Hi everyone, first post on this forum.
I've been reading quite a bit about grow lights, spectrums, etc. One thing I'm wondering is why some led lamps only have full spectrum led chips (like the lm301h), while other include some far red, or some IR, or some UV. And of those that include these "extra" wavelength, some include only UV, some only IR, some both, etc...
So my question is, why would someone choose one type vs another? Why go with only full spectrum while you can have IR + UV, and why choose this while you can have IR + UV + Far Red? Or on the contrary, why have a lamp that includes everything instead of having only a full spectrum ones and adding IR and UV bars in between the full spectrum ones?
Thanks for your insights,
Olivier
