Lighting Led grow light indoor auto suggestions

[PotDaddy]

I love growing outdoors just not sure about indoors. There's a chance I might like it more. Appreciate your insights

I liked outdoors but i prefer growing indoors.
it's nice not being at the mercy of the weather and worrying about a early frost.

I am in the same boat. Been researching like crazy right now. Some of the youtube videos and reviews all seem to suggest the mars hydro ts1000 is a great light. Just depends on the size of the tent you are trying to light more than anything from what I've learned. Match your light to your space and how many plants.

I am currently considering the migro 120 array. It's a significant price jump from the mars ts1000. Budget is important. I may end up with the mars light in the end. I saw the spider farmer xx1000 which is almost identical to the mars but more than one online video were quite unfavorable in some quick testing.

I did not read the whole thread but the migro aray is working pretty dope. The chilled X1mini is working well also. I may order more.

If I did it again is a 24x24 or 28x28 i would be doing 2 chilled X1 minis.

Starting my first auto tent indoor grow. And lights suggestions for a all in one germination veg / flower light? Im a beginner indoor grower so not sure if i will stick with this long term so budget friendly is preferred but want it to be worthwhile. Grateful for suggestions please

What size tent will you be growing in? This is going to be the biggest determining factor in light choices.

I will 2nd that! The last couple outdoor grows I had passed me off so badly, I don't know if I will ever grow outdoors again. Issues with slugs and snails munching on my plants... rainy damp weather every single day for weeks... I will probably give it 1 more try but if that doesn't work out, it will be indoors from now on!

I think outdoor weed can be stronger just not as pretty usually.

I just remember losing a whole crop due to 3 days of rain in mid/late september.
It would be nice to have a legal outdoor spot but I will stick to my tent.

I think the new lights from Migro would be a great choice But there are a lot of great choices right now.

The new lights from Marshydro the FC series are legit also. Lots of different flavors take your pick!
Go talk to @MarshydroTina she can help you figure out what you need.

The spider sf1000 has the Samsung diodes vs mars ts 1000 is not. I bought the mars ts1000 mostly because it had a dimmable driver which spider sf1000 did not.

Before I even used it I found this site and was blow away with the wattage @BigSm0 was running with his autocobs and they yield these lights were producing from several members on this site.

I bought 2 autocobs (60 watts) which will run my 2x4 tent with less wattage than a single ts1000 uses, and I would need 2 of the mars ts1000 to cover the same size area a 2 autocobs.

There probably might be better lights than autocobs, but I was sold when I read through the autocob threads in the lighting vendor section, and that made up my mind. They are preforming very very well thus far.
