For what I know for know is that the thing it matters with LEDs for growing is the spectrum not the lumen and that is a serious question for me.correct me if I'm wrong and tell me why do you think that the 1w or 3w are more efficient ? because of lumen?
200 280 nm UVC ultraviolet range which is extremely harmful to plants because it is highly toxic.
200 280 nm UVC ultraviolet range which is extremely harmful to plants because it is highly toxic.
- 280 315 nm Includes harmful UVB ultraviolet light which causes plants colors to fade.
- 315 380 nm Range of UVA ultraviolet light which is neither harmful nor beneficial to plant growth.
- 380 400 nm Start of visible light spectrum. Process of chlorophyll absorption begins. UV protected plastics ideally block out any light below this range.
- 400 520 nm This range includes violet, blue, and green bands. Peak absorption by chlorophyll occurs, and a strong influence on photosynthesis. (promotes vegetative growth)
- 520 610 nm This range includes the green, yellow, and orange bands and has less absorption by pigments.
- 610 720 nm This is the red band. Large amount of absorption by chlorophyll occurs, and most significant influence on photosynthesis. (promotes flowering and budding)
- 720 1000 nm There is little absorption by chlorophyll here. Flowering and germination is influenced. At the high end of the band is infrared, which is heat.
- 1000+ nm
