So basically you agree w/ me one way or another. It's either a waste or it doesn't blend. Pick your poison. Both say adding those 660 clusters to that frame is a waste.> They would need to surround the cob to blend. I'm not a fan of that set-up. You'd be delivering the red to separate parts of the plant only.
I just wanted to point out this line here as having the most amount of bullshit.
"Getting different LED colors to blend" is a marketing ploy. Each of these lights put off millions of photons (PER WATT) so as long as those red LED's are somewhere inside your grow area and pointed at your plant then you've nothing to worry about.
It's nonsensical to add 630-660nm to white light since it's a well established fact that green is more photosynthetically efficient than red after ~150 PPFD in strong white light. 730nm Far Red however is a different story due to photomorphological effects.
If you REALLY want more red then go with 3000k 90 CRI.
Agreed.
Adding a cob to the middle of some red would help getting you the 630 nm or 660 you won't get from high CRI. But I do love those 90 CRI cobs.
BTW, I don't believe in 660. It's way overrated. Green does make up for it. 630 is another story w/ 730 which is a must.
