Default Re: Optimal LED color temp

They should have a general purpose plant light I use a cheap one off ebay 300w and it works great .. you can get them for less than $100....If you want a more pleasing light I would just replace part of the red with more white lamps whatever they call daylight or a mixture 3k- 7k. A pure vegging lamp has mostly blue and a small amount of 6k ot 7k white mixed....
Personally I would stick with something they have people using the wrong bandwidth LED's can do more harm than good.

Sticking to a strictly blue and red spectrum just doesn't seem to make sense.
