This is not a blurple board. It's full spectrum. It's a high definition white with slight blue in real life.

I have a Hydroponics Hut that I thought was whitish too. I really thought it was white. Until I put it next to a white 35ishk light. Looked whitish to me cuz it was so bright. Mine is "full spectrum too". High in R+B w/ a good 17% green. Wicked cool spectrum I though would kill it. Check it. Oh, be sure to read to. Especially the last sentence! LMFAO! I wanted to believe soooo bad.
I doubt your burple light has a better full spectrum then this. And I'm pretty sure it's hard to beat these strong claims!!!Just cuz they provide you with all the bands doesn't actually mean full spectrum. At least not for my plants. It's a trick.
Again. I used this spectrum 535 watt Pro-series light next to an 450 watt enhanced white led w/ the same strain, clone, Nutes, ect.... & the differance was 11 oz.
it is what it is. Good luck.

It's mostly white. It is full spectrum, but it utilizes mostly white and blue, followed by red, orange, and IR to tinge it to the right normal color. I'm just saying, this is pretty sufficient and not underpowered like Mars. I'm seriously thinking a second 450 will round me out to just the amount I'll need for my small grow.

I really do appreciate it guys, but I'm pretty confident that this is a quality economy line, and easily above Mars standard. This is how I'll prove that. If not, I'll try another. So far, this 450w puts out three times the Lux of my old 500w BlackStar. It also has a stronger projection at a distance.

This was the closest the BlackStar got to the output of the ViparSpectra.

Good luck! I just think that so many people don't know how their led lights actually perform cuz they haven't compared them to other light sources that are proven. Then they're stuck thinking what they have works, all the while loosing large quantities of bud.
Wish you the best though. Peace!

Epistar is Epistar.
It's a kind/platinum led/apollo/king/etc, etc, etc
With a bit fancier reflectors, I'm sure it will grow. But heh..

Highly doubt 50% efficiency though.. 25% would probably be more like it.

Hope it lasts. I had an Evervipargrow that was a 300w advertised but draws 175w when 60 diodes are working and 172w with 2 blue diodes out. It grew well but not as efficient as my 3 and 4 year old a51's. The diodes are 3chip 5 watt. Service is handled through Ocean Revive and could be much faster and better. All that said, it really well in density and frost.
If you do so well with Black Star, you will kill it with your light. Good luck.

My two favorite kinds of green .
And I enjoy the fuck out of growing pot.
There was some Bullshit study recently released by some twit suggesting that regular heavy pot smokers lose the reward system hardwired into their brains.. specifically the appreciation of monetary rewards lol
I'm evidence that she's full of shit .
I smoke the hell out of some pot and I love money . I rewarded myself 7,000$ this week and stayed high .
And I don't appreciate rewards ? Lol what a joke.

Thanks Doobie and Airwalker
I took your advice, they're looking much more green and I've removed some of the fan leaves to get some better light penetration.
I also found some red spider mites! Common here in Australia. I take my girls outside a bit here so bound to happen I guess.
Bit worried that they've only just begun flowering now ( day 60 ) they're autoflowering and website advised 75-90 days til harvest.
My question is will they die before they've reached full bud?

Came back from work last night and managed to score a black Photon 180 with the twin Citizen CLU058 3500k 90 cri cobs. This will make my entire grow 100% LED, which is something I've really been thinking about/wanting to do for the last few months now.
veg tent: single a51 w90 4000k
2x2 flower tent: Tasty T2-1400 CXB3590 plus Northern Grow Lights Photon 180 CLU058.
Should put me at around 1500ppfd in the flowering tent, no?

its not ideal but not too late to spray for bugs. Get something organic that says use up to harvest day (which is bs but whatever) and mix a bit under rec dose and spray for bugs if your worried.

A Pure Kush plant I'm starting to flower under 1000w Mars (or Mars equivalent) Led. I had some plants outdoors, many got ravaged by animals, this one was one of them. I nursed it back and am keeping it small because it's a bit late in the season to veg it out anyway. The Sharksbreath plant to the right also experienced similar destruction and rehab, I'm trying to flower it also, so far it's still vegging but that's cool. Would normally top healthy plants but decided to leave these 2 alone.
Also I heard that one should not to do pruning during flowering stage, or that it's best of course to do it in veg, but should I remove these sites now?

Here are my plants as of yesterday:
Both-
HWFP:
BBBC-
They still have about a month and a week left. They also have budded noticeably since yesterday. This is looking pretty good.

That was last night, this is a minute ago:
BBBC
HWFP
Not even 24 hours later, you can see a huge difference.

I monster crop. 3 weeks into flower, I defoliated and I took a clone from each. They didn't herm, and I cut a third or more off of each. Herming is caused by heat and bad genetics.
Bottom line: You'll be fine.
