OK so according to official Photosynthesis breakdown the process utilises about a ration of 7:5 (430nm & 680NM peaks)
So my question is why is everyone adopting the reverse of these findings (see chart)
So Looking at the absorption rate above on Chlorophyll a line (which is the main line to consider) more blue is absorbed than red by a ration of about 7:5
So why of why is it normally the opposite of this I am seeing in many grow light spectrums? Where is the proof that during flowering more red is used as opposed to the ratio indicated for photosynthesis in the chart above of 7 to 5 ratio of blue to red absorption?
