Hey R.U.I. fam. I'm excited about starting a new ALL Organic grow. I even got a new tent. It's a 2 x 4 but its 84" tall. So I'm stoked on that. Maybe I can even try a tall Sativa now. Sweeet! SO, I'm going to get a Cloudline T6 for this one. My last 4" seems to work hard at times in my other 2x4. So I'm going with 6" on this tent. BUT, What I'm really here to post about is a new light. I am happy with my 2 Maxsisun MF1500's. Although I would like to get something really nice this time. Green Sunshine has a sale right now. The New ES300's are $500. I would like options. Do any of yall own them? I know lights, like most things, are personal preferences. Although I do value yalls advice, since I know some of you have been at this a while. Thanks.

Except the FC series are square, so that wouldn't work in an elongated space.

The SP 3000 would kill it in that space though. About 350 bucks or less

So is the growers choice and chill as I said I prefer bar style over board. Tents are fairly cheap, really nothing to get a 4x4 or 5x5 and turn one of the 2x4s into a dry, veg or veg and flower tent.

I thought you were referring to the bar style since they are all square. The 3000 would do well that's your opinion as my comment was mine, guess I'm not allowed a opinion on this forum. If you dont use your equipment, your method or your suggestions I'm wrong. With the 3000 I would have the same issue as using a board. Edges would recieve less light than towards the middle

I have both the Chilled Growcraft x6 and the Scorpion Diablo. Great build quality and decent warranty on both. But are they worth the big $$$?

Customer service is good on both and getting it shipped out to you in a day or 2 is a big plus. Getting replacement parts is top notch. But are they worth the $$?

All comes down to trust and $$$. If you don't care about spending extra $$$ then those lights are your best choice IMO.

If you don't care about trust and want to save $$ then there are options elsewhere. Most of the cheaper brand lights will grow just as well.

No it will work in that space. U may have to dim it down slightly but in the future u may up size your tent or go with a room.

That's exactly what I was thinking. I can upgrade tents down the road when I have the space & still use this light. I dim now even with my smaller lights. I usually use 25% power week 1-3 of Veg. Then 50% week 3 of veg to week 2 of flower. Then 75% weeks 3 through 6 of flower. Then 6 week on of flower I do 100 % full power. Anyhoo, I'm really liking this one. It's a little more than I was planning. But probably well worth the money. Thanks again guys. I'll keep yall tuned in.

I got a new 7' tall 2x4 as well. Seriously stoked on this set up. I'll be moving over some Northern Lights from my Veg tent tomorrow. Thanks again @PadawanWarrior for all the advice. Looking forward to some Organic grows.

I would get the spider farmer sf40000. It puts the same watts as the horticulture lights and not even half of the 1200 dollars you’d pay for it. Vivosun has a 4x4 tent that’s 80” high for a hundred bucks with the same diamond mylar inside @98% reflectivity. The sf is only 450 dollars and you can get 20% off of that if you write them and tell them you plan on buying it. I only paid 380 for mine and it puts out 480 watts easy. I’m growing two gelatos with the 4000 and it’s putting them colas out everywhere like beer cans and there loving it like McDonald’s. Ba da dah dah dah.

The 1st pic is Blue Dream. My 1st grow. I used a Maxsisun MF1500 ($129.00). Then the 2nd pic is my current, Red Mandarine. With Maxsisun MF1500. So I splurged & spent the big bucks on a quality HLG LED. I figured I'd I can do that with cheap lights, I can only imagine my next grow with this HLG. I cant wait! The journey starts tomorrow. Ha. Cheers man. I think most any light will work, if you know what you're doing. Although if I'm dedicating my time. I want the goods. Cheers bud!
