Hello everyone! I'm the OG HotBunz. I can't get into my old account so had to start over with this one. I am working on gathering up equipment to start up a 2x4 grow. If anyone cares to look back at them as far as I recall I had the largest Mephisto Sour Crack and Grape Crinkle. My game plan is DWC using simple General Organics nutes. I will be putting together another cabinet similar to what I did before. Most likely repurposing a wardrobe or armoire. This allows my grow space to blend into my house a little better. It's been 5 or 6 years since I did any growing. At the time COB LED's where the big deal in the lighting game. I scrapped my nice custom COB LEDS years ago. Looking around it looks like LED diode strip lighting has made leaps and bounds in light output and are the next big thing in lighting. So I am hunting for a 2x4 setup . I am really leaning towards the Spider Farmer SE4500. Reviews seem all good on this light rig. What are the thoughts of users here? Is there another light I should be looking at?
Back in the game.....need 2x4 lighting advice!

You'll get other's opinions, but depending on wants and needs you should be able to grow half a pound+ every ~90 days relatively easy in there for less than that SF...a 300w bar light like a Mars Hydro SP3000 would be less than ~$200 right now on sale and with the AFN discount stackable, fwiw

My last two Grape Crinkles were over 12oz dry each. I can't remember the exact output of my lights back then but it was less than 300w total. I'll take a look into the Mar Hydro SP3000.

I have this light, and its one of the best watt/$ ratios out there for a name brand.You'll get other's opinions, but depending on wants and needs you should be able to grow half a pound+ every ~90 days relatively easy in there for less than that SF...a 300w bar light like a Mars Hydro SP3000 would be less than ~$200 right now on sale and with the AFN discount stackable, fwiw
It includes a wifi dongle, but there are potential security risks with that. I use a mechanical timer.
When I got mine the code on the mars hydro site gave more discount than the AFN code, so try any codes you have and see whats better.
199 shipped no tax.
@HotBunz1....... Welcome home.....
Your old account is there.....do you want me to try reactivate it......?........
@Mossy I dug a little deeper and realized I had an email address I also hadn't used in several years. It was what AFN awas linked with. I was able to reset my old password and was able to get into my old account and will pick up where I left off on it. It's good to be back. I plan on getting my first new grow log started in a couple of weeks.

Thanks for the input. It looks like the best discount code I can find is 3% off. Ends up being $203 and some change. I'll get it order and on it's way.
Did you make a decision on this light yet?
