Ok. Thats in the green spectrum. That part of the spectrum isn't usless? Is it? I was watching Dr Bruce and i may have misunderstood but green is doing the least for plants growth?
Below is my lights spectrum. I really have no idea how to read it. I have just been trying to use common sense. But i would really like to understand it. Can you make any sense of it? Is it even a good light?

Grow station 640w
I think its the pro model. Not sure though. The barcode sticker is where the word pro would be. But there is no other writing though. Weird why they would cover it up if thats the case.
I guess im not sure how to link it

Once they are healthy you can run about 25-30k and then slowly bump up from there. For 18/6 about 45k will be max if you have things dialed in but work up slowly. Once in flower you can jump to 40k and work up slowly to max about 65k because the 12 hour light cycle. It's all about DLI.

Lights out that fine bit you would benefit a bit from higher with lights on... id say you wanna be atleast 72-75 and ideally 75-77f but only make small changes one at a time.
