Hi there RackitMan,

I'm also not sure what you hope to gain by that. I use a super actinic white in my cloner light set up and sometimes used to start germed seeds. Use only the actinic till roots show or seedling emerges and then add 6500k fluoro. Ususually keep actinc white going also.

I know of some people who are using blue LED panels for clonning, but not used during dark period.

Some here are curious, I know I'm curious, tell us more please.........
