Good to see this side by side. I'm actually considering led but I'm thinking the ts3000 for my 3x3 trays. Wonder how it compares to the sp3000

not that i have any complaints about my ts3000 but the sp line is much better quality and i feel like the sp's have better penetration...


that said the sp3000 wouldn't cover 3x3 very well in flower,footprint too long and not wide enough

Yep not sure a sp3000 would fit in a 3x3, maybe longways but it wouldn't be ideal like unc said.

So I like the bud structure on the sf4000 side, nugs are denser, as if that were possible, vibranium grows dense ass nugs no matter what, type of nugs you drop and the clank, hence the name. Crystal coverage looks seems slightly more on sp250 side. lookin forward to giving people the blind smoke test...
One week left, they on straight up H2O...

Here's the game changer at this price point

Dont know if I trust that. Its not very good marketing to just tell people your shits the best without any par readings or examples. Were jus supposed ta trust this goofy lookin dude cuz he got a jolly smile? Lol. Then when u go on the site it says samsung lm301b OR LumiLED, so wut is it? And doesnt even tell how many diodes being used. Either shady or just bad marketing, either way I’ll pass. Wonder how long it will last being held by its wires. Lol! Plus 300+ for a 2x4 area?
If your after cheap kingbrite from alibaba prolly be the way to go, heard good things from them, lots of happy customers. Basically just cutting out the middle man.

Getmo how's the penetration ? Getting under the trellis? What's the hanging height?

Nugs are rock hard on both sides the whole way down, but vibranium kinda notorious for this, did the same thing under a 315cmh and outside last year so hard to tell. I usually would raise it to about 20 inches then wait till it got within 16 inches and raise it again, so I think both sides can be within 16 inches but manufacterer recommends more. Right now finishing up its 16 inches o the closest top.

He's been testing leds for a good while, but this is his own design. They are available in 3 different diode mixes which may have confused you.


I agree more 411 is needed to impress us

Yeah he must be assuming people who watch the video know him and his reputation. He needs to show tests n be more specific on details if he wants to be taken serious. really dont like the design tho, it looks flimsy.


Heres a lil update, some closeup shots...
