you think Two of those are a lot more better than spider farmer sf 4000? Asking because it’s about 150 bucks difference... I have a 4x4 but idk if I should save those 150 bucks or if it will make enough difference to make me go for the two hlg

Iv never used spider farmer gear but loved my HLG and would recommend them. I think they are the best bang for your buck

The factor for me the issue is shipping. Its olmost a 160 USD difference of the total price w/shipping from Spiderfarmerled vs Mars Hydro ts 3000 that ships for FREE.

@MarsHydrofactory @Spiderfarmerled

Most of bar lights on the market only for veg because of laking of too much red lights. We have new bar lights with more red leds for flower stage.

@Jmerc Might also check out the Timber Cypress 6

^Definitely can't go wrong with Timber! That one looks really nice!

I purchased a Nextlight Mini about five years ago and just got around to trying it out, currently. It sure puts out a lot of light compared to anything else I've use yet....I think there is a slightly upgraded version of the Mini now that's even better. It's priced about the same as any of the similar styled lights that use the Samsung strips -very bright and very efficient!

Not sure what you mean supplemental these are the only lights i am using and they are doing just fine by themselves. But like I said someone will come and say something different that has never tried them. The 550s are all I been using and these are pretty nice ladies for what it's worth.
Good luck on what ever you choose that area I am in is about 10'x5' those are six feet tall and are pretty good IMO...

btw its a rolling garden also not all the same age.

Hi there,

Plants look awesome , just wandering what your light hight, and light settings are that you use during the veg and flower stages.

I've currently got 2 plants, 2 weeks into Veg and I've had to mess around with light height as the plants were canoeing, lights were about 30" above canopy. Temps are between 29°c - 25°c (84 - 77F) and with just enough wind to see them dance.

I've moved the light up to 36" to try and combat the canoeing but the node spacing is about an inch and a quarter to about a inch and a half apart.

Any info relating to your growing experiences with these lights would be appreciated.

Current settings on the controller
R50, W99, B99

Thanks

I have the Lights all the way up on Flower stage 99 99 99 and have them at least 24 inches above the ladies, The light seem to do good even higher above my ladies than an HPS I've used.

Keep up the good work you on the proper way..... ) Keep me posted.

I don't use those for vegging though, but your okay at that height should be fine....
