Nah, I think the sonofarm is the same as the Spiderfarmer 4000.

The Agrow had only 3k yellow Samsung leds
the new light has blue red white and yellow. I keep it up about 24 inches and not on full power till around week 4ish in bloom.

I dunno man, at a glance those plants don't look stressed or anything, a lil tip-burn isn't that big of a deal. . ... Or, maybe i just don't see it in the pics and maybe you have given em waaay too much light. I had a plant throw wirey foxtails like that one, i think i had my CMH too close to it even though the plant didn't have taco'd leaves or light burn or anything.

Either that, or you found the "double negative" phenos and got the opposite of lucky, lol.

Damn...wish they would sell these Sonofarm lights in Canada! Seems identical to the SpiderFarmer but a bit cheaper still

I have two 100w Sonofarm LEDS and I have to say that my plants do NOT like these lights. For whatever reason no matter what I put under those lights they just look unhappy. This is obviously all anecdotal and I have messed with hanging height/intensity and nothing seems to change. The same plants that look sad under the sonofarms look happy and praying under either of my Mars Hydro (TS1000 and FC-E3000). Not sure what I am gonna do with these lights going forward but my broke ass is probably just gonna have to keep using them.

Interesting to hear, and sorry to hear too.

I have a hard time trusting these claims. A 400w light seems quite under powered to flower a 5x5.
The shit stank so bad of plant material it ruined all the food in the freezer
What was the smell about? I just froze a whole plant in Tupperware to run for bubble hash and have no issues with smell?

Oof that's terrible. What kind of things are you seeing from the plants under the light btw?

I use the light in a 3x3 so it's perfect power (I thought).
The frozen plant just had a plant matter smell. Where I failed is I had it in plastic shopping bags not sealed

Ah, ok that makes sense. You are correct, that should be plenty of light for them in that space.

Interesting problem. Same strain different light. Problems.
Can you run same strain with your first light again?
You went from like 30w to 45w a sqft. Dunno.

I'm gonna take a break from those seeds, I think I have one original one left.

I did clean everything down again, sanitized the fans and tent and room etc...
Dropped 2 Barneys farm Glue Gelato Fem Auto seeds on the 9th. I just want a easy grow this time, plus I've never grew autos before.
.
So 3.5 gal DWC with Current Culture Nutes by the book feeding. Sounds fun!
