Hello there. I've been going nuts about LEDs for a few years now. Never actually made the switch, but still followed the progression closely. I finally feel now that there's enough of a understanding about how light spectea effect plant growth to make the switch. I've been back and forth in my mind ever since on how exactly to go about it. Thought about buying a revolutionary light from a company called Valoya. You should look into what their doing, some dope stuff. Was gonna choose them. But with a price point of around 6 dollars and watt, and with there being no recorded cannabis grows with it that I could find, I just don't think I could do it. Next I thought about using cidly and just study study study till I found the right ratio of LEDs. And it would only be about 1 dollar a watt. But once again finding the perfect spectrum ration would be hard and risky. So here I am no and I feel I got a good understanding. The best thing you want is a full continuos spectrum. And by continuous I mean with no gaps.
now that's damn near impossible using narrow, single band LEDs. But with warm white LEDs, there's a good amount of red and blue and everything in between. Take a look....

third page, the red line is the warm white
so with that one color, you get almost half the spectrums taken care of
now I jut found these and think they fit better than duck sauce and egg rolls

May the bottoms is their graph for spectrum.
idk seems like a match made in heaven...
I thought I could match them up watt to watt. Which would take 10 of the warm whites to equal the same amount of watts as the5 channel LED
any suggestions or objections?
