Hi. My name is betty. I started with one 300w galaxy hydro blurple (actual 130). Then, then another 2 of those. Then, a 600w. Eventually, everything was pinkish-purple and hotter than hell, but my plants’ needs (and mine) seemed insatiable.
Then…I realized I had hit rock bottom. I saw the light. The qb light. Now, I have one light per tent. I don’t want or need more.
I, too, am not ashamed of starting with blurples. They did their job, just not well. Once they turned me into a blurplish colored junkie, I knew I had a problem. Like many of you here, I am so glad to have recovered.
There’s no shame in having the blurples. Just know, you’re not alone. There’s help out there, if you need it.
