I have this light and a ts 600 in a 2x2 with 4 plants that vegged 4 weeks in solo cups and were put in 1 gallon fabric pots..... Currently week 6 of flowering and the 2 on the vivo side are SO much bigger
I got like everything Vivosun and it works real well, def on the lower $$ level but seems like everything works well. I have the 600watt version of this light and it covers the 2 x 4 tent pretty well (for 4 plants or so, def no problem). Just gotta get a pulley system and sunglasses lol
I've had 2 vs1000 for 2 weeks now in a 2×4×5 vivosun tent and my three autos are doing quite well on the lower setting, plus they came with glasses and a pulley system.
Thanks! You'll want to check out my other channel that has grow vids then. The channel you're on now is for discussion and PAR test videos. ua-cam.com/users/MrGrowIt
Dude you are a beast and r inspiring me to starting making videos with tons of info in them thank you for all u do some of what u say goes way over my head but most I get and you’ve helped a lot in the past. Present and now. What do u use for equipment far as camera and editing goes
Thanks for your positive words! I've linked the cameras I use in the description. For editing I currently use Vegas Pro but I will be switching to Premiere Pro soon. Cheers!
I have this light. I have a king led on the other side of my 2x4 tent. This is by far the better light. It’s intensity is adjustable. The height adjustment is way better than that of the king led. I love it. I wish I had three more. I have some other blurple in my other 2x4 tent and I’m not liking it at all.
Spider farmer has two 1000 series the sf1000D and the sf1000. The 1000D is very similar to this as they use the same Samsung diodes. The regular 1000 has better diodes and a meanwell I believe and will pull around 120 from the wall. I’m debating between the regular SF1000 and the marshydro TS1000 for my 2x2. Probably overkill but it will be a huge upgrade from my current TS600 from mars. I only get about 60 from the wall so it’s hardly strong enough for flower but I’ve got it about 8-10” from my girl and she seems happy enough. But I know she could be much bigger with a better light
This Vivosun stuff is pretty good I think, I've got there Pro 3 x 3 tent with 2 Aerolight 100W and my 1 seedling is loving it at 60% and about 3 ft away with the lights 💙👌🇦🇺👍
The main appeal of this fixtures are price. A 55w cob usually costs 120€ and this gives a bigger coverage while still being a small panel , I would place two of those I guess for flowering. I am using 55w cobs but I am going to try this for a replacement, the numbers aren’t amazing but it will make the job done.
I think if you look at all round, Vivosun probably has the most comprehensive range of products to provide folks with everything needed for an indoor grow. If only their products were available in my country (South Africa).
Not bad, I'm surprised how small the light is. I recently switched to led for veg and flower I'm cooking with chilled growcraft x5 and I'm loving the switch. Have u done heat test wit chilled yet
@@rich8381 you have no idea what your talking about do some research vivosun has samsungs LATEST diodes not the lm301b, it pulls the same amount of power, its insanely bright and has a 3 mode dimmer KNOB easily accessible. Besides the spectrum on the vivosun is better for flowering anyways
@@owenrutledge7144 more like it sounds like you don't know what your talking about. The only differences in 301b and 301h is the h stands for horticulture because they are water-resistant and the lm301b are not. Other than that they are identical in performance. The top chips currently are Samsung lm301sl but for the price lm301b are the way to go.
This light is only good for seedlings and clones. It only has enough par for veg and doesn't have IR. The spectrum is more suited for veg with the 3k,6500k,660nm. This light has 20 less diodes then the sf1000w and max power is 96w from outlet. So you can see how under powered this light is compared to other. There is almost no difference in performance between lm301b and lm301h other than the h is water resistant. They don't magical produce more light with less power then the lm301b do. They are identical in performance.

You would need 4 of these in a 4x4 tent. The PPFD is not bad, but the overall useable PPF is terrible. Even for that 2x2 you had them in. I would say that this light would be a good veg light for the 2x2. Thanks Chris!
It would produce easily in a 2x2. The reading is in between spider farmer and viparspectra and is actually good if you know what those lights are producing in a 2x2. It's a 2x2 light. Not even a TS 1000 will cover 4x4
THX for your videos! hello friend I need your help. Could you give me your opinion of the LEC INNOTECH lights lower than 315w? I'm talking about LEC 150 watts. any possible comparison with it or something similar in performance? thanks I am starting to cultivate and I hardly see information about that focus.
Hey! Would be nice to know what YOU think of this light. Happy to read comments but i’m interested in your opinion since i’m subbed to your channel. An accompanying measured PAR map would be nice to compare to what the company is advertising. Personally would also love tables comparing similar budget lights ie the spider farmer, the mars and even the new migro quantum boards.
LLCool Jay surface temperature on the leaves is all that matters. No other temperature readings make any difference whatsoever for cannabis to grow. Most of these cheap lights run a bit hotter due to cheaper ballasts/drivers and the chips and circuit boards they run. All to be expected when your paying $50-200 for a budget light. If you buy any of these cheap lights and expect a “UNICORN” magic grow room you are sadly mistaken. This light and lights like it are good for clones or seedlings but that’s about where I would stop using it. Peace
LLCool Jay opinions we are all entitled to opinions. Mad? Whatever LLCool Jay (don’t think your the real one) Cheap lights are obviously going to have drivers or ballasts that run hotter then higher end products. You have no idea what I grow with so keep your mad at vivosun comments to yourself. I have several “budget” LEDs so I am talking through experience. Good luck growing and keep,trolling
LLCool Jay spider farmer aren’t cheap lights. Here in Canada the sp4000 is around $900 and they are not worth the money. Better products out there but grow with what you want. Where’s your grow pics at or videos? Seem to have all the answers must have a “unicorn” grow room every cycle you do, or your just someone who “finishes” and thinks they won.
LLCool Jay wow are you a share holder in vivosun or spider farmer? Chips aren’t different? Really? Have you heard of “Bin” for chips? Huge difference. The number is the style of chip buddy. There is different quality in the same “number” chips. Secondly you can buy pieces and build a spider farmer for half of what they charge. Spider farmer build quality is low to say the least. Any light will grow so that proves nothing. Most companies don’t tell the “whole” truth with the specs they share with consumers. Poor engineering in low budget lights since they basically are all copycats. Low cost LEDs run the drivers harder which in turn runs hotter but you can’t compare that heat source to a HPS. Radiates a totally different type of heat. Never once said budget lights won’t grow but they surely can’t compete with high end lights. Back to the chip thing..... if all cars have pirelli tires on them do they all perform the same? Not even close.
LLCool Jay any light source produces heat. The heat throwing off a HPS is extremely hot and directed away from the bulb hence why you need a larger space between plant canopy and the bulb because it will totally raise the leaf temperature! Glad you know everything. Good to see you can’t take opinions without making yourself feel your right. Dollar per watt yes budget lights are great I never said they weren’t but if you expect a cheap light to perform as well as a high end light your wrong. If you think a budget light will last as long as a high end light well your once again wrong. Since you know everything and I assume you must have some engineering schooling background along with botany degree and maybe even an HVAC ticket of some sort. You should start a company and build the cheapest lights in the world and make them perform neck and neck with the likes of high end companies. Maybe I will buy a few from you. Until then your opinion is more then welcome but if I need to be schooled it will come from a higher caliber person than you. By the way I have Phlizon LEDs and Apouno LEDs and I run MH and HPS and I also have some higher end LEDs which are a huge investment but are worth the price. Peace and happy growing, if your even a grower.
I’m about to purchase a light for my first grow. Would you recommend this one or the Sunraise 1000W LED grow light? Thank you so much! Just want to make sure I pick the right one! Going to only be 2-3 plants tops.
@@captainpeckerhead4551 what intensity do u have urs set at for the first few weeks? I'm new to all this and trying to learn as much as possible from ppl lol
Maybe a 4x4 with lettuce that needs virtually no par to grow. A lot of these cheap companies “twist” or “stretch” their reviews on power and par. Buyer be where is all I can say when it comes to any LED fixture regardless of budget brands mid range brands or high end brands. Peace
Seems like a mediocre QB I'd rather go with the SF 1000 for a couple more bucks. I got a vivosun florescent fixture for vegging ... not a bad little light
I do not disagree with these tests, but show that the light is the distance you say it is from the sensor, and show that the light is in fact COMPLETELY level. The results should not change much, but it would be more consistant testing. I understand completely level is not possible, but put bubbles on it to show.
The light distance is clearly shown in the top left corner of the screen. Confirming the light is level. Not sure what you mean by offset? You got 80 PPFD at 12"? That's very strange. Sounds like you may have a faulty meter. On a side note, I appreciate the suggestions but I actually stopped doing PAR tests over a year ago to focus on other projects. Cheers!
I’m sorry to say that I’ll never buy another one of their products ever again no matter how cheap or good the quality is. I got burned by them with a defective grow tent with a broken zipper and the worst stitching ever and all they had to do was send out another tent or give me my money back, but they kept offering anywhere from a $30-50 refund to get it fixed which wouldn’t cover much and meant I still wasn’t starting out with a new condition tent. Thanks to Amazon for stepping up to the plate, they intervened and refunded my money and probably charged Vivosun a fortune for the return shipping with Canada post. I’m low the proud owner of a Mars Hydro tent and light. Happy happy. Cheers 🇨🇦
What do you think about these measurements?
Link to VS1000 LED grow light- amzn.to/2Xz8RNP
It would make a nice light for clones or sprouts 👌
It’s not worth my money looking for a new light atm
Hey bro for a veg 2x2 is the spider farm sf1000 a better choice when it comes to par or the VS1000 your reviewing in this vid
How many of these lights would I need in a 8x4 tent ?
I have this light and a ts 600 in a 2x2 with 4 plants that vegged 4 weeks in solo cups and were put in 1 gallon fabric pots..... Currently week 6 of flowering and the 2 on the vivo side are SO much bigger
We have so many of the same things lately lol. Good stuff dude! We just gave this light out to a growmie for our last giveaway
We find your videos very educational and on point.
How was it did it work good I want to grow indoors where I can harvest peppers year round
Great video. I couldn't find any information on heat distribution. Your video nailed it. Thanks

@oweyougrams i almost did you know the internet. Then I thought about it and was like it does sound like my baby had a baby lmao
@KeithLburns 🤣🤣🤣 Indeed you're a real 🫡 one💯💯💯
They sell a 2 pack of these lights. If you hang 2 side by side do they overlap and bump up the par on the adjacent edges?
Thanks I'm not sure if this will get me through flower even tho a few ppl told me it would
will this light be able to grow 4 plants at once ?
Yes
After 2 years...did the lights still work? Did they performed well? Thanks
Thank for the Tests!
What about different power wattage? The 50, 75, 100% option and the readings on those.
I'm wondering the same thing
@raydavis4739 300-400 watt light

A 600watt light that fits in a 2x4? That doesn't exist
Can you use theses lights from seedlings to flowering
Yes but it seems to be lacking warm colors. It seems to me the cheaper LEDS are more suitable for veg. But will bud. Correct me if I'm wrong
That's about all they're good for
i just bought the vs2000 for a 2x3....is it to much for the space i have ???
Hey there. What grow light would you recommend for a meyer lemon tree? I need a way brighter light then I used last year (aspect grow light)

I love it. I wish I had three more. I have some other blurple in my other 2x4 tent and I’m not liking it at all.
Which is better, this light or the one from Spiderfarmer?
I've been trying to find the answer to the same question
Same here, so what you guys think, vs1000 or sf 1000 or ts1000?
Good Question! Same here
Update- stick to SF1000, it is the best value for money, unless you’re really rich, you may go for ts1000. Trust me on this
Spider farmer has two 1000 series the sf1000D and the sf1000. The 1000D is very similar to this as they use the same Samsung diodes.

Whats it read with 2 lights in one tent?
what light you think us best nie adays as so much comes out daily
Can you compare this to the marshydro sp3000
Should I go hps 1000 or 600? I can't afford the big led yet. 4x4 tent 5 plants
Thanks for the video it is very appreciated
I think if you look at all round, Vivosun probably has the most comprehensive range of products to provide folks with everything needed for an indoor grow. If only their products were available in my country (South Africa).

More than enough. Over 400 watts ? Yes that’s 100 watts a foot
My plant light's electric cable gets real hot! What should I do?
Not bad, I'm surprised how small the light is. I recently switched to led for veg and flower I'm cooking with chilled growcraft x5 and I'm loving the switch. Have u done heat test wit chilled yet
