Work in progress..
I think 630nm was important when we were using monos and neutral. Neutral white was the choice when warm whites were running less than a 100 lumens per watt. Now warm white is the best choice. I didn't see any increase in yield or bud size with 630nm. That's on multiple strains I'm familiar with. Warm white has plenty 630nm...adding more took it to a unnatural level making pods shoot out. Almost the same thing I noticed with too much blue. 660nm yielded just as well with TIGHT..DENSE structure. Too much will stretch..so the correct amount is on the lower end.
Warm white enhanced, enriched, supplemented. Higher cri brings out better looking, more vigorous, and naturally healthy plants. Touch of violets (can't hurt), touch of deep red, bit of neutral (blues, yellows, greens..can't hurt), maybe a little UVA (many functions)..not too much of anything.
Or simply..warm white and deep red will perform much better than just white.
Philips seems to agree..

Just changed my veg light from a cool, neutral, and warm cree xml setup. Replaced with my much broader flower light. They literally colored up and got vigorous overnight. I can get them healthy enough with plain white..but not nearly as vigorous.
Just my 20c
I mentioned them once...because i suspect there are Reps of theirs in this very forum...other then that....they are just another LED panel making company to me....Really?
Chronic, FranJan, Hyroot and spaz comment on them ALL THE TIME (Did I leave anyone out, oh yeah, Bad Karma)
LOL Sure buddy, whatever you sayI mentioned them once...because i suspect there are Reps of theirs in this very forum...other then that....they are just another LED panel making company to me....
So stop making up lies about me please....
no we comment on your boring "buy bml' bullshit when you havent done a grow from start to finish with them...Really?

if someone came on here telling you to buy a light without a completed grow you would be saying the exact same thing but get emotional when people call you out on it
well thanks for proving me right that you get emotional when people get tired of your BML spruiking and yes your agenda is quite clear....My agenda is clear, yours not so much

From that very article:650nm -700nm
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC550018/pdf/plntphys00410-0010.pdf
\between 680 - 700 is where up to 75% of the light is absorbed by chlorophyll
your point in reiterating ?From that very article:

The highest Emerson Enhancement Effect (in this study) was 653nm red with 730nm far red. Which is rather close to most other studies. It does very slightly between species, but in general it between 729-744nm far and 650-667nm deep red.Far red below 720nm always has diminished returns in comparison to >720nm. There are literally thousands of different studies on Red drop and the Emerson Effect.
Is that the Emerson Effect is not between 680-700 as CK stated or 650-700 as you stated. It is the use of deep and far red in combination with each other where the difference is at least 60nm that create the enhancement. The best recorded results were in lettuce using 732nm and 661nm.your point in reiterating ?
But what about 2 to 1 660nm to 730 like Illumitex does? It's just really hard for me to believe what you're saying because I couldn't imagine 2 to 1 730nm to 660nm growing more weed.more farred then red will double your yield, believe me and have nice grow.
After reading into this a whole lot more i fail to see where your getting this information from as too much far red induces stretching which does not as far as im aware help atall with yieldmore farred then red will double your yield, believe me and have nice grow.
no you are wrong again. 730 has nothing to do with Emerson effect. I used to think it did too. It has to do with phytchrome state.Is that the Emerson Effect is not between 680-700 as CK stated or 650-700 as you stated.

Show me where I ever said BUY THIS LIGHT, though I am close to saying it NOW, and after only one week.
I always said it is worth considering, an option to the others.
That you don't understand plain English is a testament to your education
It is the few, like you, who seem unable to put 2+2+2 +2 together (Quality Diodes + Quality company + 3 x 3 homogenous footprint + Choose your own spectrums) that confuse the people looking for guidance.
My agenda is clear, yours not so much
I back my comments up with regular pics in m thread.
Where's your thread Big Mouth?
Quoting a source that states itself that "needs improvement" and needs further siting isn't suggested.no you are wrong again. 730 has nothing to do with Emerson effect. I used to think it did too. It has to do with phytchrome state.
since you like to quote and cherry pick wiki lol
