Check out theses cree lights, why does one waste so much green?

Wasting Energy?

MODEL
AMARE TECH
the one I like of course!
http://www.amaretechnologies.com/


Will Keep KND XL 1000 for another month then return if not showing anything!

2nd model, older tech, but less eager waste?
Sol Series?


ITS PINK WITH PRICES RANGING FROM 900-$1500?
HOLD, no, Sol has a Pro, as does AMARE but you can add on to existing, I think this is the way to go, wastes some energy with GREEN and YELLOw but at least much closer to HPS if not past and so much more, magnetic?

What happens if the plants light goes off for a second or you shut the lights off and sicovered at dawn a little grey got near not on, but near your plants, ok? Am in/12/12, tent tomorrow?

Don't worry about short periods of darkness that are out of sink with it's used to having. Just try to keep it consistent.

....."The quantum (PPF) response when all photons are weighted equally between 400 and 700 nm; and the relative quantum efficiency curve as determined by the average plant response for photosynthesis (from McCree, 1972a). The quantum response overestimates the photosynthetic value of photons between 400 and about 550 nm, but underestimates the photosynthetic value of photons below 400 and above 700 nm."

In reality, precise and independent measurements of the photosynthetic activity under different wavelengths by McCree and Inada have demonstrated clearly that green light is nearly as effective as blue light for a considerable number of crop plant species, with only small differences between their respective photosynthetic action spectra. The short explanation for this experimental fact is that higher plants have evolved both biochemical and biophysical solutions (e.g. “antenna” molecules and light-trapping structures) to utilize green light better.

It is important to know that red light (600-700 nm) is almost twice as effective as blue (400-500 nm) light per incident watt, with green (500-600 nm) light in between. This is primarily due to the fact that the number of photons each unit of light energy carries is directly proportional to its wavelength
