Bridgelux EB Gen 2 - best color temp for veg & flower?

Hey y'all,

Planning an 800w flower light and 200w veg light, both using Bridgelux EB 560mm Gen 2... just wondering what the consensus is on the best color temperature for veg and flower?

Thanks.

I run 3000k samsung seed to flower
I would get 3500k but then again 3000k does flower better but lacks in veg.(need more blue)
I think a small 4000k for veg and more watts to 3000k flower is ideal.
I am not at all an expert just going by what I have seen these last months I have had a LED to grow with

Agreed. 4000K for veg and 3000/3500K for flower

Thanks guys

The 3500k bridgelux cause too much veg growth in flower. I've flowered under 3-4 all three 3, 35, and 4. 3 is the better option of them. My last run under 35s. I didnt like. Caused a more leafy bud structure.

Not too leafy I hope as I've just ordered 100 3500k 4 footers. Wanted 3000k but didn't have the time for the wait from Digikey as they had 3500k in stock but not the 3000k.

Anyone know where the 3000k could be in stock for the bxeb 1120 strips?

I keep hesitating on finishing my order on digikey, was really hoping for the 3000k over the 3500k

Not too awful bad no. But I could tell a difference. You can always add some 660s or somewhere in that NM range to give you a little more bump on the red side. Actually the 3500s veg great. And flowered very well. Other than the extra veg. But those run with a 660 bump might be just about perfect.

lol ya i have them in my cart. I need 22 tho, is it ok to buy a few of the 3500k and mix them?

I have a 23 strip rack with some of each...
3500k, 3000k, 4000K....I forget the breakdown, I figured it out once. Frankenlight was something like 3270K....
(ish)

Im building a light now with 10 3000 bxeb's and 5 3500's for my 3x3. 300watts. Hope it does well. Down to the last few wires before completing
