Vipraspectra 600 in a 3X4X7 box

Vipraspectra 450 in veg

i highly suggest the viparspectra 1200 for a 12sq ft grow area. 273w for that area just isnt enough.

You're probably right! We'll see how it does.

I've still got my HPS and CLF arrays which I can change out for the winter.

Just bought G8LED 90w (72 actual) all red flowering boosting light. Should come next week.

The plants are looking good but this could help up the LED watts to 276+72=358 actual.

How close are your lights while on veg ? I try to keep mine as close as 6 inches away , bleaching hasn't been a problem either , now when flowering , if the plant gets as close as 14 " it will start bleaching. That's with the cx3070 diy light , the citizen led diy and the advanced xte200

I will lower my light in my VEG tent (mine are 15 inches or more)

Now in the Flower Box Vipraspectra 450 (276 actual watts) + G8LED 90 watts (75 actual) Thats 356 watts.

Let's go

following this thread for a while... I bought '3' vipar 300w early in the spring for my 4x3.5ft tent- was growing 4plants... went with led's as trying to lower temp as weather was getting warmer... the plants grew just 'ok' not overly impressed.. at the end of this unimpressive grow, I gave the '3' fixtures to a friend who uses em for vegging in a closet...I mite try another grow with some other cheap led's... I think for veg they r ok, but don't think the penetration is good for flowering..

I like the concept of led's n lower temp's
