Just lst and upgraded from t8 fluorescent to 2 300 watt led the viparspectra reflector series just wonder how it looks and how long it'll take for My plants to respond and turn up again thank u
When did plants drop?
If right after switching to the LEDS with no other new variables like just watered or environment etc. could be light shock IMO.

Few days for them to adjust perhaps.

They didn't drop i lst them i was just trying to get an opinion on my set up and see when they might start facing up again my wife said they have started a little but i figure low stress training will give me the best results for money invested

Im using x2 of the vipar 300's in a small tent. Im about halfway through flower now and they're looking good. The little chinese blurple LEDs have a little sweet spot for 1-2 plant personal grows, particularly in hydro. But work great for soil as well.

I'm kinda photo averse, and I don't think it would be a good apples to apples comparison. I'm in hempy pots doing passive hydro. I am also running a strain that most others aren't.

Your plants are looking good. Just be aware and plan for your stretch. I didn't expect as much in mine. I was wrong and they finally quit growing at 6in from my lights. I shoulda planned better. Escaped a catastrophe this time, but lesson learned.
They went from 14in to 36in fast when I flipped to 12/12.

I would get at least some kind of reflective material around them somehow. Bounce that light back instead of wasting it. Looking good!
