I’ve been looking at new lights and see a few company’s are using more than 50% red. I’d say it would be good for flower but not so much for veg. Tall plants. What I don’t understand is how can half of a strip/bar light say 50 red diodes and 50 white diodes around 4k work well from start to finish. The ones I’ve seen are running the gen 4 osram squares over 4.0 j. Blue being around 15%. My question is how much red is to much? Standard use to be 3k for all around now it’s more 4k as years went by. I’ve stayed at 35k but with all this new tech like adjustable spectrums which makes sense but not sure to stick with what I have or tech up! Is anybody growing with 50% or more red and your thoughts. Thanks for looking.
