Aloha TFL

You said;

"no infrared, no ultraviolet, very important for some plant processes to work correctly..."


Perhaps, but for practical purposes, I find that dichroics, (660 and 470 nm.), can do a bang-up job.:thumbsup:
Here's the latest Led Vs Sunlight grow-off.
[attachment=o228065]
G13-BB cuttings.
Sunlight girl inna middle.
The indoor girls are a tad smaller and the outdoor girl had her main cola chopped for bud rot,

but, considering the container sizes, that's a damn fine comparison for 150 W. of LED.
The indoor girls used half the water and nutes!
They had no rot, no borg and all their trich caps in place with 90% of them cloudy!

Brought these out in the afternoon.
[attachment=o228068]
4 hours of sunlight "toasted" about 30% of the caps to a nice amber hue without shriveling them.
Then I chopped next morning at sun-up.
One girl got too close to the light and got bleached.
Also stopped growing for a week.

Leds work well with only deep red and blue.

UVb burns the heads off of trichs as they ripen and turn cloudy.

Far red, 730 nm., may or may not hasten blooming, but, so far I haven't found any use for IR.

Always eager to learn though.
