not long ago I inherited a (practically) brand new LED-Cob light.
This light has 2 dimmer dials that can control light intensity -- one for blue/veg and one for red/flowering.
As a pretty new grower (a few old school grows in the 90's) I've got an okay grasp of (some) of the science behind blue/red spectrum and what they mean to plants, but just wanted some feedback on what would be optimal - back in the day i went through a few grows with just HPS and I got reasonable results.
So, according to the tiny manual it came with it says to just use the blue dial/spectrum during vegetative growth.
And then to use both blue and red dimmer dials for flowering.
Is this correct? no red at all during veg?
I ask this since many LED's dont have 2 dimmers and are full spectrum (but still mostly in the red?) out of the box.
Any thoughts with these type of LED/COB combo?
Thanks!
