Seen nothing but good results on youtube of this light...it covers better than u think
Been growing since the 90s & was always anti LED ( had Gavita se600s & loved them) but bought my first LED that was the SF2000- I then bought the 4000 ( which I put in a 120x120) then they bought out these with dimmers - I must say its only uses for flower but it's saved me nearly what it cost in lamps over these 2 years - best light ive ever bought even now its old tech im still happy with it what 27 months later
3X3 is the best footprint for flower.
Even with that the edges are not optimal. This is assuming your looking to get around 1000 on the PAR meter.
You can probably do better than that with reflective sheeting on all sides so you probably could push it to a 4x4 if needed.
Don't let that dissuade you from a spiderfarmer though. Its an amazing light and very well priced.
I would not recommend any other light.
I just bought mine 2 weeks ago.WOW WHAT A LIGHT. I was using 4 viparspectra light's for 45 days in veg in a 4X8 tent. The growth I seen in 2 weeks is over 2 feet in in flower WOW.
Spider 🕷 Farmer makes a great light and I’m a huge fan, as you can tell lol
I know it is for 4X4 but I use 2 viparspectra light's on the outside with the SF 4000 in the middle.GREAT LIGHT
You run 3 lights in a 4x4?
@@mrmighty9862 now I have 2 different spider farmer lights the 4000 and the 5800 I rotate my plants on the spectrum UNTIL 12-12 AIR FLOW IS A MUST o yeah I twist my stalks (branches) and tie them down during veg state GROW TO KNOW
I’m running these lights right now and from my experience I can you if you’re just growing for yourself a it’s a great light but if you’re doings commercial growing you will need to get those bars led for better light coverage because the light spread on these quantum board just sucks
I think these lights would work well in tents because of the 4 reflective sides, but you are right. There's a hot spot under the light, and not enough light on the peripheries. 2 SF-2000s would work better. BUT, the way they describe the wattages is ambiguous. One SF-4000 at 100% is 450 watts at the wall. Two SF-2000s at 100% = 400 watts at the wall. Is the SF-4000 being over-driven, or are the SF-2000s being under-driven? The SF-4000 has the identical LEDs and drivers to the SF-2000. Spider Farmer's answers about this have been as clear as mud. I have been unable to get a direct, logical answer to this question that has been asked many times.
All that said: I would never buy another SF-4000. It would be a MUCH better light if they put a few cents worth of more aluminum, and made a space with 2 quantum boards on either side, like HLG does. I have concerns about the longevity of the diodes in the SF-4000, for the reasons noted above.
Now, I'm running Mixjoy, Mars Hydro, and Spider Farmer. In apples to apples comparisons, they all seem to perform similarly. The Mixjoy has less diodes for less money, and runs hot. The Mars Hydro SP-3000s are nice and long, but too skinny, and the 'UV' seems to be just decoration ;) They run very cool though. The Spider Farmer SF-2000s are OK in width, but too short. Now, I'm getting a Viparspectra P-4000 that has good length and width, and ignoring their claim that it covers a 5X5 area. I'd use 2, and adjust the dimmer if necessary. These 'cheap' lights are expensive, and not everybody can afford to compare them for themselves. I'm grateful for videos like this, and want to do my part as a consumer, to aid in our search for the ultimate 'economy' LED light ;) I'll keep looking :)
@@hydroponichomesteader6852 , yes, I'm in the expensive part of the learning curve myself. I don't know what you mean by "big lights". An area like that, if full, would use 4 1000 watt HID lamps to get good coverage. The lights are cheap but way too much heat and electrical consumption. It seems that the '50% energy savings compared to HID' is a bit of an exaggeration. The GOOD coverage area is smaller than the STATED coverage area, in most cases, but that applies to flower only. The veg coverage claims of the lights I've bought are reasonable, for the lights I've tried. The main problem with LED lighting is the penetration of the light. To grow thick buds, high intensity is needed. The lights deliver the energy in a very flat way, so a flat plant canopy would take best advantage. That's a tall order ;) Also, as a fellow LED newbie, I think the lights need to be suited to the grow space. A 10 X10' space is a bad shape, and size, I think. I think the LED lights are working well for a lot of small growers because they use a tent with 4 reflective sides, and mount the fans up above. In a 10 X 10, how are you going to space the lights, locate the fans, and have any room to work? People access their plants from both sides with tents. I bought one, but I haven't tried it yet.
@@pursaveer9027 man for the price nothing compares to the Growers Choice ROIE720... Maximum coverage in a 4x4 area!
@@NoemadZ. lie
@@totobeni DO YOU HAVE ONE???
I’d rather run two SF2000 than one SF4000. Better light distribution and ideal for 4’ x 4’. You pay more, but performance and results are better.
Can anyone help do the LEDs stay on slightly when the light is turned off? I noticed that not sure if it’s a low spectrum if so will affect flowering? Can anyone help thank you
No they shouldn’t. That would contradict the point of the light. What brand did you buy?
the reason I am pissed as I have two of these lights is I do not have the dimmer and I dont see it as a add-on to be purchased. i am happy to pay the extra to purchase it. have just purchased it not even a year ago does not make me happy.
@Ron Redmond. Buddy I got 4 of these lights there amazing my favorite lights okay so I have 2 new versions and 2 old versionS. The older versions have the dimmer under the meanwell drivers !!! You have to unscrew the meanwell drivers. And there it is!!! You have to use and small small small fly head screwdriver to turn it brighter.
They come with a dimmer, just harder to access as comment above states
I've got 2 of these myself and the dimmer is under one of the one of the drivers...you really don't need to dim it anyway if you are growing in something at least 6' tall...I run auto's all the way from seed to harvest and just put the lights all the way up in a 7' tent...I was kinda pissed about not having that updated model but you really don't need it and it's just something else that could potentially have problems...I figure the less Chinese electronics on it the better...lol
So Spider farmer is better than Mar hydro ? First timer, and getting confused to be honest..
@Living Soil & Solventless Extracts Thanks Man, Yeah I've been doing homework , trying to learn as much as I can.
Noob question for the Sf 4000 short fall in a 5x5 can i supplement 2 t5 8 bulbs on each side to make up for it.
Buy the Mars fc6500 !
in a 5x5 I would use 3 or 4 SF-2000s to get better coverage.
@@michael2305 I'm actually in a big 4x4 57"x 57" , and only a couple inches from the edge , couldn't be any better coverage and I have 4' t5 LEDs on three walls !
Thanks for the info I definitely used this info when I decided to buy one and I hope it's worth the money... can't wait lol
@Living Soil & Solventless Extracts I'm loving it so far
For better coverage you could basically just cut that thing into four pieces, make a frame and screw the panels to it and rewire the thing.
Tje light dimming is a huge plus! Anyone have a tutorial or something about the best times to dim or not for growing weed?
I'd say if you reach 24" distance and still stress your plants, dim them.
Dim when plants smol. When plants big, make light go big
All advice I've ever heard is only adjust the height, not the dimmable function.
Think about it, it's artificial light and the plants need all the light they can get. If they burn, move the light up.
Just bought mine !
its a knock off if not from spider farmer themselves
This right here is the future
This video mainly consists of the word Umm. There's a bit where one edit finishes with Umm and the next edit starts with Umm. 3:13 - 3:16
Lol
Well if you don't have anything nice to.. you know how the song goes. Should've at least balanced it out with a compliment. I mean at least taking the time to help others, so we don't end up losing. It works ya know. A bit contagious as well.
2.4m×2m×1.2m how many SF4000 i need
Would you get 4 Atreum hydra 1000
Should have created a new bar light instead of just putting four thousands together , way better coverage !
What if I put a Spider Farmer SF4000 and an SF2000 together in a 5x5 tent at $800 for both.
Would I get Same or better uniformity of light throughout the 5x5 space than using (1) HLG Scorpion Diablo at $1,400. That’s a $600 savings.
Also Taking into consideration spider farmer is good for Veg and flower.
What did you go with?
GeekBeast Pro 630W
Buy 4 of their 1000 units and then you’ll have every model they sale ,,,I did that with Famurs ,, I bought four of their TF1200 led lights ,,,,,and look at the specs when you buy two units now it uses 200 plus watts then but the 3000 model now you’ll have three of their units using 300 plus wattage ,,,then the 4000 four units put together now using 400 plus watts,,,
So do yourself a favor wait till their 1000 -1200 units go on sale for half price and buy four 1000-1200 or even a 1500
But I believe everyone is done with making the 1500 it’s either a 1000 or 1200 watt light using 90-150 watts
Do you still need to cool the cool the tent with AC with the spider farm?
Have an intake you'll be good
It depends on your situation, if your room is already hot you might need an AC. If your have a cooler room let’s say in a basement, an proper inline fan should work.
nice table ! juniper or cedar ?
Look yeah it’s a huge light ,,,,but you can get better results by four of their 1000 lights and evenly spacing them in a 4x4 tent ,,
what is a better light sf4000 or Hlg 600r? thanks
@@georgepetron1572 thank you
I have 2 hlg 600s. I'm probably getting 4 more, the results I'm getting are outstanding. I'll never go back to HPS bulbs
@@miikesnow50 are they that much better? Trying to make my mind up between lights. Every time I feel I'm convinced on a light..a comment like yours just throws it all back up in the air.
@@DavidfromMichigan after more experience, my opinion has changed a bit.
The buds get bigger under HPS.
Using LEDs for the first 4 to 5 weeks of bloom, and then finishing the rest with HPS has been more successful and cheaper on the electric bill.
If you have the money, LEDS are fun to use, but HPS 1000w is still more better than the hlg 600w from what I've observed so far.
Anybody got a prob with the on off switch. Won't turn off.
The dimmer is probably on...turn them both off.
What'd you say I fell a sleep
Till now I only have bad experiences with Spider Farmer, their prices constantly change and customer service doesn't even know their own prices. They seem a very unreliable company so far. I am scared to buy their products. If anything goes wrong I have to deal with their customer service?
U have to put 2 in a 5x5 . Add a 2000 in a 4x4
Not really budget friendly these SF 4000 lights run about 600$ thats not budget friendly at all thats someone's rent money
Can these lights run on 220
Did you find out I'm curious as well?
Just cut it in 4 pieces for better spread.
I here a lot about quantity but nothing about quality of final product.
Will this work.in.a 7x7 room?
You’d need one per 4x4 or 5x5 area.
In a 8x8, youd run 4 of these lights. If you do this in your 7x7, it will only benefit you. Just know, these run 550 bucks each.
Do these lights daisy chain?
Yes 👍🏼
GOT IT OUT OF CANADA WAS SOLD OUT IN US UK
Not true. I ordered 2 of them off Amazon 3 days ago.
@@koryrichey2443 you pre orderd no stock
@@bobrankin6048 nope. Not a preorder. In stock, already shipped. Arrives Wednesday. I ordered two.
Highly advise anyone thinking about ordering from growbuds to stay away (spider farmer lights kick-ass), I thought I was getting a great deal when I ordered my sf 4000s. It ended up taking 7 weeks even though I was told four separate times that they would ship, and then they didn't. They finally shipped them after I told them I was sorry but couldn't wait any longer and needed a refund. Ended up pushing back my harvest 2-3 weeks, took a major L ordering from here instead of a more reputable company or spider farmer directly.
mine came in 5 days back in October, i heard that they ran out after that for awhile so thats probably what happen to you
Dropshipping
💯🔥👌👍☝️
reviw without using them to grow? zzzzzzz
Are you on the fence about this light?
I own 4 of them.
Great fixtures,
What's your current?
Which others were you thinking about purchasing?
Have you already made a purchase of this sf4000, or any other light?
@@TheWeen89just bought 4x4 tent are this lights good for veg and flower?
With a grain of salt alright 100,000 hrs LOL
💚💚💚👍#1luv4dabud
