I think they look healthy, but I am concerned you may not have enough PPFD for your area. I would also strongly suggest you not top ANY of those plants if you are going to run one plant per square foot.
I used to run 2x ViparSpectra v450s. I switched both out for one 89w COB and found the COB to put out more than both of those V450s combine. As soon as you can, you should switch to 300-400w of COB for that size area.
That said, ViparSpectra is the only panel LED I appreciate. It isn't overpriced like Kind or Platinum and it isn't a cheap piece of shit like Mars. It'll grow you a few ounces. Maybe 4-6 ounces for the space you are growing in. I got like, 3 or so ounces in a 4x2 with 2 plants using mine. I also only topped one and likely pulled the untopped one too early. You should look into COB, though. This is 241w in a 4x2.

These were my results using the two ViparSpectra V450s.
Strain 1 of 2: Big Buddha Blue Cheese
Strain 2 of 2: Heavyweight Fruit Punch
And then one which a ViparSpectra V450 on its own did this by 8 weeks on a 10 week strain.

Can I add these cobs to the vipers

Yeah, just not the ones you showed me. They should be white, preferably 3500k and 80 CRI or 90 CRI, and made by either Cree, Brudgelux Vero, Citizen, or Luminus.

Man, I'm telling ya. LEDs absolutely load these ladies with trichomes. Seriously though. I add in some molasses to add to the production cause of the sugars in the molasses, old trick but it does work. 2 cents.

I've used leds in the past ended up gifting a 600 watt to a friend. Now I am using a MH/HPS combo 1,000 watt's total. I'm thinking about adding in a low watt led to see how it works out.

Funny you mention it. I used molasses for that run, actually. I pushed the N too hard, though, clearly. I use Surge by Roots Organics now. It's a molasses and fish-based terp and resin enhancer.Man, I'm telling ya. LEDs absolutely load these ladies with trichomes. Seriously though.
