Hey what’s going on guys. Im struggling finding a light for my 2x4 grow tent . I’m looking at the grow craft x3 but no body really has any videos of grow on it or the Mars hydro sp3000 what do you guys think. anything better then those ?

Both those lights are good. You get a bit more even light spread with the X3 - but is it worth it to you to pay the extra money? Totally your preference on what you look for in a grow light really. Some look at PAR as most important while others look at efficiency as most important. Either way, both those lights will do great in a 2x4
Either of those lights are great. I have an SP3000. Chilled LED makes a great product as well-
Under the "Equipment" tab above, Mr. GI has a list of lights he recommends-
Don't struggle, all of these choices are quality lights, make a decision and get growing-
Whatever choice you make, look at available charts on the manufacturer's webpage for usage info, because as soon as you get a sprout, your first panic attack is usually along the lines of, "how high does the light need to be and at what dimming level do I use it??" kind of stuff-
make sure manufacturer has provided that info. The Quality ones do-
Also, think about your space and it's usage-
The SP300 is a "bar" style light 44" long, but 5" wide. The X3 is 19.5" wide, also 44 or 45" long.
IF you have a fan and carbon filter inside the tent, THAT height will determine how high you light.
A bar style light, one single bar, depending on positioning, can work around and not be restricted by, the carbon filter, usually the largest, highest thing in the tent-
Doesn't mean they are a "better" light.
Also, several videos on youtube about these lights. You were having trouble?
why I got the SP3000-
