I will be showcasing my 2.5’x2.5’ auto tent under the brand new XS1000 in this thread.
I want to thank @ViparSpectra Grower for the awesome giveaway & letting me test the new XS1000![Double exclamation mark :bangbang: ‼](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/joypixels/emoji-assets@5.0/png/64/203c.png)
I decided to put the XS1000 in my 2.5’x2.5’ instead of the new 60”x48”x80” tent because the footprint on the XS1000 will do much better justice in a 2.5’x2.5’ coverage area come flower time
However we are still a ways from flowering auto’s as currently I still have my veging photos in the 2.5’x2.5’ at the moment waiting to put them into flower in the new viparspectra tent.
The first thing that stood out to me when I opened the package was that it came with the badass metal levered rope rachets, not those flimsy plastic ones that 85% of the other light companies give with their lights
Kudos to Viparspectra for not cheaping out & cutting costs like the other companies & giving equipment that’s above & beyond what the job calls for. This alone gives me great confidence in the company & that these will definitely be quality products
Speaking of quality check out the Samsung LM301B diodes![Weed :weed: :weed:](/styles/smilies/weed2.gif)

Highest heat reading of the mean well driver after a few hours of use. Yep, that’s right, also comes with a mean well driver![Exclamation mark :exclamation: ❗](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/joypixels/emoji-assets@5.0/png/64/2757.png)

All in all, I got to say I’m impressed with my initial reaction of Viparspectra, but time will tell. I was thinking that this was just gonna be another one of those Chinese knockoff company trying everything to cut costs, however from the quality of the products & their generosity, it appears I was dead wrong
I love it when I’m wrong in a good way.
