Its crazy how quickly some of these technologies develop, compared to others. Feels like leds have been around since cars or tvs but nope.

I see Wide Spectrum lights now.

Gamers like purple lights .. just look at modern computers

I have bought a ton of mis grade blurpple lights when cannabis growing first started.
Switched to cobs and the colas we’re bigger in size however the potency was lacking.
Added back some blurples to the mix and wala perfect combo.

interesting, good to know!

Doubt it completely crosses over, but it’s very common in the aquarium world to turn off/turn down your blue LEDs to limit the growth of algae. It works shockingly well 👍
Urban Leaf
that 100% crosses over. blue light is what plants use more heavily for vegetative growth. It’s the red(er) frequencies they use more for flowering.

@Urban Leaf Do you have a recipe for red and blue intensity? It is for an aquarium but I have snails to take care of algae so I’m thinking of turning up my blue light.
Victor B
I thought I should add a little more. I’ve got highlight red plants in the aquarium. So I’m slowly upping the intensity of my light to find out where I like it the best and get good growth out of the more difficult red plants.
On a more difficult level I am trying to convert a holiday cactus to grow underwater. I know I’m crazy right? Not as crazy as you might think I’ve had some limited success. Emphasis on Limited, I’m thinking I could probably live with a few more snails if the blue light might get things moving again.

Can you talk about plant need light rather than talk about lights 🤣😂
Urban Leaf
ermmmmmm…..? please explain?
Bonnie McCormack
@Urban Leaf isn’t that what you did? lol

Don’t get emotional 😭
Urban Leaf
it’s hard not to, when we see so many people continue to use these silly purple lights….!
Darren Wolf
can you use the purple lights as a top up for cannabis plants? they would be getting sun in the morning and purple when the sun goes down
Urban Leaf
don’t see why not! although cannabis isn’t really our area of expertise – so you might wanna get a second opinion on that one…

Well, I think all that is silly. Sunlight nor daylight is ever blue or green or purple.
Yellow sometimes, but in the brightest time of the day, noon, the natural light
is WHITE.

My seedlings grew fine sitting on the back of my kithen stove under the cosy rangehood light. My niece gave me the tri color grow light and I’ve seen not much difference to be honest. My near by plants protested tho with leaves curling and wilting. I’ll know more when the true leaves appear.

I wander what’s the difference between regular lights and grow lights? It all seem to me like a gimmick. Unless someone can explain to me logically what’s special about grow lights.

My coffee plant bloomed and made cherries with a purple light. Not ditching it.

8:58 I’ll use a neutral light for my plants but personally my entire room is covered in a 30m long purple christmas light that my neighbor gifted me 😅 I have photophobia with migranes, so I’m really light sensitive, purple light is a bit more bearable and since it’s spread out over a bajillion leds it doesn’t hurt my eyes so much, but for my plants I’ll start using a diff light!

Purple light makes me think “shady weed growing op” lol
