" would lead to unnatural short and bushy plants and more foxtailing."
...have flowered with all 5000k and none of that happened....
[but then again it wasn't theoretically grown.like so many tests here.]
Lol. For sure. I've grown with all 6400 and 10,000k mixed and they grew just fine. Yield was a little less than the mixed spectrum grows I've done. Not by much.
Anywhere between 3000k and about 6500k. Has enough red and blues to balance out.
I've said it before. Mixed spectrum works the best but about any of them will grow pot.
If I had to choose one spectrum, I like the 4000k 90 cri cobs.
Numbers and what not are fine. It's just some of us understand the numbers don't always match real life.
I can you many a time when I was in the military engineers would say the numbers don't lie or this part was designed for such and such. Yea. Ok. Half the time I would have to fix thier screwups.
Not saying graphs, charts and numbers lie. Just saying sometimes what the numbers say and real life don't match up.
