I did a side by side using the Hydroponics Hut X5-500 vs the Amare SE-450.
Bought the HH mktd as a pro-series light & I was impressed w/ the ratios shown on the spectral graph based on what I learned. Burple but still full spectrum having just enough in the greens, so I thought.
Well, needless to say, the HH got absolutely spanked by the Amare. Would've been laughable if I didn't waste $800 on the light & lost another $2000 in yield differance.
This made me lose all faith in Burple lighting. Sure, there's much better burples out there but they're being replaced by white or enhanced white by now.
For example: BML's Grow-Max spectrum, replaced by FluenceBio's new enhanced white spectrum, PhysioSpec. The owners openly admitted to the Grow-Max Burple spectrum being wrong & the cause of bleaching.
Full spectrum white light or enhanced white will smash on Burple. Can't find any evidence to say differant.
It's good to see side by sides but the grower must inteand or expect to loss yields as I did.

Oh geeze! The worst buss. I've ever seen. They just take your money n run. If I flip my light on its back, all the components move around. Nothing's fastened. Sent the first one I got back for this reason & they sent me another one w/ the same problem. They Blamed it on shipping but it's obviously not. Also, when I told them the design flaws sucked in air-born dirt onto the inside of the lenses, they told me to clean my grow-room. They gotta be joking I thought at first. Nope, total rip-off artists.
Guess I had to get beat to be an official led grower though. So, at least I now understand what all the hype surrounding crappy Burple lights & shit companies was about.
No wonder so many prefer DIY or to spend a little more on a quality light & company. I get it now.

That's what I keep seeing too, no idea why people defend it without evidence. Idk but I would love to see any proof as in a journal that shows details.

Have you tried running it without the reflectors?

Since you have a PAR meter, you can easily check out all the options.

Also you might want to get something on that exposed floorboards and joists. Humidity changes turn that into a perfect breeding ground for nasties and it is much easier to prevent it from happening.

lol! Did one of the NG's run their mouth to you or something? Noticed a few funny comments referencing NG actions! Haha! I don't get bothered by them anymore myself but they were running ramped around here for awhile! Gotta shut em down quick or they get outta hand.
Nice plants n pics as always!
I see you took quite the liking to DIY work. Really wanting to build some myself. I use T-5's from Coral-life & Wave-Point to supplement my HPS & also in my veg T-5
Too. I like whatchu got going!
Think you'll be able to do a direct side by side using cobs n HPS w/ the same strain n age plant soon? I'll be trying to soon myself.
Good work!
