Spider Farmer SF1000 LED Grow Light with Samsung LM301B Daisy Chain Dimmable Full Spectrum Grow Lights for Indoor Plants Veg Flower Growing Lamps Board 3x3 ft Coverage 100W New Diode Layout

Product Information

Since their debut in 2015, Spider Farmer has established themselves in the grow light space with high quality, reliable product lines. They are known for offering both commercial setups and home gardener lights. Spider Farmer SF-1000 puts out a mixed light that covers most of the spectrum. And its PAR output is adequate for most plants, including the heavy-flowering ones. Also, the LED light uses a different type of Samsung diode (LM301D). They are less efficient and dimmer than the LM301B diodes. Upgrades beyond lighting will depend on the size of your grow tent and the level of seriousness as a grower. For larger tents, a humidifier, dehumidifier, air conditioner or heater can be added to improve the environment for plant growth. These days, both both use their own drivers that are equal to the MeanWell ones, but specifically made for their lights.

Consider investing in a complete grow tent kit if you’re looking to set up an indoor grow room on a budget without making any home alterations. With our kit, you’ll receive everything you need to start growing, including a tent, light, and exhaust system. We configure everything for you, so you won’t have to worry about whether your grow light covers the right footprint for your tent or whether your exhaust fan is strong enough. Just like the much more expensive fixtures from Horticulture Lighting Group, Spider Farmer fixtures used high quality dimmable MeanWell drivers in the past and Samsung LM301B chips. One of the top features of this SF LED light is its low power consumption. That’s all thanks to its LEDs and Aluminum as a heat sink. The light only consumes around 96 watts with a PPF efficacy rate of around 2.45 μmol/s/Watt.

Specifically, the premium brands like Fluence’s Spyder and the Gavita bar lights are far more expensive and not really any better. The results you get from both are basically the same. The average PPFD of the light at a hanging distance of 12″ is around 531 μmol/m²/s, so its PAR (PPF) output is close to 240 μmol/s. Spider Farmer are so confident in the SF1000 that it comes with their 3 year manufacturers guarantee for ultimate peace of mind. Like HLG fixtures, one of the biggest strengths of the Spider Farmer lights is their form factor. The quantum boards used in the fixtures are large and flat, with LED diodes spread out over the entire surface.

Personally, I prefer COB lights with additional diodes to add extra blue and red to the spectrum, but quantum board lights are a very close second. It is important to note that the flowering footprint of the Spider Farmer SF-1000 is 2′ × 2′ (0.6m × 0.6m). Outside that coverage area, it’s challenging to grow heavy-flowering and fruiting plants . The Spider Farmer SF1000 LED Grow Light features a generous array of top quality diodes over its patented diode layout to enable the cultivator to produce enormous perpetual harvests of premium quality flowers - without breaking the bank. The company has service centers in the US, the UK, Germany and Canada, so you won’t have to wait nearly as long as you do with many Chinese brands to get your light fixed if anything does go wrong. Suitable for housing 2 to 4 plants throughout their full cycle. Alternatively, it can accommodate 6 to 8 smaller plants during the vegetable stage.

Who Is An Indoor Grow Tent Kit For?

Apart from the heat, the only real disadvantage is the fact that Spider Farmer is a Chinese brand. That means worse quality control and worse customer service than American brands, although HLG also has problems with both quality control and customer service. They do better than Chinese brands, but not good enough.

The aluminum heat sink has several unique advantages compared to grow lights with cooling fans attached. This results in 100% fanless, self cooling system which makes the fixture extremely robust with an expected lifespan of 50000 hours! That is pretty much impossible to beat! The gentle environment gives way for many successes. I have rooted several mulberry and apple tree cuttings as well, i have never been able to do this before.

Spider Farmer Review: Final Verdict

The smart controller has multiple operation modes, 10 fan speeds, is easy to program, and automatically controls humidity and temperature with four easy settings. Before the bar lights, it was quantum lights and before that COBs. The truth is that all three work well to grow plants. Which is best really depends on your specific needs and preferences. Spider Farmer are one of the top manufactures of indoor grow lights for beginners and experts alike. They allow you to produce dense buds covered in trichomes while consuming half the power of a HPS or CMH light. They also produce MUCH less heat allowing you to control the heat and humidity levels inside your grow tent or room. The clever work from the team at Spider Farmer has produced a high powered LED Grow Light that runs much cooler than its competitors. The only lights in the same price range with a similar spectrum are the Mars Hydro TS and SP grow lights. There are some differences in the spectrum, though. And, of course, in the components.
