Hey all, first post on this site, usually use another but there is way more info on LED lights here!
Was just after a little bit of advice.
I just ordered my LED lights and was wondering how i should wire these up.
I bought:
8 x 6500K cool white
4 x 430-440nm
8 x 450-455nm
4 x 620-630nm
16 x 640-650nm
12 x 660nm
4 x 730nm
I know that the lower spectrum (430-455nm) lights are more beneficial during veg growth and the higher spectrum (620-730nm)are more beneficial for flowering.
Should i wire it up so during veg growth only the whites and 430-455nm are running and when flowering only the whites and 620-730nm are running?
Also i have just noticed some of the lights emit different levels of lumen. should the ratio be in lumen?
A ratio of:
1 x 430-440nm
2 x 450-455nm
1 x 620-630nm
4 x 640-650nm
3 x 660nm
1 x 730nm
Seeing as the lumen are as follows the number of lights shall be:
15lm 430-440nm
50lm 450-455nm
80lm 620-630nm
80lm 640-650nm
70lm 660nm
20lm 730nm
21 x 430-440nm
13 x 450-455nm
4 x 620-630nm
16 x 640-650nm
14 x 660nm
16 x 730nm
Are the 730nm all that important that that many are needed?
Thanks for the help
