Blurple lights will work, most hate on them because of their dishonest advertising meant to take money from the uninformed. They add up the max for each led and come to 1200 watts when they know it is only drawing 150 watts. This deception.makes most hate them from the start. I grew my first plant under a 1200 watt (150watt actual draw) and got 3.5 oz from a Northern lights auto. Now better lights would have given me much better yield. I have moved up to HPS-MH light but am heading into LED again for next grow. HLG and Timber are high quality upper end lights but have a high quality upper end price tag. Than there are lights like Spiderfarmer which are a cheaper alternative and use much the same parts as HLG for the most part. From there you can go to Kingbtite and Meijiu lights which can be purchased from Alibaba. They also use the same led's and drivers as Spiderfarmer and HLG. Lots of reading to do and much of what a person gets will depend on budget. Just remember, a purple can grow decent pot. Just not optimal and it depends on which blurple. Here is a pic of my first plant.
What's their "true" equivalent wattage? Like, if a blurple draws 200 wt from the wall, what's its true HID equivalent?
That looks amazing brutha. Thanks for your input. I shall see the results with the blurple compared to what I used first time. Then I will invest in a white light high quality led.
I will see how this light goes then next grow will get a white high quality. Thanks for your advice.
