Thanks for the advice @Bublonichronic I understand that there is a point of diminishing returns for light. The added 6500k spectrum is what is most important 2 me. T.H.C is believed through study 2 be a defense mechanism for UV rays and other stresses of the plants natural environment. The 6500k...
