Indoor Blue and red LEDs

[Jcw1980]

I have some week old seedlings that are in grow box and I have been using 4 6500k CFL's I got some blue and red LED light strips I want to add those to my CFL's is it okay to do that are blue and red just for flowering please help thank u

Blue and red aren't just for flowering, specifically on photoperiod plants you use 'blue' spectrum for veg and 'red' for flowering. With autos I believe it's fine to have both at any given time as the plant has no requirement to respond to a different lighting setup. At least that's usually how it is, I've read some people saying that they changed the photoperiod but not the spectrums.

Yes they are autos on a 18/6 Schedule in Bubbleponics system
Thank u for the info

No harm in adding them both at this point. The blue will help veg growth, the red flowering. When vertical growth stops on your plants, usually around week 5-6 you'll want to switch those CFLs over to 2700K ones for flowering.

Feel free to add them, even 15w led spotlights give autos that extra yummy focused spectrum and lumens they go nuts over.
