Opinion about growlight AC Infinity vs Spider Farmer kit.

Yatko · 2025-01-21T12:06:40-0700

So I found a dealer who can sell me a kit of AC infinity in EUROPE, everything was cool until I researched their GROWLIGHTS (5x5FT)
(Ion frame Evo 8

) Is it okay for a pepper grower like me?

It is either a 5x5 KIT Ac infinity or Spider farmer Kit 5x5 (Which includes a 1000w light vs Ac infinity 730w)

I will not completely grow everything in a tent but also outside.

Thanks for reading!!

I personally prefer AC Infinity. I haven't used anything spider but from what I can see, spider and Mars keep copying ACI. Lol, it's just a matter of time before they copy the Terraform.
But as far as lights go, you can't go wrong with the Evo8 in a 5x5. I just bought 3 of the Evo6 and picked up (3) 4 bar S16 Ionbeam kits to go on each. I already received my Terraform that was a pre-order and my AI+ controller should ship out on Jan30th with the C02/ppfd sensor.
Mabey I'm a bit bias, but for me, it's ACI all the way

Either of those would grow amazing peppers.

ACI is generally more expensive and considered more premium than Spiderfarmer, but im very happy with Spiderfarmers quality as well.

It really comes down to your budget and which you want, they're both more then enough for peppers.

I currently have just a 2x sf1000 lights, I like them too, not expensive at all. Will think about it thanks

Will think about it thanks, I am interested in the AI Controller as well. Is the terraformer alternative for inline fan? or just a add-on

Are you trying to fully flower/fruit your peppers indoors, or are you just raising them to a juvenile size to later transplant and finish outside. Both lights you linked are sufficient to grow high-light-demand plants indoors, to completion.

If you don’t need that sort of power or capability, you can spend a lot less to accomplish the same thing. Asking, because I start peppers and tomatoes indoors every year to transplant outside, and I use like half of the wattage that I use for my indoor cannabis plants.

When the temperature is good enough, around spring... so we got some time!!! Last year I planted them a little too early and the heavy rain season kind of slowed everything down (Netherlands) so this time I wanna make a strong foundation before transplanting outside in the open, especially the chinense variants need a good foundation.

+ Last year... I don't know why but all my tomatoes started to turn black in the stems, leaves and eventually rott the tomatoes on it. I honestly don't know why it happened. My tomatoes Infront of my house did extremely well no disease whatsoever.

These were outside in a small tent greenhouse. It grew well untill the blackness appeared haha.

The Terraform is a 4 in 1 unit. An Air conditioner, dehumidifier, heater and circulation. Sadly it can only be used in 1 mode at a time. I didn't know that at the time i ordered it. I thought it could run multiple modes at once.

So you can't run the ac and dehuey at the same time?

No, that's what I originally thought. Major bummer

It's basically a very expensive AC or dehuey. The convenience of being an external unit is cool with ducting to the tent but aside from that, I'd recommend waiting till a huge sale or a newer upgraded model comes out

Yea it sounds kinda redundant at this point. I thought you couldn't run the heat and ac simultaneously. No dehuey and ac is a deal breaker for me.

Spider Farmer and Mars Hydro were making lights before ACI ever stepped into the arena.

Right!! Like seriously, why would you make a product like that and then call it a 4 in 1. Knowing damn well that growers face heat and humidity issues together. Then add C02 to the equation..... idk man, I do kinda feel like I was bamboozled with slick talking solicitation. Mabey it can still be purposed for a drying tent.

Aci went bar style before them. Also had the humidifier and heater first. I still have my mars tsw 2000 panels. Had to replace the drivers several times but they're still working after 6yrs.
But once I put the 301H Evo over my plants, I could see a noticeable response within 24hrs
