I am looking to supplement my light too but how do you calculate how much of each wavelength do you need?

Yes, but I used the Heatsink USA brand of heatsinks Only ran me about $5.50 per 24" length but that was before the tariffs were put into place.
For me I'll ditch the UV diodes and run more reds and infra reds for the winter.

@jarvild How much of an IR effect is that supplemental giving? Seeing how it's only 5 IR leds out of a total of 36 leds?

Or do you think that the difference is caused more by all the extra red leds?

I believe it's more of the reds being the factors than the IR's. My main goal with adding the IR's was to get my surface temps up some since my rooms run cool. My room was set-up for HID's and my preferred temps for flowering under them is 70-75 degrees, even with the extraction slowed down I was only able to achieve 77 as max temps in my room.
