LED grow lights... input please.
Yeah, definitely...
I think that our advantage here is that we can build a custom light. There are various wavelengths of red (nm), ... the company I'm speaking with has LEDs that are able to produce the ones listed at the top of this thread.
I don't think people in these boards actually are understanding the situation:
Yes, it's new stuff, un-proven... BUT, the company is on OUR side... They're willing to go the extra mile (making custom bulbs!!!) for us... they know, and we know, it's a win/win situation.
I think I'm going to pick some wavelengths to the best of my abilities, and ask the company for a price quote on that prototype. Once I've got that, if it isn't too much $$$, I'll fork it over to them, and as soon as I receive the bulb, I'll do a controlled-setup grow to see how it turns out.
One thing I'm thinking, from a marketing success point of view, is that we shouldn't ask the company to cram both vegetative and flowering wavelengths into ONE bulb. Growers nowadays are acustomed to having bulbs for veg and bulbs for flowering... Even if it's better, I would preffer to have one bulb for veg (blue) and one bulb for flowering (red).
Now, I'm thinking:
VEGETATIVE bulb --->
................90% blue nm
................10% red nm
..........nm....# LEDs
..........630...2
..........660...2
..........400...30
..........460...30
FLOWERING bulb --->
................90% red nm
................10% blue nm
..........nm....# LEDs
..........630...30
..........660...30
..........400...2
..........460...2
Any and all input is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
