I'm wondering.... when you look at all recommended LED coverage, you always see more space covered by a light during vegetation.
If I was growing with 400w with 60% of that light being in the 660-630nm range, could I veg with a light that had 80% 440nm-470nm...maybe 10% 630nm and 10% IR/Cool White at only 200w while keeping the light closer to the plants than with full cycle lights?
I've read in a few places that plants require less intense light and more light absorption from the 420-480nm range.

1 (7 Blue/1 Red/1 White or Supplemental) for an optimal LED Veg light. Still believe less wattage/intensity is needed for veg. Comments?
