You should be encouraging new Growers not putting their equipment down.
Those lights are outdated, when did I lie? The thread title is I bought a blurple what can I expect. You can expect less then steller results from the cheap outdated Chinese made led. You expecting me to lie to the guy just to keep him motivated is weird as fuck. You may like to be lied to but I rather have someone give it to me straight. Especially when I asked.
You're trying to tell these guys to go buy a jacked up 1 ton pickup just to drive on the highway. You don't need all that s*** if you're just growing for yourself he's not trying to make any money off of it. Overkill. for what he's doing.
You do know they have different sized light's, right? You act like everyone' saying he has to buy a double ended thousand watt...he can go with a 250 or a 400.
You're talking about buying a Lexus for your kids when they're first learning how to drive
Never heard anyone refer to hid lights as the lexus of lighting. I'd put my kids in something reliable. Those blurples are literally some of the worst leds you can get. Your analogy of it being compared to a cheap reliable overall good beginners car is dumb because a blurple is more comparable to a unrelable piece of shit. That''m y opinion and the majority of the grow community agrees with it. You can keep living in denial but your light is inefficient and one of the worst on the market. I say this because op asked.

Never said you lied. Yes those lights are better but not necessary. You insult people. Its one thing to give an opinion and its another to br a d!ck.

Yea, that's how they grow under those lights. Looks like my buddy's grow.
Here’s my shitty blurple grow, seriously not happy with it, but next run will be better.
The lights are fine, I was new to using them.
Blurple lights work fine, OP, but you need lots of real wattage. Get at least one more powerful light of some kind. I would recommend a powerful warm white led fixture or maybe a 400 watt hps, along with your blurple.

C o b and Quantum boards all high-end lighting that's what is expensive not those cheap lights that cost too much to run and produce more heat than light

It's amazing how some of these buckets cost more then these lexus's.View attachment 4132273 smh
HPS are cheap but produce more heat than light. HPS are not high-end. Quantum boards c o b lighting is what I'm talking about. I would not run a HPS if it was given to me I sell that s*** too much heat not enough light most efficient is 600 but God damn puts out too much heat cooling it becomes an issue especially in the summer you need air conditioners just to run your lights seems like a waste the money it cost to run your AC your lights your fans and for a new grower like him if he doesn't get it right he's screwed

Man, hyperbole much?
The yield isn’t always great, but I grew serious dank on my first try growing anything, with the shittiest first edition mars hydro blurples...

The LED guy in the thread is also a zealot, but yeah, whatevs
