The McCree Curve indicates nothing about an ideal plant light profile. A growth light matching the McCree Curve would not be ideal, it probably is a relatively decent spectrum, but that is just circumstantial. This is a very common misconception about plant lighting which escapes many...

He's right.. quantum boards are wiping the floor with everything just now, 2 gram per watt from some growers, hps gets 1gpw on a good grow

Hey, you commented on my grow and mentioned testing a light, how do I go about becoming a tester for it?

This is under a 300w vipar, week 5 of 10 in flower. I'm hoping for the .5 as well but it let's you get a look at what the light can do in novice hands I'm happy with it considering how much they get hated on haha

Hoping for 50g minimum :)

Much sweeter than my last gb!! Like a lot sweeter, 1st one was like a sour diesel/skunk smell This is a much nicer smell! Also stronger smell, can smell it through the house

Update: week 6 Spotted a little heat stress, had the led a bit too close, rearranged the ventilation a bit and managed to drop the room temp a bit and raised the led a little higher, seems to have halted the stress :)

Yea only reason I don't run hps is the heat :/ sitting about 85f with the vipars :(

It does annoy me how much people put the vipars down lol, it's not a complete waste of cash, if you spend long enough on eBay you can get one for £40 ($55) Then use it to grow up to 135g That's putting it at 1gpw which people have done Even an inexperienced grower like myself can get a couple...

Well I'm looking at (guessing) 40-60g 28g can sell for 200.. there's my QB kit right there :)!

Simply because that's what I have, with no cash to upgrade just now, will maybe have to sell some of this girl to fund better lights

Again guys I appreciate you're advice but I have done sooooo much research, I WILL BE GOING TO QUANTUM BOARDS But for now this post was curiosity as to what people have actually pulled off with the cheap set ups

I think she's looking on track so far for 40g minimum

Im hoping to get 2 zips from the vipar 300w alone lol

Yea, I agree that they are amazing! But its not then that I asked about haha

Exact same plan, use the vipars for the low start up cost, Get a couple zips and learn in the process. Sell some from first crop to fund a QB kit :)! Have an update pic while I'm here! Lol

I can't wait for mine to finish:D one plant with the 135w to it's self:)

Ahh 270 over the two lights, I thought you were under the impression your 300w was pulling 270 on it's own lol They should do just fine :)

What 300w vipar is pulling 270w from the wall?

Should be good! Nice fat buds on them, this was the little viparspectra led, my first photo grow
