Doesn't meet the par requirement...plant's will be lacking in all even at the cellular level!

your kidding him right??? geez... dont pay attention...:roll:

anyways... for led's if you decide to want to use them... get ones that peak for the important parts so just get reds at around 640-680 nanometers (that is their wavelength) and subsequently their color...

then blues at anywhere around 430-450nm and you'll want to combo them both if you can... then during flowering just add more hours of darkness, up to say around the typical 12 hrs... and then keep both spectrums of light... so blue or red doesnt matter its the wavelengths that matter and flowering is only a product of the plant recognizing total hours of darkness, and NOT the color of the light what makes the flowers grow... ;)

and again if you do choose to use led's just make sure that they are intense enough for the grow, and not just a couple of led "christmas lights" so to speak... ;)

inside you dont need to "replicate" nature, because inside you can "manipulate" nature... and you certainly wont damage them with red or blue light...;)

it probably would be best if you could do it, would be to have an hps during flowering, then both led's targeting the nm wavelengths i listed above, then youre plants would get not only the intensity they need from the hps... but they would also get that extra "targeted" nm light that will be most beneficial for its growth...

good luck and enjoy the grow... ;)
