Just changed the room up from soil to hydroponics and so far so good. Running 8 spider farmer LED lights with newly built tables on casters with run off to provide more ergonomics. Very happy with the changes and results.

Update on this room. Running Gelato 41 along the back wall with purple push pop & kush mints and a few red velvet. Love the verity of strains but they are somewhat mixed in to the sea of green set up running. Gelato 41 has also stretched a bit more than I’d like and are almost hitting the lights so I had to bend some of these girls over. Have some mother’s of Kush mints and more Gelato 41 to clone in a portable tent in another room. Next set will run 24 kush mints all on one table, and then 24 Gelato 41 on the other. 4 more weeks of flower to go.

How has your energy bill changed ? Also are those the SF-4000?
Energy bill has changed drastically to allow expansion for more plants per light. Went from 36 plants for total room space with 8 hps, to 50 total under Sf-4000 LED with the same room space. Has been a game changer and saving on electricity bill as well.

Very nice !! Yep looking to scoop 2 more SF-4000 time to leave the old school hps. They drink too much energy also require too much infrastructure to cool unlike those led
