i just got the 2021 sf-4000 loving it soo much. they spread the diodes and packed them on the edge and corner so the par isn't so high in the center and higher on edge's and corners.
It's probably superb for a 4x4, but the coverage does not justify a 5x5 in flower. The high center par always sounds great but you would rather have ~800 evenly than 1700 in the center and 50 in the corners. That's why I would recommend to go with the spider design that use these slim, long bars instead of the boards.
I am really curious about those new lights as well, going to see if I can get ahold of one of those soon to test out =) Would be great to be able to compare the SF-7000 versus the SE-7000 and see how the light spread compares.
I agree, IMO this light is obsolete. The 4 panels are just two close to each other. If you could spread them out maybe it could still be competitive but as is I could never recommend it. The SE version would make way more sense.
It is a beast! The crazy thing with this one is UPS actually delivered it to some business here in Eugene, and I had to fight them to get it delivered to us =) They eventually found it though and we finally got it here.
Hey there and since I´m this early i´d like to notify you about a typing mistake you have made. At 6:32 for the Height of 24 Inches the third box from the middle shows a Par value of 7453. I´m sure that this minor mistake does notharm the video in any way since you and this whole channel is easily my favorite YT channel to watch and your covarage of topics is well rounded and I think everyone can find something to learn here
Haha nice! I am not surprised that I missed a mistake on the light levels, I am punching in a pile of info onto those sheets, and this time I had to remake the entire thing as I lost the last template when my hard drive died. Ah well, thanks for pointing it out =) I am going to be re-doing all of the Spider Farmer light reviews soon, and will probably get some wrong on there as well =)
Absolutely. There is a reason that our first indoor grows were using the cheapest blurpies that I could get my hands on. Everyone has to decide what works best in their situation, and thankfully there are a ton of options out there at different price points.
I've got 2 SF 4000s and I'm getting ready to upgrade and after seeing this I know it's NOT going to be another Spiderfarmer. This light is not that much bigger in size...I'm going with mars hydro FC 6500 it a bigger light 44"×44" and has way many more diodes. I'm disappointed Spiderfarmer couldn't come up with a better design
It is nice to have, and all new ones that you buy should have them. Also, they have revamped it for 2022, and the leds are now bunched up more around the edges to help with light spread.
Awesome 👋🏻😎 But I just want to get my seeds germinated,veg and outside. Even with autos,after,I want zero electric bill. Grinspoon is a different story
very good info, great vid! thank you! i have made a couple affiliate sales for spider farmer. its been 2+ months i've been waiting for them to send payment. have they ever sent you payment yet or? i love spider farmer hardware, i just wish they had an english person answering emails.
I have not had any issues with them as of late, though we don't communicate super often just every couple of weeks. They have been fairly responsive lately as we just did a giveaway. Just keep trying your contact and see if you can get thru? Wish I had a better answer for you.
I cant go into specifics of what out setup is with them, but we have not had any issues, I would assume though that we probably have a different contact within the company.
I just picked up a couple of larger tents so that I can test these lights inside of an actual tent. With the physical dimensions of the light, I can see how it would have a lot of fall off at the edges though.
The thing that I really like about these larger lights with dimmers is that you can grow into it as time progresses. I am going to do a follow up video about the light levels in different sized tents as soon as I can get the larger grow tents here to test it in =)
I hope it happens for you soon! We have actually had some sunshine here in Oregon this week, it felt like summer over the weekend. I actually ended up with a bit of a sunburn after being outside =)
Getting my first light tomorrow but I want to get something that I won’t need to upgrade, I’m starting with 6 plants and eventually going to 12. Will this thing be overkill for 6 plants or just right?
Really what matters more is the grow space you need to cover. You can squeeze 6 plants into a 2x2 tent if they are small. What is your tent or room size that you are trying to cover?
@@TheHippieGeeks wow never got a notification u replied glad I stumbled back on this video haha, I wanted to get a 6x6 tent since the light covers 6x6 but not having best of luck so think I’m going with a 5x5 tent
Not with this light immediately, we are coming up on summer here and we only run indoor during the winter because I dont want to have to air condition the garage =) In the fall we will be using this light for sure though. We have a couple of more things planned after the current grow series finish up, including this years outdoor grow which I am really excited about =)
The light levels are really amazing, and I love that the dimmer makes it usable by just about anyone at whatever stage your plants are at. Not to mention its green =D
@@TheHippieGeeks brooo, thanks for the reply. Yes, I did order it and I will be dimming it lil by lil as it grows. Thanks again for the reply and advice.
Hello I tried purchasing an SE7000 but the company is not responding nor there is a phone number they can be reached on. I have the feeling this is some Hoax company pretending to be in America and Europe but actually they are from and based in Shenzhen. I am scared to buy from this company. Hopefully anyone has some more information about Spider Farm and their reliability as their customer service so far seems far below averatge.
Where are you trying to buy from? They are definitely a real company, and a lot of folks have used them for years now. If you are worried about getting scammed, buy from Amazon as their return policy is pretty solid.
On Gleam, click on one of the icons that it says to log in with, it needs to be linked with one of the social media options that are under there. Once linked up you should be able to complete all of the contest entries.
Prices are redic. Lots of videos on making your own. I have the SF 1000 and disappointed that I bought it. Should have saved for a light that will bud a plant.
A lot of folks aren't comfortable with that, and that is fine. I think it is great that there are so many options out there for lighting that everyone can choose from. A person can build their own, buy something from another company, or go with a Spider Farmer light ... there are different options at different price points, and I think that is great.
@@TheHippieGeeks may I ask a question please? If 2 plants are in veg, that are 10in he different in size, can you hang the light on an angle for a long period of time???👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺🇦🇺😊
@@TheHippieGeeks just received the light today .It came with the inventronics driver .my buddy got one and it came when th a different driver .I just can't remember the name .I wonder what's the difference
I tend to not call out the winners, as I do not want to draw attention to them that they do not want. They are welcome to speak up themselves though if they really want to =) I will say that this time the prize is going to England =)
No, it is going to be too deep to fit in there. Look at at the ViparSpectra P4000. We will be doing a grow in the future with the Spider Farmer tent and the P4000, and I think it is going to fit really well.
@@TheHippieGeeks pardon my ignorance;as I'm new to this...but when you say "too deep" do you mean it will hang too low? I ask because the light is about 29inx22-23in so I thought it wouldn't touch the sides of the tent
You are right, I was thinking of the SE-7000 bar style light, not the SF-7000 board style light. This fixture will fit in there, but the light spread is more set up for a square tent so you will have a lot of the light focused in the center of the tent, with less on the left and right sides of the tent. You will get better coverage using a pair of SF-2000 lights which we have done in the past, or a single rectangular light like the P2000. It just vides you a more even coverage across the entire canopy.

Well, as long as both of you are happy with the purchase then its a win for everyone!
Looks like a beast light! Cant wait too see how it performs!

Thanks for watching!
Just picked up 1 today friends uncle bought it last year. He passed away and friend got it ,sold to me for $250. See if its worth it i guess
It is a very solid light, especially for that price. What size grow space are you planning on using it in?
Its over 3 in the center of a 4x8 at the moment
I noticed some of the reviews of the SF7000 have a UV light per square (4 total), and some don't. Do you think that matters much?
It is nice to have, and all new ones that you buy should have them. Also, they have revamped it for 2022, and the leds are now bunched up more around the edges to help with light spread.
Awesome 👋🏻😎 But I just want to get my seeds germinated,veg and outside. Even with autos,after,I want zero electric bill.
Grinspoon is a different story
I completely agree, we love outdoor and cant wait for it to get going =) Indoor is fun, but it doesnt hold a candle to outdoor growing.
Didn’t they switched led? Is not Samsung 301 no more right on the sf7000
That is a good question, I didn't see any info on the LED's used. Let me look and see if I can find anything.
Its greeeeeen
Heck yes it is!

Does this light get super hot in the tent
Just don't rely on it to light a 5x5 because it won't. Had to buy another $500 light to fill the space
I just picked up a couple of larger tents so that I can test these lights inside of an actual tent. With the physical dimensions of the light, I can see how it would have a lot of fall off at the edges though.
@@TheHippieGeeks about 1.2 ft on two sides, yup
Its going to be overkill but it's worth it...💡💡💡

His, Would this replace a 600watt hps with similar or better results ? Thank you.
I need some answers I just bought this light off amazon and it had a different driver. Mine says MOSO on it
I have heard that they are using a couple of different drivers, they should be very similar though.
Compare with SE7000, which one is better?thanks
I like the SE7000 personally :)
Can't seem to get in on it ..
You need to log into gleam itself before the options will pop up.
I have found the spectrum is not as good as the sf4000 - buds do not get big 👀
Interesting! I haven't had a chance to grow with this one yet but am really looking forward to it. What were you growing with these results?
Does this mean a new grow?
Not with this light immediately, we are coming up on summer here and we only run indoor during the winter because I dont want to have to air condition the garage =) In the fall we will be using this light for sure though. We have a couple of more things planned after the current grow series finish up, including this years outdoor grow which I am really excited about =)
Spider farmer tents kick ass so i bet the light kills it for growth in a big tent.

happy 4/20 :)
Same to you!
Do you think this would be overkill for a 4x4 tent?
I dont think there is such a thing as overkill. If you can afford it, I like putting larger lights in tents and then running them dimmed.

can i use this ligth in a 120x120x200??
Yes, you can use this light in that size of tent and get a pretty good light spread.
hmmmm wonder if I could shove this thing in a 2x2 lol
At an angle, yes =) The 29" width keeps that from happening unfortunately, though if you could find like a 30"x30" tent you could squeeze it in there.
I have mine in a 2x4 😅
Squeezed it in there, that is a terrifying amount of light for a 2x4 tent lol =)

Not at all, I prefer to overlight a tent. That way you can run it dimmed and extend the life of the light =)
Any promo code for Amazon!!???
Unfortunately there is no code for Amazon, just their website.
Nice I could use that
I think that this light could work out well for a lot of folks in a lot of different sized tents.
Yea I agree everyone could benefit from a light like that
