Lighting CXB3590 - Spectrum supplementation

[flamingo666]

Hi guys,

I'd like to add supplementation lights to my Cree 3500K 80CRI setup, to mimic the specturm of the sun as close as possible.
After lots of research regarding the plant metabolism vs light spectrum, I think there's a lot o misconception in the industry, which doesn't make it easy to figure it out... I'm trying to create a lamp that fill the peaks of the "needed"curve spectrum using all the current plant metabolism knowglede which for me is: PAR curve + McCree curve(photosyntesis A+B) + Chlorophyl syntesis + Carotenoid curve + Phycoerithrin curve + Phycocyanin curve AND makes use of the quantum field.

Before going into details, I'd just like to ask you, what are your ideas/DIYs to supplement the 3590. Have you done anything that's really worth it?
Right now I'm just using the Agromax T5HO uv, which does spectacular job iin terms of sweating and frostiness at flower.

Thanks!

I've been staring at this for while now!

I'll tag in someone who may know these things @MesaBoogie and hopefully he can solve this puzzle!!


Hope Mesa can help more!

Adding 660/730nm with shift the spectrum to more red and green for an increase in R9. It will cause the emerson effect sub 800ppfd and increase your cri.

Running the UV covers your 350-400nm range already and if you run the 730nm 5 minutes before and after lights out it can increase yield/decrease flowering time.

Get the right color spectrum with your LED grow light. Plants will not grow without it, no matter how much you spend for the light or high high the watts.

I've found a light manufacturer in AU that covers all of this but you pay more comparatively with efficiency around 2.4umols. https://growlightsaustralia.com/

RapidLED has supplemental pucks for all these spectra for $40 each. I'm considering side and intra canopy lighting as well.

I just regurgitate info, I'm not smart enough to come up with it on my own. But I do know enough to direct you to good information. Check out the MIGROW chan on youtube. You can learn everything you need to know there. It covers everything from spectrum to par maps of most popular lights. From it I compiled a list of lights covering ppfd and $/watt. you can check it out here:
