Hi Rollitup...
Been a lurker here for a while. This is my first post...
I've been growing for a few years on and off, as a hobbiest. This year after much research I'm going to be buying some LED grow lights from cidly.
I was on to the sales guy, and he asked me what spectrum I need and what plants Im growing. I told him Im doing cannabis and he recommended a spectrum as follows.
Red660nm: 6pcs,
Red 630nm: 3pcs,
Blue460nm: 2pcs,
Blue 430nm: 1 pcs,
Orange610nm: 1 pcs
White 2700K: 1 pcs,
White 6500K: 1 pcs
Theres a lot of debate over this topic. I'm just wondering what people recommend? I've heard blue is hardly necessary and maybe more red than blue is better.
Why use white at all if the plant really sees in blue and red?
Some people say use UV some say not? Why or why not?
I've looked for consistent and clear answers to thee questions but its a bit of a mine field.
Any advice appreciated... Thanks
