Clone/Seedling Lighting Test
Lately, I’ve been dialing in my propagation setup and decided to try something new with the Spider Farmer SF300. I had high hopes—it’s a popular light in the budget LED space—but my plants just didn’t respond the way I’d hoped. Leaf posture and color were off, and overall vigor seemed diminished. I gave it a fair shot but ultimately returned it.
After some research and comparison, I switched to the Migro seedling/veg light, and the difference was clear. The color temperature feels better suited to early growth, and being dimmable gives me way more control over intensity, which is crucial in the early stages. Since switching, the seedlings look happier—perky, greener, and growing with better uniformity.
Sometimes experimenting doesn’t pan out, but this was a solid reminder to trust my instincts, and more importantly—listen to the plants.
Took Polar Gelato clones today as well.
