Make sure you got those true watts from the wall like Xena says. Heartbreaker for you and tent if it's not big enough. Good luck those spider farmer were talked about on this site before a couple years back so they are still around that's a good sign. And made improvements for sure.Smoke Ganja create Peace Respect Nature don't trash the Planet

I only go by the draw from the wall. All these lights that claim to be a replacement for hps/hid at there advertised watts is meaningless. Also see if you can find a PPFD chart showing how large the main focus of the light is and the drop off. I see a lot of lights that claim to cover 4x4 but make sure you check for veg and bloom coverage they are always different by a lot.

Originally posted by Xena View PostLooks to be made with the same Samsung diodes as mars hydro. Only costs a few bucks more. Also the SF 1000 is actual draw of 100w, says that will cover 2x2 in flower, idk from what I’ve been told 25w per sq ft isn’t close to enough.
Even running top-tier diodes like the lm301b, I wouldn't expect a ppfd over 500 when trying to light 4 sq ft. I've found that if you can run 35-40 w/sq ft using lm301b or equivalent will absolutely crush a grow.WHAT???

I also have a sf2000 and I'm very happy with it. Spider farmer says 205w actual draw and 2.7 umol/j but with the highly efficient drivers and LEDs that are being used now a days the watt draw is not the best way to compare them with other lights, it's like comparing an old carb engine with a fuel injected model the output is different. The umols and ppfd map are the way to compare lights these numbers are the actual measurements of the light that can't be twisted to mean something different and if the manufacturer doesn't provide these numbers they're probably hiding something. The sf1000 is literally half of a 2000 so actual draw is 100w
EDIT = and my buds under this light compared with two 600w blurples. I would say I saw a 30% increase in size...Last edited by MeEasy; 09-01-2020, 09:15 AM.

I have 3 of the Mars Hydro TSL-2000. They draw right at 300 from the wall. I use them all to flower plants. I use burple lights to veg. They produce very good buds and good yields. Very happy with my led lights. two of these in a 4x4 tent will make a grower a very happy person in a few short months.4x4 flower tent
