Whats up?

I have grown with LEDs but I definitely dont know much about the science side. You mention the blue and deep red with mfgs stressing large red ratios... From what ive read the plants use more blue light in VEG and red light in FLOWER. We are all about the flowers (at least I am :stoned so a light that produces more reds than blues is what is best for flowering.

Also I know HIDs like an HPS give off a huge spectrum of light but the plants benefit mostly from the reds given off. Same thing with MH bulbs and vegging. So a graph depicting the spectrum output of an HPS will show all sorts of colors but you only need to focus on the reds and blues. Or so ive read...

I hope all those pages of LED stuff I read (and mostly forgot! lol) were correct so i dont give you misinformation.

Just trying to help in any way I can.

There is one photosynthetic response curve that shows yellow light has more effect than blue light and that green, while lower, is almost as useful. Other articles say green light may stunt plant growth and that yellow is not much more useful (despite the huge success of HPS). Then there is the photosynthesis action spectrum showing that violet/purple light (400nm) has the highest absorption peak Rating: 5
