Thanks for posting that. I’ve seen other info on UV but nothing on blue (430nm).

Nice that sounds like a good mix, I’ve heard of people having great results with combining MH and HPs like those dual arc bulbs.

You can get florecent uva uvb tubes that will ramp up the frost and increase thc, they are good. Might be worth checking out as a add on if you use led lighting.

Some of the higher thc numbers they are coming out with nowadays was all possible partly due to the progresion of lighting to what it is now. The wide band in white looking led lighting has the widest band of lighting which includes all colours an not just little spikes of certain colours like previous lighting. Its some of the first lighting that is matching the sun. Would be nice if you could tip the balance to be blue heavier or red heavier aswell as having far far reds and the uva an uvb aswell.

Yea I got a 6 watt bug zapper in my tent it’s got some UV. I was using a reptile floro but i stopped since I already have enough uv/ near-uv with the MH
The so called “full spectrum” leds are just little spikes in the spectral graph and are nowhere near the spectrum of the sun.
I believe floros are closer to the spectrum of the sun since they at least have far infrared. Half of the sun’s spectrum is far infrared, leds have none of that.
I believe the closest lights to the spectrum of the sun are 6000 - 10,000 k metal halides or ceramic metal halides.

Philips/Signify claim up to 4.0 umol/j for their commercial blurples but they run on 200V+ and available in commercial quantities only I think...
California Lightworks still makes their Solar System blurples and you can choose your level of blurpliness with them:

That's how some growers dealt with it but, for a lot of growers and, for the cannabis industry in general, that wasn't a viable option.
The cost of buying, installing, and maintaining another set of lights would have added to both initial and ongoing costs. In addition, that approach would have added the complexity and hassle of off shutting of lights, something that should be avoided for photoperiod cannabis, to do plant maintenance.
All told, blurples were a failure in the marketplace yet LED's were rapidly embraced when "white" or "full spectrum" LED's became available.

Blurples are bad for your vision, they're the opposite of stealth (anyone who sees a purple light in your window knows WTF you're doing) and they're inefficient. A more cost effective option would be a cheap full-spectrum qb style light; Mars Hydro, Bloom Plus, Unit Farm, and a ton of "just fine" Chinese off-brands.

I did pretty good with FSGTEK 600watt. They have the color your describing and the flower was delightful enough. I’ve moved on to much more powerful cmh though, for now.

That must be very frustrating - no one here understood your question except you. I hope you find an audience that's more suitable.

i recon once you have found your blurpleyiest blurple you can find you should paint your walls with glow in the dark paint!. not only will look sick as! it will also improve your yeild cause your buds will grow in the night, thus making your set up more efficient than the "so called" "full spectrum white led" nonsense witchcraft that everyone has been fooled by.
