Guys ive seen some posts about LED flood light and am using 1x50w 2700k.

But has any1 tried to finish flowering with just 2700k/6500k LED flood light?
Or i need to add some UV/660/630nm?

YOU WILL GET A FINE RESULT COMBINING 6500 + 2700 1:6, BUT, YOU NEED SUFFICIENT INTENSITY TO EVENLY COVER YOUR GROW SPACE. SHOOT FOR ~ 50W/SFT.

KEEP IN MIND, NOT ALL WATTS ARE CREATED EQUAL

Am thinking on 3x50w-2700k + 1x6500k led flood lights in 60x60x150cm growbox. Should that be ok?

Or would i get better results with 1x140w led prakasa full spectrum 5w chips + 2x50w-2700kelvin led flood light?

Both setups are predicted for 1 plant.

Most ufos are just crap. Lots of completed grows using household flood lights

I have vegged with them and used them as supplements when I was using one of the crappy R/B ufos

I do have 2 ufos that are of high quality but they are not in production

^^^No you don't, you have two pieces of shit a company gave you so you would leave them alone. If they worked so good why don't they put them in production? Cause Neutral whites have too much green in them to be effective in growing MMJ, but you haven't read those 2 papers yet so you keep recommending NWs to noobs. Plus you've never used a CREE bulb in your life so what do you know about proper ratios? And how much wattage to use with them?

You live in dream world PF. Go back to it.

WOW

Where does this hostility coming from? Still upset that I hooked up with BML?

All anyone needs do is go back into several grow threads I did on RIU, circa 2013 (with pics) where I grew using a mix of Cree household bulbs + Feit + Philips, then later adding them as side lighting, along with 4 WHITE T8 led tubes above canopy.

The "two pieces of shit a company gave you" were gifted from Jeff at A 51. I believe they used Helios diodes; one 3500k, the other 5000k. Someone at Helios went behind the scenes to China, ending the relationship. So IYO, A51, Apache Tech, BML... panels are POS?

There are several 3000K COB only grows completed on RIU, with very impressive results.

Greengenes707 built the largest 3000k COB so far, called the Drone. His thread and YT video is available to anyone, clearly showing white works fantastic

Also, my last grow using a BML SPYDR 600 (mine with mostly white, + a few 450s & 625s, produced the best results I have had to date, with many very impressed customers

Any credibility you had, you just totally destroyed, and for what purpose?

^^ probably not. That's a tough task unless you buy a really good led panel that uniformly covers the canopy with > 30 umoles/m^/sec. At this point that costs ~ $300+ US

It could work to your advantage as they tend to be shorter plants

You could also learn to LST (low stress train) them
