the color of the light will not stunt the plant...and the light color doesn't trigger flowering...the length of time the light is shining is what triggers flowering to start..so don't say this again. It is not true...stop spreading internet nonsense...for real...i will see the post when you say it again..and we will talk about this again...not in PMs...out here in front of everyone..this is newbish tomfoolery so keep it to yourself...
You are so so so super wrong with such an air of authority..
The light coloring DOES take a part in triggering flowering. I had this problem when only using a led light with 630 and 460 nm wavelengths. The flowering seemed to never start. Then I did some research and found ( http://www.ledgrow.eu/qa.html ) From the link :

| Question: | I love the grows. However I have a few questions. 1. How is the potency? I heard that since there is next to no UV rays it will throw off the potentcy of the THC because the Tri-com don\'t feel like they need to protect the bud as much... 2. Where did you get your LED supplies? Also what are you using to power them? 3. Have you thought about throwing maybe 2 CFLs in there to give the plants a little more of the rainbow? I mean the intense rays will still come from the LEDs but to provide some UV rays as well as other colors. 4. Have you tried any from seedlings? Or would it be best to grow the seeds until about an inch or two then throw them under the LEDs? 5. How high are you from the plants? I am planning a little grow room and I am trying to be as energy effecent as possible because the laws are ungodly strict where I live. Just trying to get it all sorted out before I start purchasing. Thanks for the info and a great site/read!! Brian |
| Answer: | 1 The potency is great! Tons of BlaBla about "the missing UV" or "you need Farred" mostly come from people without any experience. 2 For the prototypes I got them from the web, several stores are selling them. I am using home build constant current supplies as well as special led supplies. 3 No, I want to do it with Leds, however adding white leds for a wider rainbow did solve the delayed flowering problem. 4 No, to much hassle with males etc, clones are easy to get if you live in Amsterdam  5 about 10 to 15 cm. |
you def know nothing about what you are talking about. I do, but everyone is free to think different. I am not spreading nonsense, it's all experimentation carried out by me or by much more reputable and experienced diy led guys.
here you are saying something somehow somewhat true.. in the sense that is not the spectrum that is so important as the efficiency of the emitters. In fact when employing emitters, let's say you gotta chose between the perfect white and the most efficient white, you should go with the most efficient. But let me tell you that too much monochromatic blue will stunt the grow, proven.
Wow.....talk about spreading misinformation......Jubiare's link to Knna is a good place for you to start learning
