First Impressions -

This is one sturdy light , large one-piece heavy aluminum chassis , led strips , Soren Led Driver .
Outer LED strips are covered with optical lens and center strip with protective glass .
Ratchet straps , hangar wires , daisy chain connector cable ( 59” length ) and booklet included.

Light is insanely bright at higher powers yet is able to be dimmed down to a 5% range for seedlings and cuttings.
To have unit completely shut off - a timer is needed. Aluminum heat sinks built into the sturdy chassis handles the heat distribution.

Light features a robust mix of spectrum for all stages of growth - 3000k / 5000k / 730nm and 660nm red.
Leds are Samsung Horticulture 281B+ ( will confirm with Vipar spectra ). I will also find out beam angle of optics .

Package arrived double boxed and securely padded . Ready to hang.

36-Month US Local warranty and 30-day money-back guarantee.



I am going to start a 2x2 size grow running this lamp - strains to be determined shortly.

Feel free to reach out with any questions - as I will stay in contact with their team. I look forward to exploring what this new model will offer.

I won a ks5000 here at Thanksgiving and was blown away by the build quality, design and performance. Made me revise my entire estimation of Viparspectra as a brand.

Some Amazon guys think they need to catapult packages or spike them like footballs.

I've seen worse! The guy delivering mine, that I haven't been contacted about yet, wouldn't even donate to my pee bucket!

Time to get this party started -

Strains :

Blimburn Cafe Racer ( Granddaddy Purple x GSC ) Fem
Ethos Zweet Auto x Lilac Diesel ( autoflower )
Blimburn Motor Breath ( Fem )

Tinkled on some rapid rooters as I am undecided on actual medium right now - soil / “ hem pee “ or coco. They are resting on a seedling warming mat to keep their baby tooshies comfortable. Once they germ a bit , I will use the XS1500 on a low setting to start them up.

I plan LST on them for 2x2 footprint - so not sure how many will finally be under XS1500. I am more interested in plant response to this lamp and overall growing efficiency. My 2x2 “ grow space “ is slightly larger but will facilitate what this lamp is designed for.

If I decide on soil - it will be my normal layered mix I tend to run.
If “ HEMP PEE “ then it will be either a 3:1 perlite / vermiculite blend or straight 100% perlite on either GH MAXIGROW / MAXIBLOOM or
Roots Organic Terp Tea - Grow / Bloom 2 part.

Coco - Coco loco or Roots Organic Soilless ( been wanting to try this one )

Germination-

Cafe Racer
Lilac Autoflower
Motor Breath

I placed them under the XS 1500 pro at its lowest setting ( 5% ) to test its potential as a soft start germinating lamp. Tray is about 16” from light.

So far so good as they have broken free and are sprouting.



They are under 18/6 as of now.

Note : XS 1500 pro will not power down lower than 5% setting - to fully shutdown - a wall timer is required.

Pulling up chair with pop corn in one hand adult beverage in other. You have peeked my interest. Looking forward to see how the light preforms in the environment. Thanks Budz for opportunity to watch. They did well to bring you in on this.

 

[ViparSpectra]

Nice sprout!

Update :

Time to introduce the girls ……

Blimburn Motor Breath - hybrid coco / perlite hempy cup
Blimburn Cafe Racer - Layered soil mix
Ethos Lilac Auto - Layered soil mix


First , decided to start the coco / perlite hempy in Pro-Coir for now until it gets a little more established. Then I will run it either in a straight perlite
“ hempy “ or Roots Organic soilless . Cup has a perlite “ base “ ( mini rez ) and top filled with coco. I soaked the coco in CLONEX GOLD ( pee ? ) at 5.9 ph. The mini rez will keep some moisture within coco cup so I can just top off with new feed as needed .

My little DTW ( drain to waste ) cup

The layered soil mix - EB Stone Recipe 420 base / pumice / EWC / Dynomyco / Bio-Live. Kelp will be added to water as grow continues.
It is a variation from the FFOF layered mix I used to run.

Since I’m locked into a 2x2 test - not sure which one or 2 plants will ride it out. I am shooting for at least a 3 gallon for the coco , and 2 or 3
gallon soil containers for other. So not sure if I will just run the coco plant with training .

The Vipar Spectra XS1500 PRO is set at 25% power for these germinating plants.
