I doen't seem to be able to edit my posts??
I have the spectrums reversed in last post.
old article but the spectrum is right:

[TABLE="width: 100%, align: center"]
[TR]
[TD="width: 95"]
200 - 280 nm[/TD]
[TD="width: 506"]UVC ultraviolet range which is extremely harmful to cannabis plants because it is highly toxic.[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="width: 95"]
280 - 315 nm[/TD]
[TD="width: 506"]Includes harmful UVB ultraviolet light which causes cannabis plants colors to fade.[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="width: 95"]
315 - 380 nm[/TD]
[TD="width: 506"]Range of UVA ultraviolet light which is neither harmful nor beneficial to cannabis plant growth.[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="width: 95"]
380 - 400 nm[/TD]
[TD="width: 506"]Start of visible light spectrum. Process of chlorophyll absorption begins. UV protected plastics ideally block out any light below this range.[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="width: 95"]
400 - 520 nm[/TD]
[TD="width: 506"]This range includes violet, blue, and green bands. Peak absorption by chlorophyll occurs, and a strong influence on photosynthesis. (promotes vegetative growth)[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="width: 95"]
520 - 610 nm[/TD]
[TD="width: 506"]This range includes the green, yellow, and orange bands and has less absorption by pigments.[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="width: 95"]
610 - 720 nm[/TD]
[TD="width: 506"]This is the red band. Large amount of absorption by chlorophyll occurs, and most significant influence on photosynthesis. (promotes flowering and budding)[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="width: 95"]
720 - 1000 nm[/TD]
[TD="width: 506"]There is little absorption by chlorophyll here. Flowering and germination is influenced. At the high end of the band is infrared, which is heat.[/TD]
[/TR]
