Spider Farmer SF7000 LED VS ECO Farm V3 600W SAMSUNG LM301H Quantum Board Comparison
Spider Farmer SF7000 LED VS ECO Farm V3 600W SAMSUNG LM301H
Quantum Board Comparison
Discussion: The Spider Farmer SF7000 LEDs and ECO Farm V3 600W SAMSUNG LM301H Quantum Board incorporate very similar designs and compete with one another directly. While many of the specifications are very similar there are a few which vary significantly.
Of particular importance are the brand and quality of LED diodes used by each model. The Spider Farmer utilizes Seoul White, Blue, and Red diodes which are of high quality and made in South Korea, and have very impressive PAR efficiencies equal to (2.58 umols/J). The ECO Farm utilizes Samsung brand Samsung LM301H+CREE 660+LG UV+CREE, which have very impressive PAR efficiencies equal to (3.03umols/J). The Samsung LM301H is claimed to have the world’s best PAR efficiency, so the ECO Farm fixture is more likely to stand the test of time. The Spider Farmer has a couple of advantages over the ECO Farm including the ability to control dimmability of up to 15 fixtures daisy-chained together. Also appears to have the ability to be mounted closer to the crop’s canopy without affecting PAR distribution as significantly.

Improper use of UV IR may have a negative effect on your plant.
Proper use of UV IR-containing luminaires to ensure your plants grow better and get more trichome density and THC content.
The role of UV: Increasing the THC content of plants, only be used in the last two weeks of the flowering stage, and if be used at other times in the plants, may have a negative effect on plants.
The role of IR: Increasing the number of flowers, only be used in the early flowering period and stopped once buds begin to appear. This requires the IR and UV must be individually controlled.
