I’m adding some extra lighting (COB LEDs) to fill the corners of my tent, and increase amount of light. Trying to figure out correct spectrums.
Currently have:
-LEC315 (4200k veg bulb, 3100k flower bulb)
-4x4 tent
Adding:
-4 drop light COB LEDs for corners.
- Either 3000k or 3500k
Ideally, I was thinking I’d turn the COBs on a few weeks after popping seeds, and possibly slowly turn up brightness until I got to the flower flip, then full power I switch my primary LEC BULB to its flower bulb at this time). If I was only using the COBs for flower, I’d just buy the 3000k. But why not get some extra light in veg too? Which is why I’m considering the 3500k COBs.
I’ve heard that the more far red spectrum of the 3000k (600-660nm) can cause stretching in veg.
I was curious if you all think that the extra red of 3000k is THAT important in flower? Or if I should just get the 3500k COBs, leave them on almost the whole time, and just worry about the color spectrum coming out of my primary LEC light?
