Spider Farmer SF-1000 C2 is a redesign of the hugely popular SJ-1000 original LED grow light. Let's discuss the light, PPFD maps, hanging heights, hours per day, temperature readings, electrical watt testing, and daily light integrals. Regarding recommended grow lights for Hydroponic Farming at Home, the Spider Farmer SJ-1000 C2 is one that am excited about for the 2 foot x 2 foot grow space, or 3 foot x 3 foot for several other applications like seeding, vegging, or young plants or microgreens. If you are doing hydroponics for beginners DIY or using purchased systems, this should apply.

Hydroponic Farming at Home also depends on the varieties of vegetables and flowers for optimum growing. The hydroponic setups can benefit from selections that are more optimized for the conditions of home hydroponics versus traditional crops outdoors in fields. When running profits or productivity measures based on square feet or square meters of space allotted towards growing, look at cost per square foot and output. You will want to have the most return on the dollar or other measures of return on investment. Hydroponic Farming at Home for small spaces will often mean focusing on microgreens, long harvest plants, or micro dwarf plants. Since you will be lighting your grow rooms or grow areas, cost per plant is often better with small plants and higher production. Often times, hydroponic farming at home includes growing in rooms, basements, grow tents, attics, or small outside or backyard homes. Roof tops are also included. So many big city or urban garden investors need guidance also. Be sure to subscribe to my channel to learn more about hydroponic gardening at home. Your hydroponic farming questions are welcomed. I am always looking to get more productivity on smaller areas. Also, I am always looking to get more productivity from less energy and less electricity. As a benefit to many, Professor Bernie Kratky taught me several cost savings benefits for growing crops. I have primarily expanded on his teaching in the realm of fill and forget passive hydroponics as a means of growing not just greens, microgreens, or lettuce, but to grow fruiting crops like tomatoes, peppers, squash, strawberries, and many other crops. The Kratky Method developed by Purdue University graduate, B.A. Kraty, with insights from William Frederick Gericke: who was, by the late 1920's growing enormous tomato plants in early hydroponic method. I also was fascinated in communicating with Maureen Mecozzi, who worked for the AVRDC at the time. A lot of work has been done in the Philippines with Styrofoam cups and containers in the growing of food crops. Information indicated there are over on million soil-less culture units operating in the United States for the production of food alone. Russia, France, Canada, South Africa, Holland, Japan, Australia and Germany are among other countries where hydroponics is receiving much attention. Howard Resh has been another influence, along with his pioneering research in hydroponics.

I've been using a segment of a roll of Reflectix to put around the grow areas. Keeps a lot of the light back to the plant. Lowes has it. I like the 2' wide and 3' wide rolls.

@@MattGarver yes..unfortunately I accidentally had 6 buttercup squash seeds sprout when I was fermenting the seeds..lol..so I'm just having fun with the tower I built...I've got got huge beautiful females..no pollen making males which is backwards.. But the plants are gorgeous and let's me know this tower is visible for many many plants in the future. I owe your builds a lot of credit for making me want to try growing squash...I'm thinking I might try to see if I van get lucky and pollinate a variety like patty pan...or maybe beans..this tower could even do a dwarf corn fairly easy!

I'm curious how you detach the driver from the panel. I haven't found a way to do it. I imagine you'd also need a longer cord as cable from the driver to the panel is pretty short.
@MattGarver
Жыл бұрын
You are correct that the cable is short. My driver is attached with four Phillips screws. If you remove those and run your light cord up vertically, it will give you some separation from the board. With my heat gun, I am not noticing a significant amount of heat though.

No problem, you're welcome. Good question, I think it's a bit of a shame I would like to have an "old" SF 4000. But it is no longer displayed to me. That's why I choose 2 SF2000, when I have the coupling I have a SF4000. In addition, I remain more flexible
