Optimal LED color temp
I want to custom order a few 3w diode fixtures from a supplier in China each in about the 120-150w range. It appears that most grow lights from china are targeted towards people who own grow-ops. Yep. I know that many other indoor gardeners use red to promote flowing and budding, but to me this doesn't make much sense when trying to sustain a plant over the long term. I could be wrong. Since bananas are rather heavy on the foliage side, would it be more prudent to get a fixture with more blue than red? I notice that most of the fixtures on the market (LED fixtures meant to replace HPS) are 95 percent red vs 5 percent blue. I am thinking of a 50/50 set up and I am also thinking about making 30 percent of the fixture 4k white, since I absolutely cant stand the deep purple light.
The plants in question are 3ft Musa sp. Dwarf Cavendish.
What do you guess think? any suggestions?
