hi all,
Looking into getting a custom spectrum LED. I wanted the 740nm IR but the company replied saying they only have 850nm IR. My question is, would this be suitable for growing? This is the spectrum I had in mind.
1x IR 730nm
8x deep red 660nm
1x red 630nm
2x blue 450nm
2x cool white 5700k - 6000k
1x warm white 2700k
Per module if possible.
Thanks

Hi no1da!
Why you want to add IR740nm? I would use it as seperat flower initiator, but only for 10 minutes per day.
The next point is your red ratio. Why using only 1x 630nm but 8x 660nm?
I think 6x 630 and 3x 660nm is more suitable for plants.
It sounds as if you wanted to equip a 45w chinese bulb for e27. If so, let it be!
Better not waste money, but still read a couple of days to learn how to build a DIY.
