Hi All!

Its absolutely gorgeous out, the sun is so bright you'll get a tan in no time... Thats what I was thinking after watching some YouTube vids. There seems to be a fair amount of people really ticked off about the real 'power' these LED lights you can buy for mass deneiro. (Why cant you get a sun tan from an LED grow light? and Is this maybe a missing factor ingetting good fruit yields?)

So after watching: this, and especially this for example, I got to thinking, what if there are spectrum these LED lights are just not providing to 'stress' a plant to get into the flowering stage?!

I've asked some friends of mine, that graduated in Bio and happen to remember a little botany, do plants react to certain types of light even the UV and IR spectrum that we cant see but feel? The answer is yes. And we can see some UV, such as the spectrum Black Lights give off.
He also told me plants are just like women in a lot of ways! They get hormonal, funny but true -plants grow because of hormones and they flower because of hormones. The difference is we want our plants, whether they are Bell Peppers or other types of herbs, to go all out hormonal and produce flowers and eventually fruits.

So, I called up some of these LED Grow Light companies and asked, what are the spectrum these LED lights produce? Could not get a good answer. Im looking for something in nanometers, how is blue and red gonna help me? -Maybe hes worried about someone taking his biz...or He Really Just Doesn't Know or Care!

So Im gonna do a little researching, Im gonna find out what blue and red LEDs produce in actual light and the spectrum they do it in!

Stayed tuned, Im gonna help everyone out with their violet and Pepper indoor-farm!
