I was looking at lights today. I really cant make my mind up do i go with a kit or get they 3 main parts ( ventilation, light, tent. I believe i have figured out the right tent. .It's a 3x3 , tho i would love to do a 2x4 . I just can't afford to go that high. The air system an ventilation i believe i have narrowed down. The light is my biggest stump. Price an need of something soon is playing a big factor.

That’s a nice light. Got it with my kit and my ladies have been loving it.

Right on!

Great video!!!

Nicely done.

Thanks Duane!

I like my s33 in my 3x3 flower tent. I'm going 2 change it for a evo4 for the better red spectrum

[@TNBNaturals]

Love the channel 🎉🎉🎉

[@PhillyJuggalo]

Hey Aaron keep your eye open for the Ion-Grid 4x4 light is supposedly releasing early October - early November. It’s supposed to be one of the best on market and the newer version of the Ion-Board lights. Loved the video though, keep up the amazing work. Have a great month everyone, Namaste.

[@HappyHydro]

Sounds good and I will definitely do that!

[@kevinschmidt7667]

Which is better the ionboard s33 or that marshydro fc3000 or the spiderfarmer sf3000? ​@HappyHydro

[@tgs354]

Thanks Aaron great videos. The question I have is how many plugs are needed for the 4x4 complete system grow tent. Also, how many feet off the floor should they be placed? Thanks again!

[@HappyHydro]

Hey! I would say 4-5 outlets would be needed to run everything in the tent depending on your needs. As far as how many feet from the floor, are you referring to your outlets or items in the kit?

[@Tossabrick]

Hello i have a question would running it a 60 be enough to flower in the 3x3 successfully

[@Oheeeoh]

Once you try a bar light, you'll never go back to a quantum board. I'm a little surprised AC infinity made a new board light.

[@tombeierle25]

My only issue so far with my s44 is the knob broke off like 3 days in but I just popped it back on and it’s fine. Also them calling it “4x4” when it’s clearly 2x2 is a bit misleading because I realized they mean it as in “for the 4x4 tent” but label it as 4x4

[@HappyHydro]

Yea they are constantly tweaking and upgrading so it is tough to keep up with the lingo lol

[@AyaxMX]

Hello! Do you use the recommended mounting heights charts in the user manual?

[@HappyHydro]

Yea, it's definitely a good starting point! Always remember to see how your plants are reacting in case you have to adjust any light levels or hanging heights.

[@timm_3r]

I would have to get 2 of these. Par seems kinda low for 1 foot away at 100%.

[@HappyHydro]

Yea I can see what you mean

[@johnharding1694]

Would you recommend two of these or the EVO8 for a 5x5:tent

[@HappyHydro]

Are you planning on doing more of a vertical grow or a sea of green technique?

[@Kamon67]

Great video ! I just bought the 4x4 kit that come with the ionboard S44. I read in few places that this board may be too small for a 4x4 space tent. What is your thoughts on this ? Does 400w enough for a 4x4 tent ?

[@tombeierle25]

That should absolutely be enough. They say they’re equivalent to the old 1000 watt Hps bulbs which I’ve seen 3 of those grow 80 plants. So the s44 should absolutely be able to handle a nice big 4 plants.

[@ftbbigjay4158]

Can’t find nothing on my s44 😢

[@B.White70]

But have you seen their Ionframe EVO series yet?

[@HappyHydro]

Not yet but very soon!

[@benmeadows391]

Liked and Subscribed! Question- Would you conclude that the light is strong enough to grow some serious quality stuff? I am tempted to invest in this set up because I keep running into the issue of having too much heat in my tent and not knowing how to fix it without taking away more light than I need to be taking away. Im running a 4x4 right now with the front door wide open and an air conditioning unit pointed at it which is not ideal because a ton of light is leaking out. Getting the 3x3 with the AC infinity LED and the electronic control system seems like it would be the easiest thing to do but I dont want to take that route if it means compromising on my lights. Do you think this light is on par with what Spider Farmer and Mars Hydro have going on?

[@HappyHydro]

Oh boy there is a lot to unpack here. But the quick and short of it is this. The UIS system that connects all of the AC Infinity products together is really intuitive and helpful for growers to control their environment and they make some pretty good products. With that being said, Spider Farmer/Mars Hydro started off as a light company, making and improving on LED Lights. They also have removable drivers if heat tends to be a problem. Do you currently have any environmental control setups in your 4x4?

[@Jsherrod78]

Can the ballast be removed and set outside the grow area?

[@HappyHydro]

Hey! No, the ballast is attached

[@Jsherrod78]

@@HappyHydro Thank you for the reply 🙏.

How long is the cord?

[@HappyHydro]

Its only about 4'6"...or 137.16 cm since someone yelled at me about using the metric system too lol

[@burnoneortwo7791]

Would you need two of these for a 3x3? Or would one of their s44's work for the 3x3?

[@HappyHydro]

You would most likely only need one for the 3x3 tent. I haven't gotten my hands on the S44 yet to give a good answer!

[@burnoneortwo7791]

@@HappyHydro How about another fan for the 3x3? Would you recommend?

[@Wethelees369]

Would this light suit a 2x2 tent good ? What is the perfect watt for a 2x2

[@HappyHydro]

The dimensions of this light will fit a 2x2 but most lights for that size are about 100W. This light will be more powerful than most so keep that in mind when deciding what plants you want to put in there!

[@Wethelees369]

@@HappyHydro thanks HHydro, I wasn't sure if the 240w would be to much power but then I can dim it down can't I ? Better to have more watt then not enough I guess

[@HappyHydro]

@@Wethelees369 My thoughts exactly!

[@dynasty2146]

I’m getting this for my 2x2 in about 1 week. I’m running co2 so the extra ppfd push will be ideal for me.

[@tall8743]

If people say this isn't enough for a 3x3 , you really need to evaluate your cultivation skills . Because it's enough to veg and flower 4 plants + and harvest 4 Oz per plant .

[@curve5746]

Why would you ever need to dim a grow light?

[@HappyHydro]

A lot of people prefer to use one light from veg to bloom and sometimes the light is just too bright for young plants. This way you can hone in on what works best at any stage!

How many watts

[@MattG5050]

That par map is actually pretty bad. Its way too hot in the middle with a hard drop off to the corners.

[@HappyHydro]

That's a fair assessment, I appreciate you weighing in!

[@Noticerofthings]

But this is a 4x4 tent in the video and the light is made for a 3x3

[@BobbySouthBlvd]

@@Noticerofthingsthanks for pointing that out. Would the 4x4 tent with the S44 be a solid choice? I’m torn on buying everything separately or a kit. I was planning to buy the 4x4 AC Infinity tent kit but I’m weary of the light. Some people say the Ionboard S44 is great while others say it’s not. I could try it and then swap it out if I’m not satisfied but I’d rather not go through that. Also I don’t want to keep the light 12” away in case the ladies have a growth spurt. I was looking at the Mars Hydro tent as well simply because it sounds like their lights are better. The Mars 4x4 comes with the FC4800. It sounds like people like the bar style lights over the boards. Any input would be great. Thanks everyone!

[@BobbySouthBlvd]

@@HappyHydrojust liked, subscribed and have the bell active. It appears you have some awesome videos. Thank you for all of your work. I used to grow about 15 years ago and I loved it. I did very well for only doing it for 2 years. Since then, the living situations wouldn’t allow any growing. Now it’s legal to do so and I have some space. So I’m starting up again. Could you see my question in this thread and give your input please. I’ve been researching lights for days and can’t decide on what to do. Thanks in advance!
