How should I scrog these? First time.

That is exactly the reason...the rainbow is the entire spectrum reflected as a prism from the suns 25 google watts..

. In grow lights they represent those colours of the spectrum with numbers.

UV (Below purple) purple 6500KV blue 4k and so on.

This is the other spectrum...when you see 720 reds they are FAR left. Like 1750 or 1500 or something like that.

In Kelvin it looks like this

I never really realised how these came together from natural light to artificial light until this was explained . You can see your outdoor plants already lifting and responding to these colours being say blue for example before the direct sunlight even hits your plants in the morning. Interesting

What makes nature so awesome is the light varies throughout the day as you said...The best grow lights are the ones with every spectrum.

2 foot strips with 6500 X 2 and 4000 X 4 and 3000 X 12 or whatever to best duplicate the full range. The light @TheSadVeryBadMadGrower is the best LED strip light you could probably get for range of spectrum. You can run them soft and they would probably last 25 to 30 years. Crazy good.


Or you feed them 3k with far reds and suck it bitches....red stems dont bug me take 1500 TDS !

For visual appeal of a room and a bud i think a 4k board 80CRI makes everything look beautiful and clear to the eye.

CMH 4200 bulb too...dazzling. Actually after seeing that chart i am going to throw 4k into the bloom over the floraflex...3k 4k 3k 3.5k like that.

Imagine if it makes BIG FAT BUDS....oh i can imagine...its happening.

Currently designing a 64 strip light build with a little less whites, more reds and blues and adding UV-a and UV-b into it as well. It won't be completed for some time but she sure is going to be a beast.

What 2' strips are these that come in all these configurations? You and @Streetpro09 have been flaunting these around for a while now and I never thought to ask.

Here are some Par readings from center top top (Par 1750), center of scrog canopy (1220-1280), and the outer edges of the 4x4x scrogg reading around 700. This could cause me to flip sooner than later. Or I could raise light and crank it up. Right now I’ve got it reading 512W on watt meter.

curious if these top top are at 1750 if I should cut them now or bend down and tie down?

also IR temps 77-80

So it’s a fact. Water = changes light. Or light direction.
