So, I am running an AgroLED 432 (265w actual). It has the nifty two switches: Veg and Flower. Sine there is only absolutely inconsistent information about LEDs out there, and how people use them, I have basically started off the 18 hours with one hour of just blue, and the rest of the 18 I leave it with both the Veg and Flower swithes turned on. Lol obviously with both on it is very intense light in there. Things are going well, and I do not have any plants that look like they are complaining.
What I have found out is that on Veg, the blue lights, it is not nearly as intense of light in there, so I am curious to know if when the Flower light is on as well, does it basically wash out the blue enough to be effective as possible?
Anyway, the idea that I have is to stat on the 18/6 light cycle, but I'd like to do at least a quarter or a third of the 18 hours using blue light to increase my veg growth to hurry and fill my screen so that I can flip. Basically start the day by lowering my LED (sine the blue is far less intense), and leaving only the Veg blue on for several hours. Come back later, and raise tot he height I like for both being on, turn them both on, and use them both for the remainder of the light period.
Any thoughts, gripes, complains? Hell, any other ideas? I am in my SCRoG and I just did my first tucking last night, so I am getting more and more amped to see it fill up. Worried that the intesity of both switches being on cuts down on the avaiable blue light the plant can absorb since it is still in veg stage.
