Why aren't 4100K bulbs useful to your plants? Isn't this bulb a mix of color between 2700K and 6400K? Maybe it is dependant upon which spectrum the plant can absorb, no?
Thanks much
Thanks much
You were wrong about what Wein's law is on another thread, so instead of educating yourself, you come here and say the same stuff again?Im about fo grow with 6500 &4100k in tandem because if you use weins law and divide the max absorbtion of nnm in chlorophyll A&B of 660&440 u get cor temps that correlate.....
3,000,000/660nnm=4545K
&
3,000,000/440nnm=6818k
Making the bulbs of choice 6500k and 4100k as opposed to 2700k
Thats just ghe numbers.. I know what re recite as far as veg 65 bloom 27
So what is weins law? Or its importance?You were wrong about what Wein's law is on another thread, so instead of educating yourself, you come here and say the same stuff again?
Wein's law is for black body sources! Color temperature for other sources doesn't follow those rules and tell you very little about the spectral power distribution. Color temperature is related to how a human perceives the light. Many spectral power distributions have the same color temperature, so using something like Wein's law the way you are is just plain wrong.
This is what spectral power distribution looks like for black body sources.
Notice how 4000k black body, 4000k MH, and 4000k fluorescent have completely different spectral distributions.
Even the 2700K florescent still are very low in red. It's that 590nm peak that generally gets bigger and the blue and green peaks peak smaller. The peaks themselves don't shift over in wavelength to become more blue or red.

I assume you grow cannabis chiefly lest you noy be on this forum.... Whats your set upFrom wikipedia:
"Wien's displacement law states that the black body radiation curve for different temperatures peaks at a wavelength inversely proportional to the temperature."
It's importance is 0 unless you're growing with incandescent lamps.
