Some one will do it, may as well Be Gavita.

Funny you should say that. I understand Gavita is heavy into an R&D cycle with the aim of coming out with a fixture that matches current COB LED performance with a DE HPS footprint at an aggressively competitive price point.

This squares with my gut feelings and other news about Gavita rather well; they just sold 70% of themselves to Hawthorne Group. Who would buy an obsolete lighting company? On the other hand, what if Gavita needs the money to develop their designs and supply chain? Suddenly, it all makes sense.

My guess is that Gavita is developing COB LED fixtures and is even now working out the relative costs in order to bring a light with world beating performance to market.

Maybe in two years, the LED light you're buying will have the Gavita brand name on it.

I got great results with 3500k mixed with 4000k, I think purple or red LEDs will bring out more purple color out of yours plants, perhaps more resin, or different terpene profiles, but overall, I don't think it makes a huge difference, it's more about watts per square foot and growing medium/style, chemicals vs organics, your soil amendments, environments, etc. ever since I have harvested great weed out of vero29 s alone with no other light source in the grow room I am not as worried about trying to diversify the light spectrum. I like to supply the plants 3000k-5000k range for all stage of plant growth if I can help it but right now most of my flower room is in the 3500k range.
