Just read your post. Im very familiar with how plants are shown to respond to certain wavelegnths. While I totally agree that 2 plants grown under the same energy, the one with the wavelegnths that are most efficient for photosynthesis.
That being said my own personal theory is that a realativly small percentage of energy is needed to offset that. I theorize that depending on the spectrum being used that number can be as little as 15% all the way up to 40% for extreme spectrums. This is not including anything very far out of the visable range of the spectrum.
I have nothing really to base this on other than my experience and observation.
The fact that for 550 bucks I can get a 1500 hps and bulb that will produce 206,000 lumens. According to my theory you would need somewhere between 150,000 to 175,000 led lumens. I dunno what the cost for that many led panels to produce that amount lumens is but im guessing its more than 550..
