That really doesn’t help.

what’s small to one person is large to another.

Do you know it’s capacity? 1 gallon 4 litres 5 gallon 20 litres?

Your light is approx 100w.

With LED the average is 30-50w per square foot of floor space.

30x (2x2) = 120w of good diodes. Blurple LED unfortunately are worse than HPS not the same.

By all means though listen to the guy who joined yesterday lol.

Just transplanted it cause the pot it was in was too big n didn’t get much sun so I had to put it in a medium to somewat large but little pot to move more easier to the tent if it’s not sunny outside if that made sense

doesn't your blurple have bloom and veg switch?
It's 100w so it's 25 watt per sq foot in 2x2.
So under veg press the "veg" button and and under bloom press "bloom" no need to change
It's older technology but we grew pefect plants under blurples for many years

The plants will grow just fine under blurples just as they do under HPS

Are you actually comparing blurple lights to HPS lights? There is no comparison. HPS lights grow some fire. They use more power and put off more heat than LED's but they perform extremely well.

If you're going to make a comparison with blurple lights a better one would be blurple vs HO T5's. Blurple lighting is not in the same league as HPS.

The new lights are better: more efficient and have better spectrum sure but there is no reason why this light shouldn't grow healthy plants in 2x2
