But every plant grown with dual arcs was bigger than the ones grown under hps, just some food for thought.
it just goes to show that plants use the entire spectrum range and that ALL lights (including current LEDs) are not maximized for plants. i think that a full spectrum LED with variable resistors for each spectrum is the way to go personally!
