As space constriants are getting to me, I went and built a 20x20 or so platform over my head, I'm making a tree farm, with a layer of water, and then dirt on top for the trees. Can I get spiders? I'm playing on normal and wondering if I need some lumium in there.
If you make the farm grass instead of dirt, just add torches in the corners and no mobs will spawn. There's something in the coding that makes grass layers uniform in terms of light levels.
Good question. I'd suggest a different approach for a mob farm though.

Firstly, you don't need water for trees. It doesn't even help growth. It does bugger all. Save yourself the trouble, and get rid of the water.
So, mob spawning rules:
- Peaceful mobs can only spawn on grass in light level 9 or higher
- Hostile mobs can only spawn in light level 7 or lower
- For a mob to spawn, there must be solid ground with two blocks of air above, even for spiders, pig, and chickens
- Half steps, water, glass, and fences do not count as solid ground, and so mobs cannot spawn on them
That's peaceful mobs, I'm talking about hostile mobs.
Just make the floor of the water layer glass or half blocks, no mobs can spawn on either of those.

This is my set up, all water is still, and there are trees on the dirt. (Some of which had grown since I posted this topic)

Fish don't spawn. They aren't a mob.
