What lights you got?
I’ve a spider farmer sf1000 dimmable, got it on special last year. Works fine for me, if I go bigger I may get another but I’ve been looking down the route of what some of you guys are using. Anyone have good experience with both and have a preference?

So I bit the bullet and ordered 8 new SQUARE pots for veg and flower (and some more bat guano). Dunno why it took so long for the penny to drop! My tents have square floors and if I use square pots, I maximise the root space, which will mean a bigger plant... As my mate so eloquently put it "it's like putting a round peg in the square hole, it works but it's not right" lol

More than what I have, they’ve all seen to come up ok so far. Do tell, I’m happy to be schooled.
You want 100 'true watts', a lot of leds will advertise the equivalent watts. I've gotten away with cuttings/seedlings under 50w of cob but growth was slow.
If ya look at the link below yall see what I mean, it's advertised as 1000w but then says in the description it only draws 40w.

Ah right, so what lamps do you have, maybe I’ll flog the spider farmer if I can get something better for around the same price

Sorry dude I just flicked back through the thread, that spider farmer sf1000 actually draws 100ws. Jenkos comment confused me lol. I've a mate rocking that same lamp in a 60x60, seems to be doing grand. I've some dimmable quantum boards running at 240w in an 80x80, but I knock em up to 400w for flower.

Might pull my one back out and throw in a few bulbs! Cannot see a price on that one. Bought it of a friend but has no description on it20201027_112953.jpg20201027_112953.jpg20201027_113036.jpg
