Great video pal. Very informative. Another factor that is very important is light distribution. I have a maxisun pb4000 and a spider farmer sf1000. Both are great lights. I use the sf to start smaller plants and decided to try the pb4000 to take over and finish them in the 4x4. Results thus far are comparable to my 600w hps that it replaced. My only gripe is the uneven distribution of light. It is listed as being able to cover a 4x4 area yet and it does, but there is about a 20k lux difference between plants at the edge and the ones in the middle. The result? Plants on the perimeter are doing fantastic, but the one directly in the center is light stressed as hell. I am considering purchasing another sf1000 and using the 2 sf1000 instead of the one maxisun or getting away from quantum board led and using one of the led systems that branches out for more even light distribution.
I've purchased one of the newer SF1000, with the seperate hardwired dimmer. The amount of heat it produces is completely negligible, while the convenience of having everything directly attached makes set up and expansion much simpler. Keeping in mind, in most circumstances, the grow area will have some form of air movement that should be indirectly assisting with the cooling of the drivers.
I just bought the Spider Farmer SF2000 for my 2x4 tent. IT ABSOLUTELY CRUSHES! The coverage is almost perfect. Outside edges, par drops off a bit but nothing too drastic. For $300 you get Samsung 301b's and a Meanwell Driver. YOU CAN'T GET MUCH BETTER THAN THAT! Oh, and the NEW line of Spider Farmer LED's all have dimmers and daisy chain inputs! I'm telling you guys, go with any of the Spider Farmer LED's and you won't be disappointed! Happy Growing Friends! Great Video. ✌🏻💨😤..........🤯

Cheers mate! I just got a SF and I grow asian vegetables inside to keep them away from all the bugs outside (dont like using chemicals on them) It's a great little affordable light.
I'd be really interested in an experiment about usage of non-dedicated growlights. I own a set of LED video lights, these are optimized to have a full spectrum to achive a good colorization. The Diodes look the same, it's just a blue LED with the usual phosphoric coating. Can they be used, too? It is so difficult to assess this with LED without a spectrum analyzer, which is more expesive that the biggest growlight.

New subscriber, loving the videos. As mentioned with the cooling fan, you can buy very cheap brushless computer fans and marry them to a small solar panel. Both of those are on ebay for only a few dollars each. :)
Cheers mate! Yeah I just run a small fan blowing over the lights which doubles as air circulation in the grow area. It also means you can get the lights real close to the plants and circumvent the inverse square law.

Excellent light but FYI not for indoor greenhouse use. Had one set up an a small 2x2x5 greenhouse. Raised the internal temp to 105f in the first hour and half.

Thanks for this great video tutorial I am currently setting up a greenhouse and I am looking into supplemental light over winter as I am concerned I will not get enough light to get good results growing tomato, cucumbers and peppers with just the sun on the greenhouse (would have put in a better spot but this was the only spot in our residential backyard) Only getting 4-5 hours of sun on the greenhouse (that is currently and I know the trajectory of the sun will change over winter so this may be even less when the sun is lower in the sky). Would one or two of these lights provide adequate supplemental lighting? The greenhouse is 4m x 2m and I will be growing the above vegetables in a dutch bucket system.
Janine Koczwara if it’s just to supplement you will probably get away with one light per meter along the length. Probably minimum 3 lights. I’d go for the 150W mars hydro just to give you that little extra output. Then run the lights however many hours before sun up you want to extend the day overlapping an hour into the light.
Janine Koczwara just my 2 cents but I would suggest using CMH (ceramic metal halide) lighting for a greenhouse situation for several reasons. Mainly and most importantly though for the fact that they can be hung up at the top of your greenhouse and not having to be hung right over the canopy of your crop. You’ll also get much better coverage with a significantly larger footprint. You can find a very good quality CMH light on Amazon for under $150 and they’re very efficient at 315 watts. Best of luck and happy growing!
I wonder how you can call grow lights starting at ~$100 for 'budget'?... 5m LED strips w. 300 grow light LEDs can be bought for $20. Mount them on something flat and hang it up.

The Art of Banana I can only speak from my experience and the mars hydro has been great so far. I can’t see it being a fire hazard anymore than any other light I’ve used. And if you’re going for value it gives better value than the spiderfarmer if you’re looking at purely cost price outlay.

Because I use the iced tea bottles to store my whiskey.
do you have any information about durability of the units? i read the mars hydro fail often and the driver may be a fire hazard which sounds not good but i want to detach it from the light so it may not be a problem? also i dont want to buy a spider farmer because you cant detach the driver and i think i need the dim feature, but the rest sounds better about it. dont want to spend a lot of money tough, just starting into hydroponics. also does the metal hood really has any benefit concerning light direction like mars hydro claims over the plain one the spider farmer has?
The Art of Banana I can only speak from my experience and the mars hydro has been great so far. I can’t see it being a fire hazard anymore than any other light I’ve used. And if you’re going for value it gives better value than the spiderfarmer if you’re looking at purely cost price outlay.
You can always splice the wire and make them longer... May void the warranty
i am of the belief that photosynthetic active radiation (PAR) is the most important factor in selecting a light for horticultural use
FleshWound42 absolutely, I have just invested in an apogee par meter with the latest sensor so I can do a proper review of the lights. It’s in the mail, so soon I will have a par test video.
Mars has better par
You should also learn the term heatsink. Heat Sync was a 90's boy band :D Good video though.
Ancient_Gamer awe man, I’m kicking myself over the pronunciation of efficacy. CBF filming it again though. So it’ll do. Hahah
