so will these accomplish my goal. Get a couple ounces per plant with auto flowers, and be able to grow 4-6 plants? Have any you guys have experience with these. Any other suggestions. I can only afford around 500 dollars. With the spider farm sf-2000 I can get a whole grow set up for 569 bucks. Right now I have 600 watt king led, its great for veg, but flowering is pretty crappy. Need something way better to meet my needs.

I have 6 SF 2000. I haven't flowered with them yet but so far I love them. Don't really have much to compare to though haha. I have 3 in a 5x5, was considering putting a 4th, but I am hitting 107k lux all over the canopy with them turned up all the way, so the 4th seems like overkill. Good luck with your grow brother.

How many plants under each light?

I am running 6 plants in the 5x5, so 2 under each light. Could probably do more but that's what I got going for the time being. I'm filling a 5x5 with the 6 though, I've been training them to grow into bushes as best I can.

so its basically a 4x2? Based on some formula I got from someone on here, you want at least 30w / sq ft. You'd need 240 watts for that size tent and the 2000 is about 200-210, so you should be fine, however many you want to stick in there. With my 5x5 that formula works out to needing 750 watts, I only have 600-630 in there but I am still able to achieve optimal light intensity, so I don't think that formula is something you have to strictly adhere to, just a basic guideline.

And just as a disclaimer, I am still on my first grow. lol. Did a shitload of research and have been around friends gardens for years, but I am just finally taking the dive now.

As long as its better than my 600 watt king led. That definitely doesn't have the power for high yields.

I did a grow with two of the SF 1000s and one 315 CMH so watt wise about 32 per sq ft and couldn't of been happier. I know it wasn't all led but the watts were more than enough for the space. Good luck with the grow!

Autos seem like a waste of space to me, but it's your grow, not mine. Have you grown indoors before?

Second grow, but first grow was years ago. I like auto because of the less time entailed with them. Like I said I'm aiming only for like 2 ounces a plant
