You can just add some supplemental red boards (cheap) and not replace your 3000k light. I have flowered with a 3000k HLG 200 V1 without any additional red and all was good.

Uh right so these reds can blow? Quicker?
That what i like to hear was getting worried thinking this was no good for flower with no reds, I'll add reds in future like you all said separate but for now I'll try as it is

Anywhere from 2000k to like 7000k will both flower and veg your plant just fine.

Light that is more red (lower in the Kelvin scale) is more suited to flower because they promote dense growth with tight node spacing and more foliage.

Light that is more blue (higher in the kelvin scale) is more suited to veg (for some people) because it promotes faster vertical growth, further node spacing with less foliage.

Got it thanks

Im sorry this is not quite right.

Blue light grows more shorter compact more leafy plants and red more stem and branch elongation and bud sites.

When you add more red, you are effectively lowering your Kelvin, to 2900 or 2700k

But if an lm301b puts out 4x the light of a red led for the same wattage, you are blowing your wattage on red LEDs when you can get 4x the efficiency by using the lm301b's.

Then there is the red LEDs not lasting as long.... red lights burning out well before the lm301b's are even half done.

That's why supplemental light is perfect. If you want more red or blue.

Interesting that you say that. Almost feels like some red helps build roots.
I never really saw a major difference between 7000k,6400k,4000k.
vertical growth wise. 7000k does get alot of super healthy looking growth up top. Thats about all.


But notice the roots really really take off under the 4k light.

Thats because all the “white” diodes are actually blue phosphers like a t-5 flourescent bulb. No real red in there regardless of advertised color temp. The inclusion of the red diodes now proves it.
