I have below a diagram of an idea i had with LEDs, placeing induvidual bundles of 2 or 3 right up to the budsights have this all over the plant as well as appropriate lighting conditions from above the plants as well.

What do you think? would this be ideal for getting maximum light to bud sites and new forming branches?

Do you think that if you could prove the concept, that this would work?

prove it by doing it :) start a grow log and if it goes down well.... you'll be a hero

Yes, i plan to do this in the future when i can afford it, that would be great if it would maximize bud production dramaticly.

Does anyone know of LEDs on individual wires that can be adjusted into the position such as the picture above?

If you can solder led's are cheap especially if you buy them in the hundreds or thousands.

www.digikey.com although if you want the really bright leds they are more money www.lumileds.com can get red leds that put out 190 lumens but they are a few bucks each in full reel quantity prolly depending on how many is on a reel probably 1 to 5 thousand

Leds come in certain spectrums and you would need red yellow and blue at certain percentages. basically 5% red, 36% blue and 58 % yellow to get the suns spectrum at noon which is the most balanced light.

It is my non-professional opinion that this is wrong.

There's a big thread of LEDs over in the Advanced section... lots of pictures for you to see people growing with LEDs.

Anything is possible... so yes, you *can* do what you're propossing. Go for it! :)

As to the above quote, from my understanding, our plants needs red and blue... yellow is not needed. I don't know why we have 58% of yellow in there.
Again, there's a big back-and-forth discussion of ideas in the LED thread over @ Advanced.

Easy
