900watt viparspectra reflector , full spectrum
I went from hps to CMH's+Qb Led's
I like the mix because I can put 10k bulbs in a few of the CMH's for extra UV/blue the last 7-14 days.
I see the Viparspectra 900w only capable of 3x3 flower footprint, but trying to compare to 1000w hps that covers 5x5...
Looks like another version of Mars to me

Doesn't look bad bruh.. keep at it.
If you're ever trying to use the whole tent you're gonna need more light but if you're only doing a couple at a time you should be fine.

Plants look pretty good ...
keep canopy height between 18” / 15” ( both switches on. )
Also be aware that blurple plant feeding can be less than other lights.
Vipars WILL grow some decent bud , but not much good for multiple plants.
Your 900...... Actually pulls about 400 watts ... give or take.
I used them before and actually kept a 600 for laughs since moving on.
Grows WAY BETTER THAN MARS OR KIND.

Im still producing dank with MARS Reflector light, oldest model, nearly 5 years old an no burnt out LEDS, Got my moneys worth, i need to upgrade soon
They have similar complaints as Mars on the major sites like Amazon/Ebay.
Burned out diodes after only a few months.
I will agree they can grow good bud from the looks of it.
400w hps covers 3x3 aswell + the bulbs can be easily changed if they do fail.
3x3 @ "900w" equivalent vs 5x5 @1000W
Looks like similar claims as the other cheap M&M brand Leds
Can't post pics here anymore for some reason or I'd light it up long enough to get some, but I have a Mars 1st gen that only lasted 4 months b4 the first burnout diode. 1/3 of the diodes burned out completely b4 I quit using it for clones/veg.

I had the CLASSIC white panel ... it did grow , but it was a heater ( hot running ) plus it burned out all of the IR diodes ... lens was black and melted. The overall build quality was laughable , but I managed to get a few runs done before sacrificing it for a DIY project .
Shitcanned original pcb board and threw a HLG quantum in it.
Life became better.

For the OP ... stay the course ... looking good . Let them run as long as they need , they will be done when they are done , not by time growing ....
Good luck ... keep us posted.
I will not lie I have seen some bomb ass looking flowers grown under blurple . Obviously the targeted chlorophyll A and B spectrum does grow a plant or two , and we all started growing with typical noob lights .... I managed to dial in the vipar pretty well ... that’s why I kept it.

Bottom line ... it worked but obviously, plants would have been much better under better lights.

The new light you made should stomp the orig.
Same model I had with white panel + IR diodes burned out first yup.
