As a result, you will want to use an external fan in your grow room to keep air circulating around the fixture. This is especially true of the two larger models. They are not available as DIY kits, like HLG quantum boards, but the ready-made SF fixtures sell for a lower price, so DIY wouldn’t make nearly as much sense anyway. The SF-7000 uses 650 watts from the outlet, despite the 7000 number in the name. Compared to other similar LED grow lights for 5×5 feet, the SF-7000 has the same wattage as the HLG 650R, and slightly more than the HLG 600, both of those grow lights cover a similar sized area. The power efficiency is also similar to other 5×5 foot coverage grow lights.

Spider Farmer grow lights are a modern quantum board design. If you don’t know what quantum board grow lights are yet, there are a few features that distinguish them from more traditionally designed grow lights: Energy Efficient To further fine-tune the distance between LED grow lights and plants, it is better to start with small-scale trials. This involves setting up a few plants at varying distances from the lights and observing their response to different light intensities. By measuring plant growth, vigor, and overall health, growers can identify the distance that yields the best results. These grow lights are more energy efficient than traditional LED grow lights. That’s partially due to the fact they don’t use cooling fans. Another reason is the LEDs they used in these designs are newer versions of diodes compared to grow lights that were designed years earlier but are still for sale today. The SE-3000 is designed to grow cannabis plants from seedling to harvest in a 3×3 foot grow space. It uses Samsung LEDs which are preferred by many growers. This is one reason why you may pay a little bit more for this grow light compared to the no-name brands. The Meanwell driver is also the top quality driver in the industry.Spider Farmer SF fixtures have a mix of 3000K and 5000K white diodes, with additional 660 nm deep red and 760 nm IR diodes. The SF-7000 also includes infrared and ultraviolet LED diodes which are beneficial for cannabis plants. These extra diodes are not commonly included on many grow lights, adding extra value to the SF-7000. Folding Light Board: The SE-5000 is designed to grow cannabis plants from seedling to harvest in a 4×4 foot grow space. At 480 watts of true power, this grow light has anywhere from 30 watts to 80 watts of extra power compared to other comparable grow lights for 4×4 feet of growing space. The SF-2000 uses 200 watts from the outlet, despite the 2000 number in the name. Compared to other similar LED grow lights for 2×2 feet, this is a little bit lower. Other grow lights go up to 300 watts. The power efficiency is similar to other grow lights. Personally, I prefer COB lights with additional diodes to add extra blue and red to the spectrum, but quantum board lights are a very close second.

True Wattage: The bar design spreads the light more evenly across the canopy compared to the more compact square design seen on grow lights like the SF series. Don’t get me wrong, the SF Series will perform great in your grow tent, the Spider Farmer SE Series are just another of many options available to home growers. DAISY-CHAIN DIMMING: The daisy-chain function allows you to connect up to 30 spider farmer grow lights - dimming multiple lights simultaneously. Widely applied in the commercial growing (horizontal and vertical), climate rooms, house garden, home grows (grow box and tents), greenhouse cultivation, pipeline cultivation, hydroponics. But UV is really only useful for the last few weeks of flowering (more on the effects of UV here), so I always say it makes more sense to just get fluorescent UV tubes if you want to add ultraviolet light to your grow.

The white diodes give you light in every wavelength, with the 3000K diodes providing more reddish light and the 5000K providing more blueish. The Spider Farmer SE5000 is a perfect LED Grow Light for connoisseur growers who demand the best and like to push the boundaries of what is possible from a plant. This is one for those Cali flavour hunters and growers who demand the best. The Spider Farmer SF-1000 flowers a 2×2 foot area, or 3×3 foot area during the vegetative phase of growth. Based on the intensity readings provided by Spider Farmer, you should be able to get medium to maximum yield for one cannabis plant (2×2 foot space) with the SF-1000. That’s enough about lights, let’s touch on the farming tents. Many fans loved how compact Spider Farmer tents were. One customer said, “ This Tent is fantastic! I’ve had several tents now and this is probably the nicest constructed one I’ve had! If you want a small discreet tent then look no further!”

The Spider Farmer SE5000 LED Grow Light is equipped with a detachable driver, allowing for improved airflow and ventilation by storing it outside the grow area. This feature not only reduces temperatures but also increases headroom within your grow tent, providing maximum space for your plants and minimizing space occupied by bulky equipment. DIMMABLE FULL SPECTRUM: Full spectrum ( 660-665nm, 2800 – 3 200K, 4800-5000 K ) is perfect for veg to flower all cycl. The dimmer knob is ideal for growers to adjust the light intensity according to different growing stages. To sum up, the preferred grow light distance ranges from 12-36 inches, depending on which stage of growth your cannabis is in. Importantly, you should fine-tune the distance to achieve the perfect balance of light intensity and coverage through experimentation and observation. FAQs about How Far Should LED Grow Lights Be from Plants But the SE-7000 has more red in the spectrum than the SE-3000 and SE-5000 to make up for it. I’m not sure why Spider Farmer decided to do this but it’s an interesting choice. The reach of grow lights, including LED grow lights, depends on their specific design and the angle of light dispersion. LED grow lights are typically designed to provide a concentrated and directional light output, allowing them to reach the plants from as short as 2 inches to up to 2 feet or more.

FULL SPECTRUM & DiMMING DAISY CHAIN】 Full spectrum (660-665nm,2800-3200K,4800-5000K) is perfect for veg to flower, fits for all growth stages. Dimming knob easily to adjust light intensity.
