Light placements

07-17-2025, 11:41 AM

Hello growers!! Set up question here. My new Spider Farmer SE3000 is arriving this weekend and i want to get it in asap because I’m week 4-6 of flowering (my beast is a slowpoke) my spider is a 4 bar , my other 2 lights are Vivosun 1000 boards. Any advice on where to place them in my 4x4 ? I have Big Mama
( formerly known as the Beast) in the back cuz she takes up a lot of space , then the two smaller ones in the front. Right now i have the two set like this (see pic) my thoughts were hang the bar in the middle back and the two towards the front on either side left and right? Would like to know how you would do it. According to meter im at 500-900+ ppfd at 100% dimmable, depending on the spot , my goal is to have a better coverage overall.

Hi bluey, i also have 2 VS1000 boards . I guess I’m wondering if I should put my 200 W bar light in the middle and my 100 W boards in the back and in the front or on the left and right side of my 200 watt

It will probably need to be under side lighting with the 100w boards in a 4x4 dimmed 50% or something like that and the 300w centre.

Just want to mention that se3000 is 300 watts not 200. Just saying. Great light.
