Hello all,
Long time grower here with much to learn. I've recently decided to start back growing after a 5 year hiatus. One of the deals I made with the wife is that I would try to use less electricity than in the past. I was running 2 1000w hps lights in a 4x8 space and had to run an air conditioner to keep it cool. As you probably know that was making for a pretty high bill every month.
I was thinking if I could upgrade my flower light to an LED maybe I wont have to run the AC. I've been reading and doing lots of research and to be honest the more I learn the dumber I feel. WoW, the new technology that has come to the market over the last 5 years is mind blowing.
Any ways ... I'm disabled and living on a fixed income so I cant really spend to much on a light. I have around $600 in my budget for a good flower light to cover a 4x4 space in the flower room. Is it even possible to find a light for that price capable of replacing a 1000w hps?
I've been looking at the Spider Farmer 4000, but I've read good and bad about it. It's in my budget but I'm not convinced that its enough light for the type of flowers I'm used to. Any one have experience with this light? Please chime in.
Well that's it. I have my veg room all set up and seedlings going. Have about a month before I will have to decide. Please, any and all opinions and recommendations are welcome. Thank you!
