You are just too smart to buy into the marketing bs, hollywood33. Cannabiniods and there precursors start out while the plant is in the immature stage (vegging) and that is a product of blue light, just like you read about. And is the reason some blue is required by the plant when in mature stage (flowering).

"sunburst orange" sounds soooo cool, but there is no such color diode produced. You will see orange LEDs and hyper-orange LEDs listed at Mousers Electronics or any of the LED distributors, but "sunburst orange" is just a marketing bs term someone made up to sell crap.

Sorry to break potofgolds heart about this, all that stuff they are selling is based on off-shore (read china) mfg.
