Great customer service,by far the most sexy light I have ever used love it.So keep your eyes out for the journals that will be coming along soon,im in the middle of sexing some seedlings the minute I have a female, i will start growing ,I will be using it in the mean time for getting them up to a height that I can clone to sex.Then has soon has i have a female,i will carry on with veg under this.Then over to flower,got big hopes with this light.Bright is a understatement,both the old leds have got to be taken out.At the minute I have those seedlings under a house lamp.But in next day or so i will be putting them under this.Love the dimmer on it,all the hangers are really good quality also.Looking forward to this new light.Strain I will be doing under it will be sugar factory.The cheese cake i have auto is just starting to flower ,so I am not sure what to do finish it under the t5 or under this .20200918_115527.jpg20200918_115512.jpg20200918_115502.jpg20200918_115449.jpg20200918_115439.jpg20200918_115430.jpg

Going to hit my flower room with just these,hps lights are getting took down.
So keep your eye on this post ,because im ordering sf2000 this Monday.Then its all out led,I thinking by the time I weigh running cost up heat issues.I may get a little less,but i will be running a set of these light and just adding to get the right amount of light in that room ,but will be interesting to see what 3 can do over 3 plant.2 scrog grown other cage.Its cost on average £4.09 a day for full room thats 2 600s t5 and 2 mars leds that have now been passed on to family who can use them.I aint one to slate a company because I've moved on ,mars was always good to me.But this build is just so much better ,ya can just tell that they have come a very long way.Got a lot of uk growers i know that have all eyes on this thread ,so we will see.The first grow under them is going to be a flower grow ,simply because I can't wait for full veg ,I have plants ready to flower.Ive always vegged under t5,but next run I will be vegging under these lights. I am also sexing some sugar factor,they need a fair veg yet so perhaps can use that has veg test for time been.But this time its all about flowering.Nutrients will be has always canna a/b advanced big bud canna pk 13/14 .But im in talks with greenhouse about there powdered feeds atm so we will see .

The plants are loving this light ,that room just feels far better now,i was going to decrease the exhaust but decide against it.Just going to add a speed dial to it so I can increase/decrease if needed .Need to get these in the auto pots when other 2 lights come,and put one light over each plant .I might even get some nice purple bud with temps been this low.Gotta admit i aint been this impressed with a light since cool vented hood come out ,shit I'm getting old.Plants disco biscuit clone ,super lemon haze exodus cheese .All 3 getting flowered the minute i get other lights.20200919_184221.jpg20200919_184141.jpg

The full garden has really benefitted from having this light ,so one per plant should do just fine.Getting flipped tomorrow,so thats the first test. A lot to do these next couple of days,just built table.So tomorrow there getting put in auto pots ,table over them.I really did expect a little stretch but none at all.I will be focusing on the disco biscuit clone and the super lemon dankness. Exodus is going in one of corners with cage around it.The mother plants have all rooted thats great news.20200921_185226.jpg20200921_192729.jpg20200921_192740.jpg20200921_192750.jpg20200921_192801.jpg20200921_185217.jpg

Last photo from this dude ,its going outdoors to finish off.The young seedlings have just really took of .So won't be long before I can nick a clone of each one,then flower them on outskirts of main grow.Just to get a idea of the terp profile and growth structure.That will all been done in next week or so,the clones just need to catch up.Im going with another spider farm light for veg.The juice im saving is so far unbelievable,when other lights come i will give ya a true cost per 12 hour .Cheesecake,exodus cheese x wedding cake20200921_184822.jpg

the difference between mars and spiderfarms so far is the quality of the build,but more so running cost spiders is a tad cheaper to run ,heat is a lot cooler.Ive never seen plants respond to a light like these have in last few days

No dude I'm not at all,but im happy with the quality of the product. I don't put stuff that aint true ,if there's a problem or something i don't like i put it down.But not found anything negative yet,The plants really do the talking there loving the cooler temps that's for definite.I have just bought another 2 lights ,i would not be paying if I was on payroll

So I did want to start my venture with these lights from start till finish,but sometimes you just have to go on the timing of your plants.I pulled out the hps lights now, there stored away.I don't know if its just me or what but I think one more would be perfect for that area.Even though on paper its saying that's easy enough light for those plants.There bright though ,used the loop for the dimmer also ,great been able to just use the one light to sort them all out.So now its all about training these girls for next 3/4 week.And seeing what weight I get at the end from them.One things for definite,and that is running cost have been halved and I think I need to use a small outlet now and inlet.But saying that the disco biscuit is loud in veg so in flower its only going to get louder.The super lemon haze is also real smelly once it gets going.So I'm gonna try a speed dial on the outlet and just increase the more smell I get.Im hoping on some nice colorful buds with the temps been low,the disco biscuit defo has a lovely dark purple color to it when its finished .I have also got some cube x wedding cake, sugar factory .That im in process of sexing ,im just gonna sex keep all the females because there uniform and aint much to go on with smell ,they all smell lovely.So your welcome to jump along and watch this one,im pretty sure I've made right choice with everything else lights and genetics.Genetics I know i have,the lights are great so can't see a problem .20200925_153335.jpg20200925_152450.jpg20200925_152445.jpg20200925_150116.jpg20200925_150116.jpg20200925_151600.jpg20200925_153340.jpg20200925_153743.jpg20200925_154936.jpg

Just had to move these from under the sf1000,because of plants i have under them now are in flower.But if you look at these from the time they went under the light to now is incredible.Real nice stacked nodes,look great.Just gonna start to re do the veg unit. it needs a make over,so im gonna put some new mylar around bottom and re polly walls.Its done well for the time i built it 10 year ago .There on 1.1 ec but will be going up during week to 1.2 .New lights and new genetics,wedding cake x starfighter sugar factory also 2 disco biscuit phenos and a super lemon haze 20200926_151826.jpg

Looking good. I just put a 4000 in my tent yesterday.
Good luck ,the plants i have under the 3 are loving it .All though I would be a lot happier with another one.I only ever do 2 plants 3 max.With odd time i try more,but that won't be happening again .I end up with same weight.That room is maxed out I think at 2lb,lb a plant.I pretty sure I aint gonna get no where near that this time tbh.But the growing conditions are absolutely perfect maybe a little cool.I will need heater in there come winter,i have a speed dial ive bought working now that has fan running at set speed to keep temps at the setting i have dialed in .Had a right f@ck up at weekend well prob for last week,i noticed that the clones started to yellow.And the super lemon haze in flower room.All of them started to have issues tbh,so we put it down to the batteries in ec truncheon.It was saying the plants was at 1.1 ec in clone veg room,the plants under the sf1000's was at 1.3 and auto 1.3.that was after calibrating.They just kept getting worse ,so bit the bullet and bought a new blue lab truncheon.The ec was of the scale,clones was on 1800 ppm other two of the scale .so now I've got a truncheon that works ,im hoping I can nurse these back to health.The disco biscuit and sugar factory seem to have dealt with it ok.Gotta hope that they will bounce back ok now.I do hope so because that pheno of db is nice,has some nice color to it .Taste is really nice ,nice terpy plant.But yep happy with lights ,but do need same again another 3,in the end .To get the best i can from them ,will be interesting to see what weight I get from 3 of them over 2 plants.I have done these test a few times now,but never in my main room,so its a risk.My mates are loving the way room looks and the temps plus also add the running cost to that. That is half what it cost to run 2 x 600,Cost is not really a issue tbh it comes out of the bud i have left over.That I let go to friends ,but i do have friends that have units and the money they would save would be unbelievable.So there all watching this one,if I can get 1/2 lb per plants I will be happy.Its definitely doable seen it done with the mars lights ,and these are easy has good light wise .So we will see,I very nearly left the hps in there rigged up for last few week,but that would not be a true test.
