right now the leds i have are warm white 3000k, with a plan to add 3500k and 4000k to the mix. should i add some red and blue too? i know that these colors are in the whites but wondering if a boost of them would help. thanks in advance. peace

This for flowering or veg? I'm interested in the feedback myself as I know there are some strong camps in the all white and deep red supplement crowd. Guessing blue isn't needed, but I'm new at this! Grabbing the popcorn....

I only have a little bit of experience growing with LEDs, but I don't think blue leds really make sense if you're using any form of whites as whites are just blue leds with a phosphor coating.

Red LED Supplementation is useful for increasing the R:FR ratio of the light source, which is essentially the light's "quality".

so just red? nothing else? i had looked at the 5000k but found it to be more green, that is what got me to wondering about the red/blue grow lights. peace

I like to add the new cree 670nm to the 3000k 3070s I also have a very small amount of 450,480.
Maybe 1 each of 450,480 for every 2 cobs. And 2 670 for everycob
