1. I literally just rewired my SF2000 and VS XS1500pro so that my driver is outside of my tent. Temps have dropped by almost 5 degrees compared to 100% with the driver inside the tent. The the XS1500pro is 1.5yo and SF2000 is 3 years old and i hope to get 3 more years out of it. The newer diodes are only slightly more efficient, not worth the upgrade

2. 4×8 tent
   480w mars bar light
   Gualala robotics 6' track and motor

   4×4 coverage in a 4×8, EXTRA 5w/hour for the mover, Instead of A SECOND LIGHT.
   Best move ever.
   Reduces shading, promotes penetration of light. (Angles)
   I run 3 monsters in there. The mover is key (no yo-yos tho🤷🏽‍♂️)

3. Bruh samsung is from Korea and Korea is a developed nation with a top 10 economy, we aint china hahaha 😆

4. When i was your age we had to grow cannabis by TORCH LIGHT! And we LIKED it that way!😅

5. All am gonna say Japan Expo 85 cherry tomato shrub grown into 12ft tomato tree

   Atmospheric pressure change

6. Beeder and or crossing strains and or cultivars. ( no male hunting involved anymore) are like White Widow, Gorilla Glue, Skunk, Ruteralis, Northern lights

7. Anyone know the name of the song these guys play at the beginning of their streams sometimes it has the lyrics "watch the sunrise while in my ride smokin drugs" like a chill rap song

8. Spider farmer se 7000 drivers suck . Bought 2 at same time ran for 1 year at 80 % both driver failed a month apart. Spider farmer replaced one for free the other was 105 bucks they need to go back to meanwell drivers the sf4000 got years on it still going.

9. I Had 6" parabolic reflectors with a Whirliegig Sun Circle moving 2 1000 watt lights in a circle and a sun Trac moving 1 light back and forth 6' . Light movers work with LED's now too getting more coverage with plants getting enough DLI with these bar light now! Super way to get more for your money! ! light in a 5 x 10 but rooms are better. My 1st LED's were COB's

10. My light is Canadian with the same diodes as other lights but way more of them. So my light is bigger just saying.

11. lol love how out of touch you are boys China use robots for assembly of all leds on to bords lol 😆😂

12. Great topic guys I have been only growing near 4yr and almost every light you have mentioned I've tried. I learned the hard way but now I can say that the most important thing is lighting. Can I ask you to discuss when should you start the countdown for the beginning of flower. Is it from the day you switch to 12/12 or when you see the first signs of pistols preflower as I have always waited for the first sign of pistols rather than the day of 12/12.Thanks guys stay lifted peace out from Scotland 🦍🌱🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

13. Having 280-watts with the EVO3 in my 2×4 is amazing, man they've come a long way, we used to have three 1200-watt HPS in a 10×12 room in 2012…real hot. LED's are unreal now, they win in so many areas.

14. In Asia they’ve got the massive tech facilities for manufacturing these diodes. I doubt there’s a lot of woman and children doing anything in this industry.
    For example almost all the silicone chips in the world are made in Taiwan. They’ve got massive factories making cpu/gpu chips there and I wouldn’t be shocked to hear that diodes are in a similar boat

15. I’ve got a SF G8600 in a 4×4, an SF SE4500 with 2 SF UV/IR in a 2×4, and an AC Infinity Ionboard S33 in a 2×2. It may be overboard but I’ve been extra my whole life 😂

16. What is up my growmie bros 😎

17. 🤘😎👍

18. I appreciate the conversation, definitely a good episode to enjoy with a morning "coffee".

19. Can’t run high humidity with cheap lights. Moisture breaks em.

20. And a innovative idea is auto rotating turntables for full light exposure, sorry screeners

21. I have a light of cre.science (the german company). I have the Slim Square with cSpec enhanced. Lovin them

22. Digital timer with battery backup

23. The non dramatic start of LED vs our old HID ballasts, the lights igniting 😮

24. Plasma. 3500 dollars. Its a steal. Can touch the metal shroud over light and OT WONT BURN YOU.

25. I have a Canadian brand light. GML. But, yeah the parts are made somewhere else I'm sure lol

26. I have my old 600hps Sunlight Supply with tempered glass hood. I tried digital Ballast and it would cut off for no reason. My original loud magnet Ballast is bulletproof 🤣 Now I have 2 HLG 350R Diablos. Best investment I ever made! If you know……you know!! Great show!!🎉

27. I miss the days of adjust a wings lol, man those were the days 2001 to 2006 💪..

28. Samsung is Korean not Chinese

29. Perhaps some form of fiber optic lighting? 360 lighting? Filtered lasers? Sulfur bulbs? Plasma bulbs? Gas discharge tube lighting on a grander scale? Lighting is surprisingly not advancing as quickly as one might hope. A stoner needs to invent the next wave of lights. I would like to see a light capable of regulating ideal light intensity and temp across the canopy using sensors and quantum. A tent like space that adapted to the plant throughout the grow would be nice too.

30. I remember starting with hydro and used those freaking super hot metal halide, then getting out and coming back and realizing that LED is actually good. Now, two tents later, both running all the newest stuff, and its amazing. Great episode guys

31. They sell led grow lights at Wal-Mart – harbor freight and home depot now. Not the most powerful but they are cost efficient for people who don't have the financial resources to buy higher wattage lights to put it simply people do what they can afford to do 50 yrs ago some of us used 100 watt incandescent bulbs and liked it lmmfao. You young people are living in the golden age of herb while people my age on the way out survived the dark ages of prohibition .

32. Spider farmer and Mars hydro are NOT budget lights. Medic grow are budget lights as I got my 1000 watt ez 8 for $470 o.t.d. Samsung diodes ta'boot!

33. In my 4×8 tent the kinda modern blurple led side does better in veg vs modern mars hydro led side…same wattage

34. Yeah I got a AI coming too It's called the 01 light You should look it up I'm gonna use it to grow

35. Guys a watt is a watt. Stoner’s shouldn’t talk technically.

36. I’m back to using mechanical timers, I used to use smart plugs but my router died and the plugs won’t sync up with the new router. The old timers still work fine.

37. Story time. I started growing back in 91. Buddy and I took 5 or 6 hps fixtures from the local super market who were throwing them away . They were replacing them all with new , remodeled the entire store.
    Anyways, they were all 1000 watt high pressure sodiums with the orange redish hue. We had to rewire them all and insert with 110 plug ins grounded. I dont recommenddoing any of this btw. Not recommended. And we ran 1 of those in an upstairs closet in my house at the time. My buddy managed to get hold of a few seeds of Northern Lights from a cali grower. This was when it was the very best and famous strain first come out. We grew the 3 that popped and when bloom time came around , it was usually me that would have to manually go and unplug the light. Every night at 8 oclock. Lol 8 because it was easy to remember. But yeah every night for I think for like 70 some days. I was maybe 18 yrs old. Lol that was my introduction to growing indoors, illegal hahaha. Been doing ut ever since. Btw leds were a game changer. Alot of ,I believe, toadys growers ,, wouldn't be growing if wasnt for leds. That was always a big deterrent.
    Peace😂

38. Im 62 years old watching you from central KY i love your videos ❤

39. Lights need to be self levelling and have motorized hangers that can be app controlled and Quantum sensor controlled.

40. That’s how they busted most people around here was the power company reporting huge power bill spikes!

41. Hell ya another super show .it really helps making us feel like we are just chillin with brothers and bullshitn

42. First grow I helped with over a decade ago was under hps in a fake room built into a basement. 6 years ago i helped a homie do a few runs under some blurples in another hidden room in a basement. My states legal now and I feel spoiled with my 720w bar light in a 4×4 in my room with no worries and no problems. Times have changed.

43. bridgelux where used in marshydro
