LM301B + 660NM?

[Blinky38]

Hello,

Just a quick question, I'm looking at some nice lm301b boards with 240 lm301b and 16 pcs xpe 660nm. These will draw 96w from the wall.

Would 3500k + 660nm be good or because of the added red would it be better to go for 4000k with 660nm?

Thank y'all

Id just go with 3500k with added red rather than the 4000k but both will do good.

I would go with 3500K, especially since the 660s are 1:15 ratio.

Thanks guys, would it be any good to add 730nm? If so how many of the 660nm should I replace for the 730nm?

For a pure flowering light id go for 3000k and i would add a couple of farreds/730s.

The lights will be used for full cycle. I want at least 3500k because of the added blue. Have grown with 3000k only side by side vs hps and plants ended up almost identical in size. I favor smaller/stockier plants.

If so id probably avoid putting in far reds and maybe try to grow with white and red on separate channels until youre sure the plants grow the way you like. Get boards done when you know what kinda plant the spectrum grows.
