- Check out my new book that you can pre-order now. Simplify Vegetable Gardening will be available on 16th Feb 2024. Pre-order now to be the first to get a copy of this book that has all my personal tips. geni.us/SimplifyVegGardening I spent months looking for some new grow lights and had decided upon the type I wanted. But just before I bout Spider Farmer contacted me to test out their Spider farmer SF1000 Led Grow light.
This was perfect timing as I was really contemplating the SF1000. The more I looked into it the more it makes perfect sense to me. I kept asking myself the question are they really worth it?
Spider Farmer emailed me and sent me one of their SF1000 for me to be able to make this SF1000 Led Review video and talk to you about how good I really think it is. Make no mistake. If I thought it was rubbish I told them I was going to tell you so. Well check out the video and see what I really thought and why?
Led grow lights are fantastic for raising plants indoors. They make indoor gardening possible especially in colder climates. Could this be one of the best led grow lights on the market? Because I am on the hunt for the best led grow lights 2020.
If you want to purchase the Spider Farmer led SF1000 from Spider Farmer they provided four links below which is for their Amazon store in each country.

sorry YT didnt tell me about your comment. I just found it
Go for hlg K spec
I know this is 4 years old. I did a power re route and a humidifier got left on 24/7. I open the grow house and it was like super heavy fog or driving into a cloud on a high peak. I run Spider Farmer. Water was dripping off everything. Spider Farmer lights (4) all lit up like it never happened. Great product review.
Thanks Tony. I was looking into these lights and your video helped me seal the deal.
Hi Tony! I really liked this grow light and am going to check it out further, thank you for explaining it so well. Much appreciated! Blessings.👵🌲🐕💖
sorry YT didnt tell me about your comment. I just found it
Great video your timing is perfect as I considering buying some lights for this winter , thanks again
Brian you will really love these they are awesome. Check out the links in the description mate to take you direct to their products on Amazon
I love the reviews and specs. I also like that it doesn’t give that blurple glow from vents. Nosy neighbors.
Yeah its a great light
If lite leaks out, = lite leaks in!!!
You need light baffles, and not just for your neighbours.
Photoperiod means something.
Loved how many times you explain how to lower the lights and use the pully things lol top man
Glad you liked it!got to make sure you got it ;)
Thanks for taking the time for a review 👍
Michael I have a new review on their SF2000 coming up and will be testing it with a PAR quantum meter to check if the levels are what they are stating as I am setting up a house plant grow room, so stay tuned for it
Great looking light and kit that come with it smashing may look into one for growing this year
This light has been awesome so far this season
Thanks. I now have this light on my list to buy.
well worth it Scott Sorry for the late reply. A load of comments said they were responded to even though they were not. I am slowly working through them all.
Thanks Buddy, always wanted to get a lighting system but I was a bit overwhelmed by all the info on the internet. I know where to go now. Cheers
They are great lights David
Seen a few reviews on this one and I am considering buying some Tony, brilliant review and keep us updated on the plants that you grow under the lights.
🍁Happy Gardening........🍂Terry King 🍁
Will do Terry. I am really liking it and glad I chose these over all the other companies that kept contacting me like Mars Hydro. I have one of those units I bought but tbh havent been impressed with their T5 version
@@simplifygardening its a mind field out there with lights and changing to LED from tubes is something that I want to do.
Thank you. You’ve helped me make my final decision between the Spider Farmer and Mars Hydro sp150 with your reference to their insulation/quality especially as you’re a firefighter! Shame they don’t do one that’s the same shape as the Mars.
Yeah and it was a reason I liked this over the mars I have both units
great info will keep my eyes open for updates about that light
cheers
Explained well thanks
Fantastic review ! Great details !
I fell much better about my purchase thank for the detailed info
No problem 👍
I like this led light system better with no fans for silent use and being dimmable great review
Thanks. They really are great lights. Im going to be getting some more of them
Finally a review that made me decide on Mars vs Spider! I'm ordering Spider today
Im glad you got value from the review. This is an awesome light
I have the sf1000 it's amazing
@@shady1468for veg and flower?
@@freesteez3 Yep it's spec of light is designed to do a plants entire life cycle, from seedlings all the way to flower
How is it handling after a few months ? I had mine delivered this morning I dont regret it at all, I also considered some Mars lights but they where a bit expensive for off brand diodes and driver vs Spider with Samsung diodes and the industry standard MeanWell driver and for £220 it was an incredible bargain, the Mars ts600 was like £450. My version came with the new external dimming controller wich was nice I have it running around 20% and around 8" from the soil tops giving a nice steady 18k Lux, not sure on what PPM that is.
Good episode thanks. New price around £140, so many will do a quick cost:benefit analysis to decide if they really need it. For those seriously contemplating such a purchase, in its class it certainly looks to tick all the right boxes.
cheers mike sorry YT didnt tell me about your comment. I just found it
im thinking of getting this but is it necessary to have to buy all the stuff the kit offers 4” Inline fan and RC412 Australian charcoal carbon filter and flex aluminum ducting combo or can i just get away with using the tent and light for my pepper and chilli plants during winter in a bedroom ?
Looks like a quality bit of kit, nice one
very gd monty Sorry for the late reply. A load of comments said they were responded to even though they were not. I am slowly working through them all.
I'm up to 4 now. Great light.
Yes they are Scott. i really like them
I never got to the end of the video before liking, subscribing and ordering one off EBay. £155. Hope my tomato turns out ok lol. Looking forward to it arriving.
Hey Damian. Glad you decided to buy one of these. They are a great light. Welcome to the channel
@@simplifygardening It`s arrived and set up. Got it on some cuttings at 24 inches away. They have been on a south facing window sill for a week and are not looking that great even tho they are in a thermostatic propagator. Hopefully it will help them out. :)
OK so i lost 10 out of 12 cuttings but I never used he light until after a week. But I used it in a flowering room too and it made some flowers.Not as big as normal HPS but then it`s a bit cooler which I was after. No fans noise is what I was after as the HPS would be too hot now. I put a heat sink on top of the voltage converter which cooled it down a bit. I ordered a propagator bulb for the cuttings and would say this lamp is very good for both but like the sun more than anything. I would say 10/10 rating.
I was really eyeing this one myself, many thanks for the great review!
This is a great light I can highly recommend it
Brilliant Video Tony …
Thanks Alan. Shame about the lighting need to sort that out for indoor filming
Been thinking about this for sometime Thanks I Will look this up. Glyn Jordan
I just received mine in the mail 2 days ago (am in Switzerland) -- hey, I didn't get plant tags and measuring tape! So far I am impressed, will see how it does.
Same for me here. Missing out on the tags and tape. Do you have any issues with the PSU on top of the lights? Mine does an audible click multiple times a second and was wondering if that is normal... :/
Aside from that the product seems well built.
Yes it is a good light Sorry for the late reply. A load of comments said they were responded to even though they were not. I am slowly working through them all.
no issues for me Sorry for the late reply. A load of comments said they were responded to even though they were not. I am slowly working through them all.

@@simplifygardening haha no problem at all buddy :) I've had my sf1000 now for a good few months, absolutely love it and so do my plants 🌱🌱
So far my girls are loving this light
Yes Gary its awesome
Can you run through the pulley system agin for me.😂👍🏾 .....great review ma man, not only do you save lives (fireman) but your review / advice has improved the size of my tomatoes 10 fold....you truly are a hero.
Thanks 👍
You were able to raise tomatoes successfully then?
Great videos I just subbed up
Glad you enjoyed the video Rob. Welcome to the channel :)
I enjoyed the video Tony, I even enjoyed the admiring advertising chat. My Samsung Phone btw never worked right and always came back from BT saying no fault, but we have repaired it, yet it kept rebooting and freezing say 10 times a day while I had it. Gave in ventually. Having said that a relatively balanced video and it is nano metres the wave length of the light. Your video dosen't show but full spectrum LED lighting has to be a mixture of LEDs because by the very nature of their construction LEDs are narrow spectrum.
Look forward to mre video output from you Tony.
Oh i love Samsung phones had them for years now
@@simplifygardening how much is china paying you to say that?
I have the sf 4000 and it is awesome
Great lights
Great review. I use Spider Farmer
I'm scared to turn mine on this year. Has anyone got theirs running and if so what has it been like on the electric? Many thanks
Now that you’ve had this light for long enough to do some growing, what do you think?
Sorry about the delay Jeffrey Ive been busy with flooding herein the UK. I love this light it is awesome all the plant love it and its so easy to adjust. Ive had no burns on any of the leaves from it and no leggyness
Good afternoon from Auckland, New Zealand it’s Saturday, November 16, 2019
Hi mate
Will you be doing an update on how well your plants grow under that light? Its the only way to know whether you can recommend it. Also are you planning to buy a series of these lights to install in your polytunnel to see if you can grow crops thru the winter?
Not suitable for that job. It needs to mounted 18" above the plant and will cover a 2ft x 2ft area with a good light intensity. you could push it to 3ft x 3ft for plants that dont need as much intensity,
yes but the memory card was faulty so will have to do it later in the year now
I had no issues with it
You didn't test it with any reading tools? Lumens? Actual wattage? etc?
It wasnt that type of video. This was more of an unboxing and thoughts on the product
Im fairly knowledgeable about lighting, hps mh and LED also and ive gotta say these are amazing lights, why you say, well they use Samsung diodes meanwell drivers have have a higher output than very expensive lights ( like HLG ) they have 2.7 umol which is extremely high, a SF4000 is £450 & compares to a industry giant ,Gavita.... these people supply huge green house's with 1500 plus lights however they are far from cheap, when i first see a SF1000 i was gobsmacked at how cheap they was and to be honest dismissed it simply on price point, ive since seen people have tested this light ( shaun at migro + others) a SF2000 draws only 402 watts but compares to a 600 watt hps in lighting output but without the heat and the actual light is useable ( its not producing like a plant cannot use).... honestly these are lights to look into,you will not be disappointed at all !!
Tested at 1.96, not 2.7 :)
@@JohnGuest45 samsumg diodes at 1.96...🙄
The 301 doesn't make 2.7, there's your first clue.
@ all i can assume ( which is not ideal i know) is we have 2 people that work for a company that are making cheaper lights, the LM301B & H ( which are EXACTLY the same diodes, not close but exactly the same,just lenses people) .. .just my view but id say we have 2 people trying to rubbish a make, just my view but saying a LM301B. .... you know what i cant even be arsed, all ill say is post proof please, we can all through out numbers,me i have nothing to sell and nothing to gain.. . Its really that simple, you all have google people.. so do some research... and dont buy shit like the mars hydro whatever.. have a great day ( the 301 dont make 2 umol per jule 😂) ... its Samsung or Cree diodes that are top of the game right now.. the rest.. . yawn !!!
Sorry for the late reply. A load of comments said they were responded to even though they were not. I am slowly working through them all.
Do you not need to change colour of the leds for different cycles of plants? I'm new to this and just interested as seen this led pop up a lot lately
no
Greetings! Nice project! Waiting for an update
Its coming
Hi Tony. I purchased an SF 1000 Spider Farmer grow light in March of 2020 and just love the light. I'm interested in expanding my grow room and looking to purchase the SF 2000 model. Do you have any discount codes that can be used on Amazon? Thank-you for all your great videos!
Hi Glenn sorry they never provided one
cracking video
Cheers Steven
Thanks for the video! Love the demo. Do they recommend wearing safety glasses around these lights?
No keith as you would stare directly at them. Its amazing the difference of the light the video just doesnt do it justice how bright they are
UK Here We Grow I heard there were some grow lights that emit something that could damage your eyes even while working around it, or even for pets that maybe in the house. Just not sure what constitutes the glasses
@@keaco73 I've heard that about all LED lights but don't know what's true. I bought 3 emergency LED lanterns from Amazon and there was a warning that said if you looked directly at the light it could damage your eyes. Hmm. Just wondering.👵🌲🐕
@@keaco73 they are lights that contain UV
UK Here We Grow ah okay thank you!
It grows well I know firsthand, can be dialled down to 40w and that's strong enough for a small mother plant
Excellent. I do like the lights it has to be said
@@simplifygardening I was 100% hps until this light converted me to led 😁 👍
Yeah LED is fantastic and so much cheaper to run
This light at 40% throws a whopping 142 par at 12" height ( and thats being generous ) , so I call bulshit that it will support a mother
Got this light on the way, out of all of the options this one just stuck out to me and the price was $170 US. Not too shabby.
Its a great light your going to love it when you get it
I see better results with mars hydro !
Whether it's worth the money or not really depends on what we grow and how they grow don't you think? I appreciate you explained clearly the technology of it, but would also like to see how you use it and how your seedlings react, your experiences really help! Thanks!
Cheers Jason. Its hard to cover all reasons for using lighting in a single video
Yes I understand! I'm interested in grow light since I can only start sowing outside from May, but seeding inside didn't bring luck in the past as the seedlings always got leggy and useless. Hope to see your update on this in the future... when you have time. Thanks!!!
How's the contact between copper board& ulminum heatsink ?
Perfect. no issues with it at all
Would love to view a follow up with plants under light.
Its coming very soon
Hi sir Iam Rado from Malaysia, that was nice explanation about grow light. I too having one at home but its a different brand for my hot peppers plant .Sir, my question is it important to ON the grow light for 24 hours whole day or only at night .As you know in Malaysia during daytime its pretty hot.Can I place my hot peppers outside and indoor at night time.Pls give some advice thankyou
If its hot the peppers can go out in the day, then bring them in you want to aim at around 16 hours of light for the peppers and 8 hours of dark if you provide that with the lighting when it goes dark to give 16 hours then allow a day night cycle
Got one at this point I can,t really fault it.Comming from HPS to LED heat ain't any problem any more.The electric is amazing also.Only down side my first grow plants were smaller or is it just me.
Cheers folks.😜🤪
Maybe you didn't adjust the height properly during bloom. Hope you've remedied the issue, Bill ✌️
What’s the reflective material you’re using in your seedling area?
Its called Mylar. I bought it off Amazon
@@simplifygardening thanks mate!
By the way £140 ! 😲 Funny how the reviewers dont mention the actual price ? How many amazon reviews are bought with a freebie ?
Thats cheap for LED Grow Lights. Prices arnt mentioned as they change
That’s cheap,I purchased one from another company and it cost £500.it was for my aquarium 👍❤️
@@simplifygardening going to be buying the sfw 2000 in febuary
Lol, 140 is very cheap for what this is.
and 7 month later this grow light is nearly double the price
Mate. I have been doing some research. Spider Farmer are actually a FRONT company for China based Mars Hydro. Why are Mars running an 'American' company from a shipping warehouse to compete with themselves? Any ideas?
I have no idea. What I will say is that the spider farmer light seems to work much better than my mars hydro light. Maybe they wanted to different companies> i am unsure
Yes they are worth it
Thanks
I'm using a single SF1000 in a 5x5 tent. It works fine.
Must be growing lettuce cos it wont cover that kind of area efficiently.;)
@@JohnGuest45 No, I'm growing gorilla glue, lemon haze and amnesia haze. I rotate them around every 2-3 days, but that single light is working and the plants are growing just fine.
Yeah, a 2000 would be much better in that. I can only grow 6 plants at a time, and between two tents (veg & flower), I'm on a 60 day harvest cycle. Consistent, dense buds for me. I usually make a lot of edibles because I have so much left over. My neighbor who is a pastry and candy chef absolutely loves me. Butter and coconut oil are my specialty haha.
great
The unit does great i wasnt intending it to cover the whole area
This would have been useful with the results video you mentioned.
Its very good John
hi, my question is if buying this light from the company website I would receive the right voltage for EU. Anyone out there who have had received a unit from the SPIDER FARMER website that could help me out?
The meanwell driver works with voltages from 110 right through to 240 so it will be fine to use in most places
@@simplifygardening thank you for the quick answer!
@@videopirate1192 no problem
Hello im new grower n i have this light my seedlings are aproximitaly 3 inches i have a dim switch as well dont know were the dimm should be set at for seedlings some1 plezz help me
Randy keep it as bright as possible and keep it a few inches above theseeds
good
Leave it on full bright. Start with 16" away, should be sufficient. Watch plants for drooping ( light too close if not due to other reasons ) and showing deficiency ( led CAN be mounted too close ( too much light ) not just cause of heat, to many par means plant tries to grow quicker than it absorbs nutrients. At ideal height your plants should reach to the light, leaves pointing up, but not so much that growth becomes leggy.. hope this helps
How many healthy big plants can I get out of this light
depends on what you are growing Sorry for the late reply
Do they run cooler then say a mars hydro 300? How do they stack up to a light like that?
I just bought one and it runs at 115 degrees.
It says on the advert that they run cooler than other lights.
There's a sticker on the back which says to add a fan to lower the temps.
@@FirstnameLastname-gd9nl
115F isnt too bad. My lights stay under 90F no fans required with remote drivers and efficient heatsinks.
@@JohnGuest45 What do you mean remote drivers? Do you mean Sonoff?
@@FirstnameLastname-gd9nl
Remote drivers are seperate from the light so they can be located outside the grow area.
@@FirstnameLastname-gd9nl what light do you have?
Spider farm or enfun led? Just seen the enfun kind and they look very comparable but i already ordered my spider🕷 farm
Great stuff Matt
Hey didnt u say they have a waterproof coating? I got my 2 sf4000 today and neither seem to have a coating on them

Hi There,
Do you think there’re value for money Tony?
How many would you need to span an average 6ft tube set up?
Many thanks Tony...,
Sorry to jump in, id buy the sf2000 to cover a 3x3 area it draws just 200 watts too, 3 months ago they was £220 and im shocked they are not £300 plus
Yes James they are great lights Sorry for the late reply. A load of comments said they were responded to even though they were not. I am slowly working through them all.

If you're looking for a budget led Mars Hydro do similar lights in various sizes
I wouldnt use a mars hydro light if it was given to me i really wouldnt, will it grow sure it will but they are far from efficient and very cheaply made, the diodes are not very good and they do not match up to the specs claimed, sure they are cheap, but for a reason !
I have both lights so might do a comparison
cheers
What is this kicking out in whatts ? 1000 ?
No its 100 watt
SpiderFarmer, mars Hydro panels and HLG panels are pretty much the fresh jizz right now and aren’t any more expensive than equivalent or less hids were 15-20 years ago. Excitebike engage!
I have to say they are awesome I have the spider and mars hydro lighting and they are both great
The gaisma board led’s have a promising looking spectral balance, decent grade chips and a reasonable price point, just pulled the trigger on a 240w to see how it stacks up.
They seem pretty transparent with their numbers and testing, and the chips are 2 fs white Samsung’s, 2 different far red creexpe’s and lg uv chips(not sure if/how well they produce uvb?)
Would an HLG 100 be as good or better than this SF-1000? Considering the HLG is 100 and this SF-1000 is $180.
How do they actually compare.
Holy salesman!
Lol
@@simplifygardening
Ya got me, subscribed!
Go direct to the maker I got my ts600 for £68.00 from Mars Hydro while amazon was charging £100
Seems to me it matters who is testing. Another channel put spider farmer behind mars hydro and hlg as far as specs go.
Ive got the mars hydro here too i still think the spider is better
I have purchased 2 Spider Farmer lights from Amazon. I wouldn't trust Amazon reviews or video reviews. Spider Farmer is pretty shady. They literally tried to pay me to change my review. I can only assume that most people accept the money.
I cant say I have had any problems with the unit. In fact I have the bigger sf2000 on the way too
I agree with you, actual par tests show that they are adding 25% to their ratings at least.
I want reviews from people who spent their hard earned money on this light. Not someone who got it for free in exchange for a good review.
lol I have 6 of these lights I had them long before this review
so for a 4x4 tent you would need 3-4 of these, oof too expensive, ill just stick with Hps .
no 2 of these would be more than enough light
@@simplifygardening 2 wouldnt be enough for a 4x4 that would be 200w 4 would be ideal for a 4x4, i run 2 in a 3x3 and could use another
@@simplifygardening no way dude, in a 4x4 tent you would need 4 of these minimum, and STILL be low par for budding given that at flower you would need to drop the height to 12" or less to get enough par and that lowers the effective footprint. Par map for this product is over 200 par less than their claim. In a 4x4 you would ideally have 6, but for that price get the sf4000, ( $800 vs 6x 200 ) there are better and cheaper options quite literally. Even their own ( over stated ) claims say the sf1000 will bud a 2x2 space MAX, which is true but those huds will be small and not dense
I would not order from spider farmer. i placed an order for 2 of there sf-4000 in April and never received them. Now i'm fighting for a refund of $1,125.79 Not sure what the issue is but people should be warned.
Max I am sorry to hear that. I have never had an issue with getting product from them, nor good customer service
@@simplifygardening They did refund me. I'm looking at some ten bars from Mammoth Lighting. I was really looking forward on those 2 sf-4000's. what made me mad is i received an email from spider farmer informing me my lights would be shipped out next week. here's the message Hi friend,
Thank you for your message.
If you can wait for a little days, we will ship out your light in next week.
If you want to cancel it, we can help you cancel the order.
Have a nice day!
Kind regards,
Spdier Farmer LED
Order through Amazon they back up your money
I had an SF600 watt spiderfarmer light and 3/4 of the diodes don't work and it gave me an electrical shock. I would never buy from this company again and the build quality was bad as is their guarantee, as they want me to pay shipping both ways and handling fees and repair fees! So don't think the 3 or 5 year guarantee will get you a free replacement if it goes wrong after a year as it wont. I have since bought a VIPARSPECTRA P1000 and its so much better than sf600 better build quality dimmable switch etc. So if your thinking of buying spiderfarmer, think again.
Im really sorry to hear that ive not had any issues with all 6 of the lights I have from spider farmer. Im glad your viparspectra is a better option for you
I would probably need 8-12 of these lights in my 12'x12' area to even come close to my 2-1000HID's. So $150USx12 =1,800 and I will b using 1200-1500w of power so idk?
Yeah they pit out huge amounts of light. But cost loads to run
Yes, you shpuld also look at the cost to run those lights per month. Thats like comparing buying a washer & dryer, or just going to the laundromat to wash your clothes, the washer & dryer will cost you more upfront, the theyll save you more in the end...
I was very interesting up until you said they put clear epoxy resin over the LED Samsung chips because this isn't about making them waterproof it's about making it so you can't solder new LED chips in, you'll have to buy whole new light.
Take it from experience I've had great trouble with electronics covered in epoxy resin. I wouldn't be surprised if they had done the same to the transformer to stop you repairing it...?/( sad world we live in)
Without that epoxy the connections would corode in weeks from the humidity
And with that epox you still can solder its just needs a bit more expirience and heat some lite scraping also helps
:-)
sorry YT didnt tell me about your comment. I just found it
Avoid spiderfarmer like covid they dont honor the 5 year warranty not even 1 year warranty. And customer service is atrocious. Check ya warranty
Or just buy Kingbrite and save yourself a LOT of money.
I think these lights are well worth the money
Yup, those lights put out more par, have better footprint and have the exact same diodes, the drivers less efficient but we are talking about like .50c more per month running cost. And half the price.
Not much of a footprint...
No its not but the light levels are very good
@@simplifygardening no, they aren't. Youve not tested this with an actual,par meter. The par map is overstatedby at least 25%
Aluminum or alimineum lol 😆
lol
ALUMINUM! Damit, also their pronounced DI-ODES!
Thanks for the pointer Jeremy :)
Nah it's Aluminium.
Grazie per le tue Recensioni👍
These are Chinese made products. Please consider products from other companies. I can confirm they will fail as a few of mine already have.
Still going strong
I’m glad your product is still working but considering it has only been six months that isn’t anything to be proud of. A grow light should last at bare minimum two years. My set up barely lasted a year and once I finally got a hold of customer service I could not believe that I had to pay for repairs when I’m under “warranty”. The 3 year warranty is very misleading since the true warranty is 90 days and after that you need to pay for shipping and the repair costs. Really enjoyed some of your other content but this video seemed like an infomercial for spider farmer.
Spider farmer is owned by mars hydro. Sending out free stuff to influencers is what they do. These lights are ok, but should be better then they are for using samsung diodes. Warranty service through them is a nightmare, and they only got to where they are by selling trash blurple lights and lying to customers. Hard to get behind them.
No it isn't. Meizhi own Spiderfarmer and there customer service is amazing.
@@FirstnameLastname-gd9nl Mehezi Spiderfarmer GalaxyHydro Roledro Marshydro Philzon Roleandro Viparspectra are all made by the same company Shenzhen lighting Corp. So yes Marshydro does make spiderfarmer. Just like Pepsi makes Mt. Dew but YUM brands outta China owns PepsiCo. But I will say they are still great lights. No matter how they are advertised.

Sorry for the late reply. had some issues with comments not showing that they had not been answered, so I am getting through them. I really like the light and it works fantastic
no grow light is worth the money
... they are pricey just because they are labeled as "grow" lights.
But they do a required task and tbh this has been a great light. so much so I have bought a sf2000 to go with it. I will be doing a video on that shortly too and have one to give away from Spider Farmer
@@simplifygardening i dont deny its a great light !
@@igormarinkovic1531 I do get your point though, they can get pricey
Spider Farmer is the worst led that i ever used!
Why you say that? Ive never had an issue with it and its been real good
Anch'io l'ho acqustata sto coltivando, come test, una Fastbuds Gorilla Cookies Auto e mi ritengo siper soddisfatto per una Grow 80cmx80cm è il Top delle 100w
