https://www.rollitup.org/t/strips-or-qb.949746/ May be worth a peruse coco

The qb120 are pretty damn cheap ($29 on the link I supplied), don't require a heat sink or fans. Can even get away with no fixture. Strips are also cheap, but will req a little more electrical work and a fixture.

The K stands for Kelvin. Its a color temperature. The lower the number. The more red it is. And the higher the number. The more blue it is.

It's all part of the visible light spectrum.
I didn't use to see much stretch when switching bulbs to flower bulbs I'm not sure but I was advised against using them and told to go back to dual spectrum but would I be right in thinking there beneficial for high stretch flowering plants?

Visible light is all part of the radio spectrum. This is anything from gamma radiation. To x rays. Which also includes microwaves, infrared and ultra violet.

They'll fill you in on plenty of stuff.
Honestly bro I have read so much stuff on the net and in books and yeah all your words and explanations are way beyond my experiences and Evan if your words and explanations can make you 1 % more yield or flavour it's worth it but in all reality don't your bulbs take care of feeding the plant all them kelvins and frequencys so we don't have to think about it? It's my first day and I'm full of questions? It can get really complicated and seem like an extremely long process to get to a master grower especially if you got to start breaking down light bulb efficiency through tests fuc# me it will take more than a lifetime to get it all in your head no? If I gotta learn it then I will but honestly when you enter your grow area are you taking into consideration all these factors? I am open to understanding and I'm already thinking to my self do some strains respond differently to different levels of kelvin considering some strains are from completely different continents and have different levels of sun power etc?

Don't you mean 6.5k watts and 4K watts it's my first day I'm trying to get with it
Ruby fruit you got loads of likes and high profile shi# and you keep liking my comments
Example
2700k flowering
6500k veg
yeah lower blue for flower higher red bro help me out what's to worry about don't your bulbs worry about all that for you or are you on about dimmer ballasts and stuff to accommodate choosy strains and optimise flower times Or something I'm struggling to grip what's important ?

I'm not an indoor grower as such bro I just use T5s which was for my seedlings only to start with
No ballast n crap for my T5 I just run a small tent with small fan thats it and get these sort of plants from it ...
Cheap set up jimmy cost me something like 150 bucks for tent and light
U ain't gonna grow a money tree in this size tent but you can have some fun
I'm an outdoor grower first and foremost...
