My CLW SS550 got around a pound with 400w each. First grow temps 65-75ish 4 plants in 5gallon containers. It's white red and blue. It works

I think the biggest problem is most of the R/W led diodes are ran too soft or too low efficiency to have a docent output for the past how many years so it's gotten a very bad rep fucking over growers that expect a mars 1200 or king 1200 to produce what the sellers say it will.

Yeah , efficient monos work and have their place IMO........also his floodlight "test" isn't pulling the same wattage(50 vs 38w) so the R/B is drawing 25% less and gave him the same amount of tomatoes....lol......it costs him less to get the same yield..

Yeah. I Didnt watch the video I skipped through and saw plants. Figured the limp plant did better because tomatos were good and it was a lot less wattage....but that doesn't suit everyone's agenda of hating on Burple. Mars and SK and all the epiled companies really gave blue and red a bad rep.

yep, shitty diodes are shitty diodes........no matter the kelvin, nm, whatever

osram, cree, philips make great horti mono leds...........sliver state relief/ the groove showed what they can do vs traditional efficient white HPS.

Not hating this blurple light. Nice buds. I have seen discussion on the bleaching tips being caused by too intense of blue monos. I do still use a couple a51 red and white diode lights, not blurple but a strange rosey white light. My first blurple was an l 270w Lumigrow. I also have a Vipar 300 watt 60 diode which is a bright blurple and it produced nicely but not as efficient as the a51 stuff. Could not keep all the diodes going at the same time. Top quality diodes these days are much more efficient and having powerful whites in the mix is great. The Hans panels have always garnered respect.

Some folks just like blurple or blurple/white. Blurple makes me uncomfortable, it just does. So do some hps bulbs.

ChilLED has a pretty good article on how plants react to light. My understanding is that red+blue is extremely well absorbed by plants but larger plants can benefit from more green light in white light since green can penetrate deeper into leaves and canopy, thus "feeding" the whole plant.

Article on plant's reaction to different wavelengths (check out the references at the bottom of the page, too):
