Hey Alex i have a question. if the light is set up to 100% of the luminosity and its installed at 30"" distance ( which is the distance recommended in the manual during seeding.) Will light be effective as the recommended set up, if i lower the luminosity to 50% and lower the light distance to 15""?
Interesting, how much height of grow space do you have? I have a very short grow tent 32 x 24 x 32(h) in inches. I was contemplating which option to get the SF600 or SF1000. What do you recommend and at what power setting?
Your tent is much taller than mine. This one is only 50cm high. I'd recommend the sf1000 because you can adjust the power between 40w and 110w to adjust depending on the plant and height :) I have a discount code of alexsuccs05 on Amazon for 5% off if that's useful to you
My Spider farmer is making the leaf grow curly and weird at 24inches away. I have a Unit Farmer 100 watt and it does not do this so will look at turning mine down. Thank you for pointing me in the right directions.
Mine has 2 holes. One dims the acual light the other doesn't dim the light but on my killawatt they both dim the watt. I'm dealing with some light burn so I don't know with one I should dim
A meross smart plug with integrated power consumption monitoring. Plenty of different plugs doing the same thing these days and can control the lights turning on/ off
Yes exactly. Or you can plug in a wattage meter. Neither are expensive but I prefer the smart plugs as I can control when the night turns on and off automatically plus check the wattage
@@alcurtis93 it's like a normal smart plug except it has dimming capabilities It's able to restrict power also has light automation all done through a app it's not the smallest of plugs so it might have what your saying but not sure
@@alcurtis93 hey bro don't do what I did I blew my light today it was working ok for a bit then it just stop working it fried my light i was lucky it happened while I was working on my garden
Nameste Alex, Can you make a video of succulent repotting after you get it from the nursery, please? Most of my succulents as long as they are in the nursery pot they are alive, but when I repot them most tend to die... in spite of using the same potting mix like the original pot. Please teach me how not to kill them. Thank You.
I don't buy plants from nurseries often. Trick is to get all the old soil off, place into the new soil (that's dry) and wait. Until either the plant shows signs of new growth or being thirsty and then water
@@alcurtis93 Thanks for the tips. I use to water the plants thoroughly immediately after repotting and might be that was the reason most of them would rot in a few days. Since I am an Echeveria killer, do you have any videos where you have shown/explained how to spot & understand when Echeveria is thirsty? PS: What do you do to have such healthy plants in such small pots? Please make a video teaching about it.
What did u use to dim the light ? Any special plugs or apps?

Did you light came with a light dimer?
Is the factory default setting @100% or do they say where it is out of the box?
Cheers mate, this’ll come in handy if/when I get mine 👍🏻🌵☀️

As for the power setting to use at this height it really depends on what you're growing
@@alcurtis93 Thanks for the information, appreciated. Will definitely use that discount.
Does the spider farmer 2000 have a setting where this can be bypassed? This seems kind of like a con of the light.
Where what can be bypassed? I'm not able to see which video you commented on

I have a plug in watt meter that goes into the plug and you plug the light socket into that. So quite handy.
Yes at 90 watts It`s stopped doing it even at 12 inches away. Cheers friend.
Mine has 2 holes. One dims the acual light the other doesn't dim the light but on my killawatt they both dim the watt. I'm dealing with some light burn so I don't know with one I should dim
Not sure why there are two but I'd definitely recommend just adjusting the one which dims the light itself
What app is that that tells you your wattage
I'm sure you mentioned it, yet what is the device and or software you are using with your cell phone?
A meross smart plug with integrated power consumption monitoring. Plenty of different plugs doing the same thing these days and can control the lights turning on/ off
So If i go buy a wifi smart plug i can plug in my sf4000 and check the wattage of it?
Yes exactly. Or you can plug in a wattage meter. Neither are expensive but I prefer the smart plugs as I can control when the night turns on and off automatically plus check the wattage
But it has to be a smart plug which has built in power consumption
I use the zigbee smart dimmer to to dim and automate my grow light was sick of having to unscrew that driver
Sounds good. haven't heard of that before! I imagine it needs some wires cutting and a box spliced into the circuit?
@@alcurtis93 it's like a normal smart plug except it has dimming capabilities
It's able to restrict power also has light automation all done through a app it's not the smallest of plugs so it might have what your saying but not sure
@@alcurtis93 hey bro don't do what I did I blew my light today it was working ok for a bit then it just stop working it fried my light i was lucky it happened while I was working on my garden
How did that happen?!
@@alcurtis93 Im not sure exactly I'm doing a bit of research atm

How did you check your wattage with that tablet?
Using a smart plug over WiFi. I own a plug called a meross mss310
Thank you...how much was it
