To anyone I ever reccomended Spider Farmer to...

[Airwalker16]

Hey y'all.
I just wanted to update my current Amazonian reccomendation. For a few months now, I've suggested Spider Farmers SF1000/2000/3000 models to people. Although I never used them, they had good diodes in them. Later, I found out they're Meizhi and have had a less than good reputation with warranty, communication, and overall customer care. People seem to be happy with their fixtures CURRENTLY though as this was back when they were dealing in Monochrome Blurple Slug Based diode Fixtures.

But NOW...

FISSIONING who sent me their boards to test MONTHS ago, now have FINALLY released their new 3500K LM301B 54V board with added Osram 660/730nm reds.
I've used these boards for 2 runs now. They are hands down, thee best spread I have seen from a board. The tight clusters of diodes on the corners is so smart.
Anyways. Not a shill, just want to be clear that I HAVE USED and OWN THESE BOARDS and I would highly suggest getting them. They're absolutely great. Just look at the damn PAR maps on their second picture.

My Boards:

I wish all new growers would start with something like this over a blurple.

Well, to be honest it still baffles me how many people come on here asking if a 75dollar fixture on 4mazon that's Blurple as can be is a good light. Hopefully, white based LEDs being the powerhouse will be common knowledge soon.

well I like boards but the spread is where the get me I like strips much better imho I stopped caring for mars when I didn't need a veg light only but those boards look nice doe

I'm in the market for a new light myself , came damn close to buying the spider farmer 2000 yesterday . I need something for flowering in 2'x4' area. I kinda like that 240r light. I need something that hits my lower buds better , been getting too much "larf" lately. I have 2 of these ( Yueme 1500W LED Grow Light Full Spectrum) and one VIPARSPECTRA 450W LE ..I need to stop buying lights and find one that just works .

Use those Yuemi pos lights for side lighting and get yourself the boards for above lighting. How bigs your space?

My flower cabinet is 2 x 4 ft by 6 ft. I had 3 of those viparspectra 450w they did ok ...then one stopped working and the other is dying. I bought those yuemi because they were cob lights and I thought they were pretty good . I just want a light that will work and I finally have the cash to get a nice light. I want thick buds not ....airy shitty buds

Okay. The 240R will be killer in a 2x4 bro. And those other ones you can put at the 2' sides for that under canopy side lighting.

Thanks Airwalker16 ! You might have just saved me from buying more shitty lights ..lol

It's just lack of knowledge mate, sometimes cost.
I'm actively looking for more up to date LED lights right now but certainly no light expert as such. Knowing which way to go is half the battle

For a few months now, I've suggested Spider Farmers SF1000/2000/3000 models to people. Although I never used them, they had good diodes in them.

All the stickies are old.
A new 2020 sticky should be created and the 1st sentence should say.
Take pictures in natural lighting when posting pictures!

Unfortunately, carpetbagger led companies play off the ignorance of light nubes. As usual, If something sounds to good to e true, it probably is
