I'm new to growing, only on my second round of plants. My first plant yielded 59 grams of trimmed, dried buds using a 1200 (equivalent) watt full spectrum "blurple" light. This round I've got 3 clones of the first plant and they are two weeks into the flowering stage, when a friend of mine told me that I'm using the wrong type of light. He doesn't grow but he's intelligent and he reads practically everything on the internet, so I consider him to be a fairly reliable source of information. Is he right? Have you guys already done a comparison? I already UTFSE'd but I got back squat. Thanks

Do you know the actual wattage of the unit? Brand? They are not the best, but they do work well if you have enough intensity. I use one and it keeps up well compared to my QB's.

I actually was informed on the same thing from a super good grower I actually met on THC farmer, reeferron. I was working with two small blurples in the beginning of my first grow about month ago and he told me I would in NO WAY yield the quality or quantity I was looking for without an improvement in light quality... He is a GREAT grower, so I took the advice.

I ended up going with two 240w qb Meijiu LEDs which both (after shipping from china) ended up costing about 330$ for the full 480w...with my other blurples added, im now at about 610w in a 4x4...Not a bad option IMO and they work great. I don't know of any threads on the subject, but many growers claim the difference is huge in yield...good luck!
