Would this be an upgrade or downgrade?
Duddersstarted grow question 3 years ago
Currently using a 400w HPS on a 18/6 schedule for my autoflower.
I've just seen this being sold on FB and wondered whether this might be as efficient/better/worse than what I already have
Appreciate that it's a 'budget' light, but still looks pretty good š¤·āāļøš¼

I would orefer a 100w LED over a 400w HPS - BUT - looks like you are growing in some corner of a shed so a HPS might actually do your temps better than a 100w LED if your outside temps are dropping below 15oC purely from a temp view - HPS cost anfortune to run so if your enviornment is stable go for the LED. If temp drops are an issue might be worth keeping the hps and ballast just for the temperature

Nope. That's a 100w light give or take. A quarter of what you now have.

Yes Dudders!! This will be a massive upgrade for your electricity bill.
HPS is really nice and produces nice weed. Itās just that itās really expensive to operate.
This Spider farmer will definitely be a more economical option for operational costs but may not perform as well as your 600 watt HPS.
So itās a trade off right.

Although look a bit deeper into that 1000w rating - it is probably like 150w at the wall or something but samsung diodes are good man

Help with issues IDI have a photoperiod in a 5 gal using BAS light. It is currently day 3 of week 4 , and I'm getting some damage on the tops. Would this be light stress or another issue? The tips are starting to go light green. Using the 200 watt light for the 2x4x8 ac infinity tent.

Do you lower light intensity and temps towards the end of flower?So Iām in mid flower, start of week 7 to be exact. Iām curious on when you guys start pulling back light intensity and going with a little cooler temps. Iām running a 240W S33 from AC infinity in a 3x3.
Should I be going strictly off of PAR or VPD at this point.Setup. Lighting

How many plants in a 70x70x160cm tent with 100W?Hello, I have a grow tent kit 2x2 with a 100W 301H EVO Spider Farmer light. I have put there three 11L pots. But now I realize the size/light of my tent might not be enough. Could I manage by adding an additional 60W lamp you reckon or is it best to discard at least 1 plant? Thx

UV LED slowing down growth? Sorry previous question without the question!The plant has a rectangular area in the middle where it is not growing as quickly. The difference is almost 10cm. I suspect the lamp. Could it be that the centrally installed UV LEDs are causing this? They should grow more inside because of more light.

Stretchy seedlings...worried!Hi, I have 5 seedlings on day 7. 2 of them are going fine but the three from ditch passion were very stretchy though. Likely due to having the light to far away. Take a look, any advise would be great. Cheers all!

Hight ProblemsIāve got 3 plants in my tent, but theyāre all different heights. To compensate, Iāve hung my light at an angle, so one end is closer to the smaller plants.
My question is: Does this help, or am I better off keeping the light level? Any tips for dealing with uneven plant heights?
