12". Im just a huge fan of dwc, mever tried soil indoors. Does it produce better? Or is it cheaper? I see alot of tent/soil grows

Is that an led? Whys it so far away? Does it get really hot?

The spider famer led isnt really hot. I can pull mine to 12 inches with no worry, probly less but never tried

Its 12 inches away..... this is as close as you're supposed to run this fixture.
It's not far away, it's as close as it can be.

This light is 12” from the plant? How tall is the tent?

This one looks closer, I guess I thought the tent was taller in the first pic . Looks great!!

In that picture the fixture was lifted cause I was working in the tent. Read a few posts in the thread, I explain it. Thanks.

The sf1000 really takes a dip on the edges.
gotta keep it at the right level for the canopy.
he’s doing it right.

The WW is looking good, I feel much better with new pot and setup. Though I may need to lower the plant if I run out if headroom.

What height is that?

I was wondering what the driver temperature on the sf1000 is? No one at sf will answer my questions.

I'll take some measurements when I get home it's not hot though. It's not uncomfortable to keep your hand on. The driver is a bit hotter than the heatsink.

I could probably put the temp gun on it for you. but I do run fans over all the drivers.

That would be great.

 

[Mr.GreenthumbOG]

I’m grateful for the heat, if I was to run in the warm season, the SF ability to simply relocate the drivers out of the space is a plus.

Do they include a extra long power cable from driver to light?

 

[Mr.GreenthumbOG]

No, but plenty of videos on YouTube. How to do it.
my concern would be voiding warranty, but after the limited warranty expires, I would if needed.

Did you check the driver temp?

 

[Mr.GreenthumbOG]

Did you check the driver temp?

Drivers on sf4000 at 85.9f
Keep In mind. That’s with a fan. They will get up over 100f otherwise.

 

[growsince79]

Thats incredible. My 100w hlg is 115f with a fan blasting directly on it. You might want to calibrate your thermometer, it cant be right.
