OK, how you all doing. I can show you where I have my viparspectra lights hanging at. Here's the deal I have both HID lights and a tri of vipar lights. I have 2-450 reflector series and a 300 full spectrum. I will go with they are ok (if they were shit they would not turn on), I used them to start up with midway through my grow the plants got to big for the footprint that the light would efficiently cover. I wish I would have went a different way to be honest. I scored a deal off FB for 2-1000 magnetic HID dual ballasts and a 400 dual as well plus a shit ton of other gear for 150 with hoods too.
When I go to redo my grow room I am going LED DIY all the way. I see the potential of the vipars but they (at least these) do not pack enough punch for great penetration, from my growing experience.
This is a 4x8 tent and this picture was taken 5 days after I put a 600 HID in. It really sucks that what they claim is a 450 is more like a 200. But at any rate this is a pic with 7 plants. They did not get very tall but the 4 mango that I sprouted from seed actually landed right at a half pound and the 3 ak47 extremes gained 170 grams. I really can't complain.
Here is where they are today.
