Spectrum design and angle of the lenses

I want to order the apollo 4 or 6 (not decided yet)
but I wanted to ask some recommendation for the spectrum, the focus should be on flowering but I want the light to have some blue for vegging too.
What do you recommend?

The company recommended the following set up

4pcs blue ,10pcs red and 1pcs white for each cluster


I will grow in a tent so I guess 60 and 90 angle should be fine, right?

If you can get the 60 and 90 that is. When I was considering them (only just Sunday night!) all they had in stock was 120 deg. The salesperson tried to convince me there was negligible difference between 90 and 120. Perhaps for their lens there is?

For a basic mix, that ratio will work. Their whites don't seem to have good peaks in the red zone so one white is simply to throw in some greens and oranges.

they have 120 degree but I believe they are best for a large area, I will grow in a tent, so I I have guessed that 60 and 90 degrees might work better

I wanted the spectrum to be like that

4 blue 460
6 red 660
4 red 630
1 white 6500k

or

3 blue 460
7 red 660
4 red 630
1 white 6500k

is too basic?

With 3-4 blues you really don't need that 6500k because that is really what it works for: blues with a little bit of everything else thrown in. It really won't do much for your mix, and you will have plenty of blue with the 3-4, particularly the 4 per. Maybe 3 blues and a 2700k-3000k.

3 blue 460
7 red 660
4 red 630
1 white 2700k

yes maybe the 2700k is the best as it is closer to the red spectrum

thank you for spotting that!

I would swap out the 3 blues and get 2 NW's (these will cover the blues and cyans and greens and yellow with tads of orange and red..covers mainly this end of the cooler spectrum <-- ) and one royal blue which is very slim in NW/CW (it has more blue than RB) at the left end of white led spectrum....<-----

The WW will cover the cyan green yellow orange red ..mainly this end of warmer spectrum ..yellow orange and reds -->

But that's just me and what I did.

1 CW
2 NW
2 WW
1 RB
5 DR
4 Red

Or you can swap the DR and RED 4 and 5 instead of 5 and 4.

This way you have both ends of spectrum covered fully (Blues and Reds which are important) ) and also have the middle cover some with tads of green cyan yellow and orange.

Not written in stone but I believe it's good to mimic the sun and cover all the bases but also keep it stronger at both ends of spectrum at the same time.

^^ Only problem is that Cidly's whites aren't too strong in the red region. They look to give you way too much in the green orange region as opposed to having any good peaks in the red.

Yes I forgot this thread was about a cidly panel.

Also true what you say that's why I built my own panel and the fact that cidly led's can't compare to Crees and orsams.

So adjust if still going with Cidly OP
