Congrats....Butitsnot 1000 watts...... its 100..if you have the SP- 1000
But those 100 watts replace aHID of 1000 Watt... , Thats how the Name comes together....
The recommended Light for a4x2 is the SP-2000,
I have the spiderfarmer SP-2000 in a 2x4 Tent ( 60 cmx120 cm and 2m hight) and i let the Light run on 100 Percent, The distance for my seedlings ( first 2 weeksis 90 cm...... And if they are bigger 75 cm. From then on i dontcahnge distance of the lights
The SP-1000 is recommended up to 1 squaremeter coverage....... I just would look how they perform and looking to get another light for flower. For vegetation start on 75 cm ...... and let them like this... in flower look for another Light, ofr look how theyperform... very possible its enough
Because those qunatumboard have ahigh quality DL I -Output
Just pay attention with your seedlings, give them enough distance to the light

Yea i mean of anything I might have 1 that needs finishing up.. mabey 2 weeks under it.. later in the season... just a guess though.. but other than that.. i might get sum photos to blooming right before it warms up. Like I said. I don't plan on budding them the whole bud cycle. As for seedlings I'm loving my little 100watts.. or 15 watts really lol.. I've had some get full size under them and even did like I said. Started budding photos and took them out to finish..

You're alright if it's around 50-60 cm above the plants. Everyone got the Spiderlight these, it's really popular so we're both quite trendy these days ! fun times ! 🚀

And I already understand 2 would work better for my area.. or the 2k watt version. But really I don't plan on finishing most of what I'll grow under the light.. mostly its to lengthen my season.. and get my plants big before taking them out in the spring.

Fan vs Fanless LEDsHow effective are heatsink LEDs? I'm not sure if I should go with fanless (like Mars Hydro SP150) or with a fan (Mars Pro II Epistar 120). I struggle with heat, when the tent is closed it gets to 29-30 degrees with humidifier in full swing (HID lights) and I want to close it soonSetup. Lighting

Leaves "praying" after lowering the lampI am in week 4th of flowering Laughing Buddha, 220W LED ~60cm from tops. Today I have lowered the lamp and the leaves started "praying", on one (higher) plant the other, mostly-indica Holy Punch seems unaffected. I am curious, is there too much light or sweet spot and it's good?

Switching light schedule for an auto and Phototype!I'am growing together an auto and a phototype with 20/4 light circle. For my phototype is about time to change light schedule for flowering, will my auto be badly impacted by switching to a 12/12 light? Or should I move every day (same place but no light) the photo for the night?Setup. Lighting

If I move 3wk old S.Diesel & Critical from 18hrs💡indoors to outdoors where they'll get +/-11hrs direct🌞. Is there still a risk of them going into flower even though they're still babies? I really don't want this to happen. They'll be in the woods so no chance to add extra light5 years ago

Can you make an Auto flower by changing the light schedule?Ok, before everyone jumps on this with the obvious answer - I understand that you don’t NEED to change the lighting for an auto to flower, but my question is can you, if you wanted to, flip an auto to flower by changing the light schedule to 12/12?Setup.

Does anyone have experience with colas that have been severely light deprived, yet still have trichs?My ghost nug grew up on the side of the tent blocked from light. She has trichs, looks super light yellow (see pics). My question is, wouldn't this be desirable? Less chlorophyll to wait on before smoking? Has anyone tried to maybe light deprive parts of their colas?
