Spider Farmer SF1000D
#6 in Under 300 WFull review
A low cost, quiet panel for seed starting, herbs and a small 2x2 ft tent. Pick a bar light instead if you want the most light per watt.

4.0/5
A cheap, simple panel for a 2x2 ft tent. Good for a first grow, though a bar light of the same wattage gives noticeably more light.

A light, quiet panel for a 2x2 ft tent of seedlings, herbs or leafy greens. Good value for a first grow, though bar lights use less power for the same light.
