Importance of 460nm red LEDs?

[Weezard]

GMTA, indeed

I'm actually doing a dichroic right now, Weezard, 12/12 from clone, 2:1 460:660, 30w. Link is in my sig.

Aloha Khyber,

I'm subscribed to that thread and follow it closely.
Don't usually poke my nose in unless I have something to add or see a question that I actually KNOW the answer to.

You do jus' fine without unsolicited advice. :greenthumb:

Jus keep pokin'.:weedpoke:
Weeze

Weezard Reviewed by Weezard on 06-06-2010. Importance of 460nm red LEDs? Here is something very confusing to me. Many LED proponents loudly proclaim the need for 460-470nm red LEDs over the cheaper 630nm LEDs. I understand that this better coincides with the accepted chlorophyll B absorption peak. So far so good. LEDs veg very well given appropriate wattage & color. So far so good. LEDs do not compare (generally) to HPS flowering as far as yield. (Please - let's not go off in that direction here. Thank you!) Rating: 5
