5500k leds affect on veg/flowering ??

[watchmego4it]

Ok so hi I'm jake. My very first grow has turned into a monster crop for sure. I'm currently 2 weeks into flowering. Pistils just starting. I'm currently running a 1000 watt air cooled hps on a mover but wanted to add some extra wattage for more chunk..

I added a 400 hps and a few floros for side lighting but more light equals more bud I believe so I wanna incorporate some led stuff that I have from being an electrician throughout the years.


I also have some extra 100 watt leds and led floro tubes that are 5500k but the first time around I couldn't get anything to grow under them. Kept yellowing or burning. The light was intense for the wattage though.

So if I added some leds that were 5500k would the plants benefit from it during flowering ????

"but more light equals more bud I believe"

not necessarily true.. at all. depends on grows skill / plant manipulation / watering - fertilization techniques / pot sizes / genetics ........

it's why you see some hit over 1 gram a watt, while some never hit .6 gram a watt...



onto led, as I have more experience then most.. no I would not use that color to flower. I suggest you pick up some 3000k or 2700k , and if you are picking up, I suggest a high color render index, they have more red in them, a little higher blue, but not like the 5500k led's...

I'll have to test out the 5500k leds when the flowering room clears. Hate to waste good technology.

Pineapple chunk monster pics coming. Ak 48 too. <--fav right now.
