I received my Migro Array 2 Pro for my 70x70 space yesterday. I am delighted. The build quality is instantly noticable. Had it assembled and installed in a matter of minutes. Highly recommended. The guys are very helpful as well.

[@rorymaciver5756]

I would suggest people consider 2 2x2 lights for a 2x4 tent. When I start 6 plants in my 2x4 I use red cups then go to 3 gallon pots. I really only need the 8 sq ft When flowering.Your leds last longer and you save on the electric bill because your not lighting your whole tent when using half your tent in veg.

I have a Grow Light Science Grow 300 in my 4x2 tent and I love it. Tons of light for mature plants and yet easy on the electric bill.

[@dedmeat_2020]

For my first indoor grow I'm using the Grow 300 in my 4x4 and it's doing great. I'm only growing 3 plants at a time (lack of funds for 2 sets of lights), so I'm using the light as if it's in a 2x4. No complaints!

[@roninseppuku2688]

Thats the light, go for it

[@inevitabletruth9808]

If you can get a lil more wattage in ur tent ...you're yield will double .

[@johnwest4674]

On my first run with the newer, PROGROW 320 by Grow Light Science. Have it in a 4x3 ft. Tent. Made PAR maps using the PPFD APP & a UNI-T 301BT. Getting it dialed in. Thanks for being awesome

[@robertreif5992]

I really love the way you do this. It doesn't matter if you make the light. You give an honest assessment. That's so refreshing. Thank you

[@MIGROLIGHT]

Thanks Robert.

[@patrujo]

If one isn’t growing full sun crops like cannabis I’ve been really happy with the fluence ray 44 in a 4x2. I don’t grow weed but I’m flowering English roses, fruiting small figs cultivars and grow alpine auriculas from seed in the winter with this 80w light. 3.5 years running no problems. Micros value calculation would be more interesting if he followed these cheap value lights for 2-3 years to assess long term reliability. I feel at ease going on vacation knowing that this light will not burn my house down. Buy once cry once.

[@roywarriner8441]

I can only fit 2 plants in a 4×2×5. 20l bags, tipped once, 2 pair of branches on each plant manifolded fills the tent.

[@greybush1976]

2x4 tent is great with two Viparspectra 1500 series fixtures. Provides 300 watts and great coverage. I'd like to see your calculations considering this configuration rather than focusing on just one fixture.

[@Mikey-rj1lr]

I use two viper Spectra 300s in my 2x4 for vegging it seems to do fine

Trying to look for a grow led light for a 4x2 is so exhausting. I’ve looked from yours, to hydro, grow choice, mammoth, etc. I’m so flustered. Haha.

[@charleshutchings3010]

I've been using 3 ts600 mars hydro lights in a 36"x20"x60" and heat was horrible, but results were great and electric usage was about 30.00 a month. In same tent I put 3 umax 1000 lights and had similar results and electric usage. Now I bought the grow 200 and no comparison my tent dropped 20 degrees Fahrenheit and my buds are twice as big in diameter I can't wait to harvest to see the dry weight difference and my light bill dropped 12.00 a month

[@Dubslag]

Just bought a MF2000 off you for £136, looks better than the Mars stuff that costs 40% more that I have already.👍

[@skunkgorilla2009]

Nothing is better than the sun 🌞

[@BryanRink]

An extra column summarizing the spread would be nice. Something like standard deviation / average or (max - min) / max could work. Great video, thanks!

[@easytoslip6877]

I think you should have a column in the comparison matrix to describe the light spread over the intended canopy. Maybe coverage uniformity or some other way to describe the light spread across the canopy. You can see this in the PAR charts but it would be good to see a simple summary. I think the spread is undervalued. In my view even light spread is more important than the system efficiency. To me the Mars Hydro SP 3000 is more appealing than the HLG 350R, even though HLG has better system efficiency.

[@easytoslip6877]

Also the Grow 300 needs a PAR chart. It would also have amazing light spread for 4x 2.

[@danlawson3782]

My Mars Hydro LED light started flickering due to wires in the main wire harness connector burning. The connector was very hot to the touch. After sending a lot of pictures and info to Mar Hydro (Janice), they stopped communicating. I am afraid to use it because I don't want to burn my house down! Where is their customer support and warranty?

[@isaacwatrous5808]

Ask and you shall receive . Man Shane, you are awesome brother. Just a day after I ask what's the best light for my 4x2 and you post this !!! Thanks brother 🙏 great vid along with all the others 👌 👍 🙌 keep em coming !

[@dreid5189]

I effectively got 6 array 4s recently in perpetual 4x2 zones. Results looking great but could do with the fixture being more rigid. Been looking up the small lights as I’m looking for a good propagation LED light. Was interested to see a recent-ish video about the blurple type creating good roots for early stages (admitting going against white light thinking)

[@patcorriveau7790]

Blueples are useless compared to the white type full spectrum LEDs man. They're efficiency is like 1.0 to 1.4 compared to all these lights in the 1.9 to 2.6 range, and the spectrum is junk since it lacks any green at all. If your looking for a light for earlier growth , look for a full spectrum that uses only 5000K to 6500K diodes for a more blue color temperature which will do good for sprouts/ veg or even cloning . IMO these full spectrum lights do just fine for seed to harvest or even cloning though, and a special or different light isn't needed. Even A little T5 fluorescent works great for early propagation. If you want strong fast roots , built a DWC cloner, very cheap and easy to build DIY, and grows amazing roots quickly, have 90 to 95% success rates with mine cloning

[@dreid5189]

@@patcorriveau7790 it was this that I came across kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5bXmoNnZ79nrrs I currently use t5 but was looking at changing over to LED (viparspectra 600 from migro small light video review). When I seen that video though I started getting curious about a more blurple type light for rooting cuttings better. I’d looked at building a cloner a while back as it goes but height an issue for me in my set up

[@patcorriveau7790]

@@dreid5189 pretty much any full spectrum light will work great, cuttings do not need much light at all, when I root mine I literally have one of my 100 watt LEDs hung at like 30 inches set to maybe about 15-20% . Right now I just have cuttings I cut lastnight, placed in the corner of my tent without any direct lighting on it whatsoever, and that works well for me I get 90+% success rates even in rockwool . Once I see noticeable roots I'll give them the lighting I mentioned above, about a week later I will keep the 100 watt light hung at about 24" set to 30-40%, and 3 to 7 days later will raise power to about 50% at 20 to 24 inches hanging height, whatever keeps them happiest. As for a DIY cloner, all you need is a short 3 gallon black pail(to keep light out) an aquarium pump ranging from 80 to 120GPH air rate, a couple airstones, some aquarium airline/tubing(black is best) some 1 inch netpots and 1 inch neoprene pucks. Cloners total height is only like 10 inches . If you want more info feel free to ask, I'm always trying to help people in the cannabis community . If you have IG , look up mmjgrowchannel . Not as active as I once was but I have a lot of posts and can DM on there 🤙👊💯

[@dreid5189]

@@patcorriveau7790 I’ve done clones for years under the T5 and get good success rate using root riot cubes. Was more just seeing their results and wondering if they’d stumbled upon the best way for early clones to give better root production for better results later. T5 I pretty much put under full light about 4-6” away with no issues. I’d be dimming any LED though. I run a shelf system with clones at top, I’d pretty much got all the parts apart from jet system but just couldn’t make the height doable for me. Will look at it again if I reconfigure the set up as I fancy a cloner

[@bubbatom1530]

I really like the video, but it seems it's already dated. The GLS 300 is out of stock, and there isn't a no notification for when it will be in. They do have that for their new PROGROW 320 (makes me wonder if they are going to continue to manufacture the 300). Also, your MIGRO no longer has either of the models tested. From what I can gather, the new MIGRO array 4 scores between the old PRO and +RED models.

[@guswhitehouse728]

The Feit light is THE MOST IMPORTANT LIGHT. When u are not a part of the grow light 'algorithm' on google or KZbin you will always get the lowes or home depot products first! They pay to have it so high and its not the kinda of money most other companies spend. So many have these light growing amazingly, in this little bubble never knowing. This feit being here will open so many eyes much earlier. I was going to get a feit light but i got lucky 6 years ago lol

[@willj3145]

I'm amazed chilled growcraft isn't out of business with how drastically over priced their lights are. $1400 for a 330 watt light is robbery.

[@ev25zv]

Have you looked at the stats of that light? It has 4,100 LED's with a shitload of deep red (the most expensive diodes). The regular 330W version is $560, and they have a 200W that is $300.

[@willj3145]

@@ev25zv i dont think the plants care how many diodes are above it. also every light has deep red in it nowadays.

[@ev25zv]

@@willj3145 Yeah, and I don't think plants care about how many joules the sun puts out per second, but they sure as shit grow better in the sun. Why would you think 5x the amount of deep red diodes is insignificant? I mean, it's not the light for me - their 200 watt version for $300 would suit my needs just fine. I just laugh at people on discord and forums crying about cheap Chinese lights and how they don't stand behind their warranties, and then when you have a well-built American light, people want them for Chinese slave labor prices.

[@lok777]

@@ev25zv I do not really understand who is buying these things. yes it has 4k diodes, they will last longer, but it is still just 300 watts. Seems crazy when you can buy a 1000W with a few less diodes for less money.

[@willj3145]

@@ev25zv why would you think 5x the amount of deep reds would be significant to the average grower? Especially for 4x the price. i think 99 out of 100 would rather save $1000 per 2x4 space.

[@gokuzawa268]

Too many important informations missing for fair comparaison. Light uniformity, heat, drivers quality. For example, in all your testing, the migro lights have a very low hanging height, twice less than all others. Is that just to increase the efficiency on the tests, or does it have a better heat dissipation? 50k hours is huge, over 11 years runing 4 runs a year, but bad drivers and overheating can drasticly reduce that number to a couple of years.

[@dwarflord413]
