You are over-thinking this, sir.

Just 2 colors will grow superior meds, jus' fine.
No UV, no IR, no far red, no shotgun rainbow, just red and blue.

Only 2 colors, with an adjustable ratio, will show you that you, can indeed manipulate cannabis, (growth, height, internode spacing, flower timing), etc., by varying the R:B ratio.
I do it, in practice, all the time.

This is my first bud from 2 years ago.

2 colors.
10. 5Watt red 660nm.
3. 5Watt blue ~460nm.
From seed.
That's all you need.

Listen to the "expert" if you wish.
Theory is lots of fun.


But ask for pictures of real world results before you act on their advice, yah?

I suggest find a competent LED grower who is getting the results you seek, and ask them about the practical application of leds.

Weezard Reviewed by Weezard on . Need Help With Wavelength and Spectrum, LED... I am interested in having some led units built for myself... I currently use 120 degree 120wtri-band 7.1.1 blue/red/orange. It worked great but Iā??m ready to upgrade. Thelight coverage I need has to cover both stages of growing for it seems the UFO's dont cover the Vegetation needs. So I would like twounits, one for veg. and the other for flower. So from what Iā??ve gathered on theinternet and my own trial and error I have put together a request for aspecific LED grow light. 90 degrees 400 pcs Rating: 5
