What's going on guys Im in the market to buy another light for my 4x2, I'm growing 4 gorilla glues from fast buds

I already have 1 Viparspectra 600w but I'm not sure what to buy.

My 2 options are:
Viparspectra 600w
Spider Farm sp1000

Depends on your budget. They really aren't comparable lights. The SF is a way better product. But your paying way more per watt for it.

Edit: looked up that Viparspectra. Don't buy that. If your getting cheap blurple garbage it should at least be cheap. At least here in Canada on Amazon that Viparspectra is way overpriced for what it is.
 
For about 200 bucks you can get 4 hlg qb288 v1 boards 29 bucks each. and a meanwell driver hlg 240h 48a 68 bucks. a couple strips of aluminum and waalaa great light 200 bucks end easy build. plenty of light and run soft about 60 percent. the big plus the purp haters will go away slowly.

Where'd you source those 2 huge sheets of... Aluminum?

Well I got those free at work. I read where someone used aluminum cookie sheets. If run at 60 percent or less the heat sinks are not needed with this set up.

Damn, what were those sheets supposed to/used to be?
Cookie sheet builds are sweet. Haha.

Look thru locally, yellow pages or similar. I get sheets like that and even bigger for around 10€ and they do around 250-300w dissipation. 1/8" is the bees-knees. If you know anyone in building or similar locally ask them where they get their stuff from.
