    Default heres a crazy idea? they like blue light for vegging right, i have blue poster board

    yea
    so i was thinking about making an led array. but then i read about how plants want all the spectrum even tho they prefer a few close areas. so i was thinking of putting BLUE poster board around my grow box instead of the white or whatever your using, to reflect a more blue light.

    would you think its better?
    idk i will try.

    Sounds like a good idea, though since blue is a darker color it is going to absorb more than it will reflect.

    Maybe get a white poster board and put blue lines on it maybe an 1/2 inch thick?
    Dunno, but it sounds like it may work.

    you would lose a lot of lumens. the poster board would absorb a lot of the total lumens and reflect back those only in the blue specrum so if a light has 1000 lumens you only end up with those in the blue spectrum which is only part of that 1000 lumens

    is it just me or does it look like KK got the wrong kind of plants in his setup? I like the idea of puttin up the bblue pster board, but like someone was sayin, u'd probobly lose a lot of lumens. i wonder if it'd work if they had some blue mylar, or maybe even red?
