I personally think "light intensity" is the most important part of an indoor grow, over spectrum.

Think about it: people were growing dank under blurples in the early 2000s, so obviously spectrum doesn't play as big a role as the intensity of the light.

Spectrum is to influence the shape of the plant, exception is the emerson effect it increases photosynthesis.

Two different spectrums combined on one plant give a better rate of photosynthesis than two singled out spectrums added together
I hope I explained that right...

These are Girl Scout Cookies, in Fiber Pots, Sunshine 4 soil, General Hydroponics nutes but changing this under 700W Updayday LED. Flipped them about week ago, they have been Topped and defoleated twice Staked and Tied up. Considered Super Cropping.

I gave my Son another 400W Light not sure what kind but he says it is working good but not as good as the Updayday.

The other Light I'm looking at is RDJ Bouns 720W made for 4X4 Tent.

honestly the rdj bonus uses lm281b+ diodes and a sosen driver its a nice light! the only problem i see with it is it does not light up the corners properly the middle has insane intensity and the corners are super dim. but looking at the price! its a 700watt led grow light with good diodes and a good driver for 339.99 thats a great price! im looking at other 700 watt led lights and they cost like 700 usd lmfao.
looking at dr.mjcoco's website i found a led light that lights up the corners way better! is 800watts and will fit in a 4x4 it costs a little more than the rdj bonus but it has way better light coverage its called cultiuana ct800
here is link link cultiuana ct 800
your rdj bonus hung 18 inches above canopy in a 4x4 the corners are around 400umol
the cultiuana ct800 in a 5x5 the corners are 400umol lmfao
good luck with your grow boss man :)
