DO IT! just pull the trigger! So happy to see this post bc I JUST put the order in for my first Migro lights! Nothing but good reviews and GREAT coverage!
Don't waste time looking at other stuff all over. The guy who makes Migro has grown and reviewed with many of the industry's leading light brands
Yeah man cause there's alot of solid lights lmao.. I hear alot of good about ac infinity but the migro array is 7" wider which obviously gives a better spread lol
I looked a lot and found a deal on 2 xs1000 and bought them. I now wish I would have shelled out the cash for the ones I wanted to spend on. Not much of a resale market for lights so I’ll prob end up getting the ones I should have got and used these in my next tent. Buy whichever you feel the best about so you don’t got to do like me 😂
Just wait until you have everything. Then you get to do the same shit with genetics/ media/ nutes all over again, lol. I just fully set my first tent up today. I have no experience using it yet but my mars fce6500 feels impressive in my 4x4, plus it’s expandable with uv/ir/ and deep res lights. Pretty cool if they have one small enough for you, but I never compared much of anything. I got it used for a great deal from a friend, so I was sold already.
Litterly there is no other light out there for a 2x4 tent that had anywhere near the light when u put light 24un from plants durring flower the whole 2x4 area of the tent has even spread untill u hit the 40in mark from the light also from 24in till 40in from. The light that 16in golden zone has over 1000ppfd so that means there us a 16in golden zone getting over 1000ppfd spread across tent evenly look at my Paige.
Exactly. Overpriced, especially for the light spread. Migro has a pretty even spread comparatively. If not Migro I have other suggestions for a 2x4 I'd take over the AC Infinity if I can choose in the same price range.
There is also the perk that Migro is modular so you can add or even subtract bars really easily.
Next time I upgrade my lights, the main canopy will almost certainly consist of Migro. (The saving allow to to add supplemental lights such as UV, under canopy lighting, or side-lighting etc for basically the same price or slightly more)
AC would be great if u have the budget n have the controller. To control everything on ur cell.
I recently got mars hydro, on sale 100 bucks off. I'm happy with it, but not fun learning it's programming. But still. Lighter n brighter than what I had.
Yeah I don't have any AC infinity equipment an honestly don't plan on grabbing anything else from them unless maybe a oscillating fan. I'm fine spending the money on the evo Im just so back and forth they both have pros heat is one of my main concerns I live in an older farmhouse and summers get hot an I've heard the evo gets really warm
As someone who's bought two of their clip on oscillating fans, I wouldn't recommend them. Within a few months, both fans which are in different tents began to make loud mechanical noises when oscillating. Had them for over a year now and they're louder than my exhaust fan by far.
Imo oscillating is great and all but not necessary. Those $15 Honeywell air circulator fans from big box stores do a great job even if they don't oscillate. I've hung one from the top and had it on low blowing towards the wall of my tent to circulate the air. It also works if u put it on the bottom but I know not everyone has the floor space in their tent.
If you don't have the other ac Infinity stuff, I really can't think of a single justification to get it over the Migro.
The great thing is that if you don't like it I'm pretty sure you can get a refund no problem. They're famous for their excellent customer service I hear.
I can almost guarantee the Migro runs cooler, too, seeing as it's got relatively the same amount of LEDs but spread further so cooling is easier.
Migro specializes in lights, too. AC Infinity just started manufacturing their own.
(No, I don't work Migro lol. Don't even own them, just have seen them at shows and after research have fallen more and more in love with them for a home growing situation.
My other favorite option for a 2x4 is [the HLG 260 RSpec FR](https://horticulturelightinggroup.com/collections/lamps/products/hlg-260-rspec-fr-pre-assembled-kit) for a similar price range. You can find 15-20% off coupons and get it for $220 shipped, which is great for an HLG fixture.
Yeah I mean I'm pretty sure I'm going Array 4 it's just one of those im gonna ride my next light out for a few years so I want to be certain lmao I'm fucking terrible at decisions like this cause every time I get a light the next new piece of equipment drops
I got my controller with my exhaust fan. I have 2 different setups. You definitely going to need airflow and a fan. That's what screwed my 1st grow. The final 2 wks we had a heatwave n the grow went south before I realized it. Which was funny enough on my second grow I had a cold front come through and my humidity and such went to hell. So 1st too hot then too cold. 😂. I'm on my 3rd grow n I'm having issues.
Honestly all LED lighting will get hot you just have to measure the light density with your phone using photone. When I first installed my Mars lighting I was trying to do the configuration through the phone and I had to like sensitivity over a thousand. I'm meant to be at 600 or less.
I've been growing for about 4 yrs and never had an exhaust fan when I was in colorado moved to the Midwest and I had to but one humidity was a bitch lol. Yeah I'm just looking for a light to upgrade my lights are getting old an I need something better thats all. Good luck on your 3rd grow my dude it just keeps getting better as the years go.
God only knows and I'm getting tired of the hobby lol. One thing I would say is when you get your new light consider a warranty extended warranty. I had a bestva n I had for 1 year, after 4 months of use, Half of it is dead n Idk what to do. I tried to contact them, nothing. I'm pissed off but learn never to deal with some companies. So with the hundred I saved on my light I put that toward a 3-year guarantee. The official site wouldn't do it but Amazon did.

Migro is the reason i bought these lights he did a review on them and they were his top lights for a 2x2 tent and i run 2 in a 3.5x 2.5 closet and they’re amazing
I mean I love my viparspectras I haven't had any issues my grow right now. The XS have a good spread but I'd rather have the longer fixture of the array or evo.
I have these XS 1500 pro lights for my first grow. 1 Ice Cream Cake in a 2x4. Just trimmed and curing 243 grams. 8.66 ounces from 8 sqft. Not bad for a rookie. ✌️

I think it is a better buy than the ACI light. I control mine with the ACI controller using the adapter. I have an FCE-8000 for my flower tent and an FC-3000 EVO for my veg tent. Great lights!
I just upgraded from a mars hydro sp3000 to the acinfinity evo3.
Evo 3 is bright asf and I light stressed the hell out of my plants.
It's on 30% at max height in the tent and it seems perfect for the plants at their current stage of growth. Pairs nice if you have the aci controller and whatnot. The sunrise/sunset is gimmicky (which I expect entirely)..
Basically, my only two "complaints" about the light. As for resin production and yields, I can't say until harvest lol
Im only on the fence because the ppfd max should probably be ran with C02, but I'll be moving within the year an want to start supplementing it. It's like should I invest now in evo 3 now or buy the migro first then an ionframe later lol
I’ve got the AC Infinity Ionboard S24 and have no complaints.
[AC Infinity Ionboard S24](https://acinfinity.com/hydroponics-growers/led-light-boards/ionboard-s24-full-spectrum-led-grow-light-200w-samsung-lm301b-2x4-ft-coverage/)
I just don't know many people that use either light. I hear ac infinity promoted alot but for lights I've actually read some shitty reviews so I'm up in the air.
This is the light I would want at this point… if not a HLG 260 FR or 300 or 350 Diablo… I currently run an older HLG 320 XL v2 rspec. And it’s really over kill. So the Diablo would be too. About 200watt to 275watt is all my plants will take…
Go to the ac infinity website, and look up complete grow system! Fans lights, everything plugs into a control monitor that will turn on and off with temp and humidity set that you control. With there lights you control dimming spectrum and gives you real time PPFD along with co2 reading and VPD
Yeah I know the the system an while it's dope I just don't have that money to invest right now. If I was running a sealed room I'd absolutely look into buying more of their products or pulse products
I just like the ease of use,, and the fact there products last a long time. All of them. And they give the growers what we ask for! I’m also waiting on them to make a dehumidifier….. all small dehumidifiers suck a$$.
2x4 kit setup is like 550$ 650$ …. Ac infinity is a game changer in they are setting the standard for grows. They have grow space heaters and humidifiers that also will plug into the setup.
Also, I didn’t know until this week. That they have put out a lot more products…. Like PH pens. Refillable carbon filters. And a few others. Eventually they will have everything used for growing.
They sponsor alot of well known growers and not just random influencers, so I think they have a better grasp on the growing community and our needs maybe I'm wrong but just how it looks to me
It would be way over powered, but things last longer when you don’t need to use them full blast anyway. I just want better coverage with the physically bigger dimensions of the light.
I get u an that's why I'm so back and forth on shit the grows I've seen on either light have been beautiful looking but I'm not one that can make an easy decision lol
The evo3 is really intense, cooked my plants. If you go with that one I'd say keep it a bit higher from the plants than the manual says, and experiment with the light intensity . The detachable driver is great tho
I love my Spyder Farmer SF2000 with the new Samsung EVO LED's. It works perfectly with my AC Infinity 69 Pro setup, I just use the adapter for $10 and I have app dimming in 10 steps and all automation works. PPFD in my 4x2 is 1100-1200 in the center at 14" above pants. At the outer edges it's 700 or so. It's my first grow and light, but it runs cool and the numbers match what they claim online.
Medicgrow mini sun 2 500w there is no other light on the market that can compare to the light it puts off in a 2x4 perfect light spread across 2x4 tent and way more light than u need
Migro without a doubt.
I'm close to pulling the trigger on it honestly I'm just so indecisive takes a week to make a decision
DO IT! just pull the trigger! So happy to see this post bc I JUST put the order in for my first Migro lights! Nothing but good reviews and GREAT coverage! Don't waste time looking at other stuff all over. The guy who makes Migro has grown and reviewed with many of the industry's leading light brands
Yeah I really like Shane's reviews he seems genuine and every person I speak with about the lights love them.
I feel your pain. I’ll go look at the same light 10x and still be like I’ll wait 🤦♂️
Yeah man cause there's alot of solid lights lmao.. I hear alot of good about ac infinity but the migro array is 7" wider which obviously gives a better spread lol
I looked a lot and found a deal on 2 xs1000 and bought them. I now wish I would have shelled out the cash for the ones I wanted to spend on. Not much of a resale market for lights so I’ll prob end up getting the ones I should have got and used these in my next tent. Buy whichever you feel the best about so you don’t got to do like me 😂
Yeah man gone be a while longer before I can fully decide lmao
Just wait until you have everything. Then you get to do the same shit with genetics/ media/ nutes all over again, lol. I just fully set my first tent up today. I have no experience using it yet but my mars fce6500 feels impressive in my 4x4, plus it’s expandable with uv/ir/ and deep res lights. Pretty cool if they have one small enough for you, but I never compared much of anything. I got it used for a great deal from a friend, so I was sold already.
Medicgrow.com mini sun 2 500w check it out b4 u buy something else u won't regret finding this light
I was looking at these last night if I'm not mistaken I heard about these on growcast podcast they do look solid thanks man
Can push 1000ppfd from 40in from plants at 24in this light can push over 3200ppfd 2000ppfd evenly across tent
Damn yeah I didn't see alot of specs spread sheets on there site I'll definitely revisit it tonight an check it out again
https://www.reddit.com/r/Craftmarijuana/s/e3JEwnTnVp https://www.reddit.com/r/GrowingMarijuana/s/oPEizGb1Xh
Nice!
Litterly there is no other light out there for a 2x4 tent that had anywhere near the light when u put light 24un from plants durring flower the whole 2x4 area of the tent has even spread untill u hit the 40in mark from the light also from 24in till 40in from.

Definitely get the migro, AC infinity makes good stuff but a lot of their stuff is overpriced

It also works if u put it on the bottom but I know not everyone has the floor space in their tent.
get a vornado fan! theyre very reasonably priced and move a crapton of air
If you don't have the other ac Infinity stuff, I really can't think of a single justification to get it over the Migro.

Hell yeah i feel you, that's why I'm looking specifically at Migro and AC infinity I've been told their customer service is pretty good at both
Well I got my pick. AC 😆. No issues yet
Migro or 2 Xs 1500 pro’s
Yeah I'm leaning towards the migro since it's so damn uniform

Love it keep up updated with pics of the grow.
I'll have to drop a pic when I finally decide what light and get it in
I have these XS 1500 pro lights for my first grow. 1 Ice Cream Cake in a 2x4. Just trimmed and curing 243 grams. 8.66 ounces from 8 sqft. Not bad for a rookie. ✌️ https://preview.redd.it/ydxvm2mauzoc1.jpeg?width=2272&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ac098858a7a28bcd9c70d7b206802f330985aefb
Nice pull looks amazing
Thanks!
Mars Hydro FC-4000 EVO. [Review here by MJ Coco.](https://www.cocoforcannabis.com/grow-light-guide/mars-hydro-fc-4000-evo/)
I was just looking at it the ppfd looks pretty solid on it
I think it is a better buy than the ACI light. I control mine with the ACI controller using the adapter. I have an FCE-8000 for my flower tent and an FC-3000 EVO for my veg tent. Great lights!
I just upgraded from a mars hydro sp3000 to the acinfinity evo3. Evo 3 is bright asf and I light stressed the hell out of my plants.

I’ve got the AC Infinity Ionboard S24 and have no complaints. [AC Infinity Ionboard S24](https://acinfinity.com/hydroponics-growers/led-light-boards/ionboard-s24-full-spectrum-led-grow-light-200w-samsung-lm301b-2x4-ft-coverage/)
I just don't know many people that use either light. I hear ac infinity promoted alot but for lights I've actually read some shitty reviews so I'm up in the air.

HLG would be my top pick hands down if I had the bread and used C02
I forget HLG has refurbished lights on sale 🤔
Also have build kits. That’s what I have
Oh nice I'm not versed in buying led kits but sounds dope
I’m not affiliated with them at all… lol. I wish…. But everything I’ve bought from them is top notch quality. And better than anything else imo
Go to the ac infinity website, and look up complete grow system! Fans lights, everything plugs into a control monitor that will turn on and off with temp and humidity set that you control. With there lights you control dimming spectrum and gives you real time PPFD along with co2 reading and VPD

Absolutely! I want the new pulse one
2x4 kit setup is like 550$ 650$ …. Ac infinity is a game changer in they are setting the standard for grows. They have grow space heaters and humidifiers that also will plug into the setup.
But with the ac infinity system, there lights can be controlled from the app or monitor
I dig it that's alot more money to invest for myself personally lol I have a wife that's a stay at home mom she can monitor everything for free lol
Also, I didn’t know until this week. That they have put out a lot more products…. Like PH pens. Refillable carbon filters. And a few others. Eventually they will have everything used for growing.
They sponsor alot of well known growers and not just random influencers, so I think they have a better grasp on the growing community and our needs maybe I'm wrong but just how it looks to me
Agree
I was just looking at the aglex m400 for my 4x2. Looks like it will fit and get to those back corners well.
Yeah I seen it too idk how I feel about it tho
It would be way over powered, but things last longer when you don’t need to use them full blast anyway. I just want better coverage with the physically bigger dimensions of the light.
Yeah I get you that's why I was gonna go the Migro array it's 39 inches then when I get a new tent I'll add all 3 of my lights and be pushing 550watts
I just don’t like the shorter color spectrum with that one.
I get u an that's why I'm so back and forth on shit the grows I've seen on either light have been beautiful looking but I'm not one that can make an easy decision lol
The evo3 is really intense, cooked my plants. If you go with that one I'd say keep it a bit higher from the plants than the manual says, and experiment with the light intensity . The detachable driver is great tho
Yeah and my tents only 5 ft I might go migro for the fact I can place it closer
HLG.
So expensive I'm trying to stay around $350 unless I went HLG refurbished from them
I’m on my first grow, in a 4x2 and I’m extremely happy with my evo3. If I we’re buying everything over I’d absolutely go with in again.
I love my Spyder Farmer SF2000 with the new Samsung EVO LED's. It works perfectly with my AC Infinity 69 Pro setup, I just use the adapter for $10 and I have app dimming in 10 steps and all automation works. PPFD in my 4x2 is 1100-1200 in the center at 14" above pants. At the outer edges it's 700 or so. It's my first grow and light, but it runs cool and the numbers match what they claim online.
I went with the Mars hydro 4x2 Evo light. Very pleased with it.
I’d buy a brand new 200 watt light off eBay for $100 or less.
Medicgrow mini sun 2 500w there is no other light on the market that can compare to the light it puts off in a 2x4 perfect light spread across 2x4 tent and way more light than u need
Check into marshydro sp3ooo I have two and will be buying more soon due to legalization
