I read a lot of different opinions about lights, so I am totally confused right now.
So I would grow them in cellar and I would use only one LED for all phases.
200watt - 5000K - 18000 lumen (ip66)
300watt - 6500k - 30000 lumen (ip65)
These would be great for my wallet, thats why.
People writes on forum that these are too much Kelvins so it kills my plant but other websites writes that:
5K – 7K Kelvin: Strong Blue Light. Promotes bushy growth. Ideal for rapid growth phase of plants. This greatly enhances all-around plant growth when used with super high output, (such as high pressure sodium or 3K warm metal halide lamps).
4.2K – 4200 Kelvin: Cool White Flourescents. Can be used as supplemental blue lighting when used with a 3K source.
4K -4000 Kelvin: Neutral Metal Halide. Best single source for plant growth, producing shorter, bushier growth than 3700 Kelvin and color rendition. Used in general plant lighting.
3.7K – 3700 Kelvin: Softer Metal Halide(coated). This coated lamp is used in general plant lighting and for more rapid growth than 4000 Kelvin produces.
3K – 3200 Kelvin: Warm Metal Halide. Highest photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) value of all HID lighting for all phases of plant growth. PAR watts account for the nutritional value of light and are a direct measure of the light energy available for photosythesis.
2.7K – 2700 Kelvin: High Pressure Sodium Lamps. Redder color mix, used for propagation, blooming, supplemental greenhouse lighting.
Please someone brighten me up, Im excited to start gardening but I would not until Im not sure what led I need.
Sorry for grammatical fails, and thanks for help guys.
