Hey all, I have just received my custom led panel, they made this just for my liking (plants best interest at heart of-course) from one of my Asian suppliers. I've pick my own wave lengths and ratio's, details as follows: 288pc*3wchip 60degree optics ( 10% 410nm, 15% 430nm, 15% 453nm, 40% 642nm, 20% 662nm) 864w only consuming 300w. This light is extremely bright with 3w 60degree LEDs, I chose these wavelengths and ratio's from the graph of peak absorption rates in chlorophyll. Now I want every one to give some insight on these ratios and suggestions are welcome, but please no negative comments this isnt a HID thread just

Sorry for all the editing don't post much, but I have been learning from the forum for a while now. I read some good info on cartenoids and their rolls in the plants life. My understanding is that they are vitamins like antioxidants they protect against disease ,uv damage and so on, now they have their peak absorption rates aswell, I want to include them along with the ones above to create the perfect led panels. Will the LED Pros share some info on what type of wavelength and ratios their using and they yields they produce. I seen some damn good grows with leds in the wrong wave length i can only imagine them at peak absorption. I need some advice on ratios I should use with the 2 graphs of wave lengths ( the lights can isolate colors for different stages tho, a timer can be added too, I didn't get these on mine money$$)> the wattage wont be a huge issue either because Hps is only like 30% usable light (if i recall) 1000w=300w. 300wled @ 100% absorption has to be equal if not more efficient..
