Hey Sean. Thanks a lot fo your advice! That’s right, the Viparspectra puts out a lot of light… I just adjusted the height to 60cm and dimmed the output down to 25%. My plants are a few weeks old, the first true leafs are just starting to develop. I think, I’ll adjsut the output to 50% as soon as I repot them in bigger pots. Thank you again for your great articles!

Hi there! Thank you. Your Viparspectra XS1000 puts out a lot of light. You need to turn it down as much as you can, especially at 40cm. The age of your seedlings/plants will also be a factor here.

Thank you! I’m using the Viparspectra XS1000 for my second chili grow season and I’m really impressed with the results… What would you reccomend for the first few weeks: 25% or 50% output? I have my plants in a grow box and my light is about 40cm away from the canopy. Greetings from Switzerland! :o)

I have noticed that most grow light bulbs only shine in one direction, with half the bulb obscured by a cover or something. I’m wondering if I could put a grow light into a floor lamp with a drum shade as long as the plants sit directly below it? The light they would receive would not be filtered through a lampshade, but it would be light reflected down by the lampshade, since the light emitted from the bulb would be directed upwards. Is reflected light from a grow light bulb sufficient for growing plants?
