Hello.
Summer's over ...
( Was way hot ! )
Anyway ...
Bits of quick info ...
Starting from the 'blue/violet ' edge of colors ...
Blue/ violet leds ( 395- 450 nm )
Some power of these wls ,won't hurt the growing youngsters ...
Can be used into early flowering to enhance fragances and flavors .( some plants may also increase trichome production -slightly ..)
Avoid the use into late flowering as it really oxidises Α-Δ9-THA-C5A into CBNA -C5A ( and into CBN-C5 -after decarboxylation,of course..),really fast..
In simple words, it will darken-prematurely the trichome gland's resin content ...Sleepy weed,with low THC content ...(Good as painkiller,though).
Blue-Cyan 450-500 nm / Cool White 7000-6000K and /or Neutral white 5000-6000 K ( blue chip -yellow phosphor ,both types)
Your best friends during vegetative growing...
Protein biosynthesis is enhanced to the max .
( Feed extra nitrogen ( N ) at approx 3:1 weight nitrates:ammoniates ( NO3 : NH4 ) for protein biosynthesis support
and pay extra attention to Magnesium (Mg)/ Calsium(Ca) /Sulphur(S)/Boron(B) & Iron(Fe) ,as their deficiencies oftenly occur(99% of times in combination ) ,under heavy light (lots of power ) of the above mentioned leds . )
Better to keep Phosphorus(P) <50 ppm .
Use of wide angles is suggested ( >90° ).
Avoid great power/numbers of monochromatic ones.
If use whites ( Cool / Neutral ) ,use as much as different color bins possible
( I.e 4000-4200-5000-5100-5600-6000-6200 Ks' ,instead of 4 x NW 5000 K & 3x CW 6000 K ..Differate things as much as possible ...)
If you can take good care of feeding ,growth then becomes truly amazing !
Green-Yellow 500-580 nm
Must be there at all stages .
~ 20% of total power at minimum .
Use whites to supply those wls is a nice idea.
(usually it just comes along,no matter what...)
Avoid monochromatic greens or yellows .
They can cause 'weird' ,illuminated area isolated ,effects ..Weird effects..
You're messing with the 'anti - competitor plant ,anti- herbivore insect defence systems' of plant(S) if monochromatics are used,in that case.
Amber- middle reds 580-630 nm
The main "fuel " .Period .
Should be >30% of total power .Up to 60%.
Use Wide Angles.
Or Warm Whites .
Deep-reds 630-660 nm
Massive carbohydrate biosynthesis..
Means massive flowering and massive flowers .
Yet ...
It can totally ,absolutely F#(& up the vegetative growth of some species ...
Well ...They become really tall 'n' thin ....
Way tall 'n' spindly ..
Avoid exposure of young plants in such wls .
But Flowering is massive .
( always in combination with 580-630nm amber/reds or extra warm*, warm whites -*of highest CRI )
Should not be more of 40% of total power (alone ,those wls
-For the 12 hour regime of flowering.
If more in power, then additional FR ( 700-750 nm ) light should be used ...)
Edit : Don't forget to increase Potassium feeding ( K ) .Deep reds go side by side
with great to huge plant needs in Potassium .
See ya ...
