What light spectrum should I use?

[420x024]

Hi so I'm growing some star dog clones and they're in 10 gal or 7 gal pots. I transplanted them last week from a 1gal and they were pre flowering. It is now a week later now they are put into flower, and I watered with a tea and induced flowering with insect grass and foliar the same as the feed(boogie brew).

So it's on 12/12 now under a kind xl1000 watt led in a 5x5 area and under a trellis.
It was under 100 percent blue white, and 45 percent blue.
A friend came over and promptly told me that my spectrum should be containing blue (35%) and white (60-75%) and keep red high (80-85%) for making flowers and entering the stage of flowering. So ive adjusted it to 35 blue 100 red and 75 white, but my buddy never explained really why his spectrum he showed me specifically is beneficial for early flowering or entering the flower stage.
I do know what blue light does to your plant, and red and white as well.

So my question is now that it's flowering
Why did my friend tell me to adjust it to that, also is there a better color ratio than what I was told? Basically asking and bare with me, what do i set the red (0-100% intensity) the blue (0-100%)and what should i put the white onto (0-100%).

Bare with me im a newbie this is my very first time around so I'm in need to reach out to fellows.
What do you guys think and heres progess of the 10 week old girls into it's first week (day 3) of flower.

Ok thanks guys I hope I do well! Btw for temps it's 80-90F and 30-50%humidity.

Can't comment on your spectrum, as I'm not a lighting expert but I can tell you that your temps are just a little high. Try and get them down if you can.
Good luck with your grow and hope that you get your question answered

without answering ? sorry but i would put them all on full power but that's just me. regards

I'm glad someone else feels the same way. It appears that there is getting to be a bit of a cult of spectrum, leaving people feeling that somehow they need to hit a magic Kelvin number or their damaging their grow (e.g. feeling like there's a significant difference between 2700 K and 3500 K bulbs). Yes, different wavelengths affect plant growth differently, but the most important thing (and I have had people passionately argue that this is wrong) is getting enough light--lots of light--to the plant. I say turn 'em all on!

Yes a friend of mine often asks me questions where there really is not a definitive answer and i say to him as he is finding out himself everybody is their own chef some do and some don't. I had an old electronics teacher when asked a practical ? he would say suck it and see (eh). Friend again was giving as a gift from an ex gardener, variable led panels with 3 settings on them,lucky him asked what to set at, whack em on full i say. Leds have pros and cons if i had the room and space i would go back to MH and HPS lamps had best results for me. regards

Dear friend,

This section will help you in the process of evaluating which
spectrums will be best suited for each stage of plant growth.

Note : All spectrums mentioned will be in an A/B/C channel
configuration. So a 20/80/80 would be 20% Red (Channel A),
80% Blue (Channel B), and 80% White (Channel C).

s
1. Seedlings-Due to the tender nature of seedlings, you will want to tune
your light down quite a bit for this stage of life. Once a seed has broken
the surface, we recommend a break-in period of about a week where the
light will be in the range of 15/30/30. Once the seedling has been above
ground for about a week, the first set of true leaves should be present. At
this point the intensity of the spectrum can be marginally increased. We
suggest a 30/60/60 at this point. Once your plant has two or more true
sets of leaves, you can set your light to the vegetative spectrum below.
种子阶段：15/30/30
2, Clones-Clones are a little bit harder than fresh seedlings, but still need
to be given gentle light as they are completely root-less when first cut, and
need to conserve energy and moisture to transition into a rooting stage.
We have had great success with rooting clones at 25/45/45.

3 ,Vegetative-In this stage, the deeper red spectrums are utilized less by
the plant than when it is in flower and uses high levels of blue light that are
essential for creating lush, thick plants that have tight intermodal spacing
and very little stretching. This is the same spectrum that will be used for
plants that you don't want to flower, such as leafy greens, basil, and
mircogreens. For this stage, we recommend using a 30/60/60, 45/80/80,
or 60/100/100 depending on the type of plant and its light use
requirements.

4. Flowering-At this stage, the plant has a lot of work to do and is
performing many complex biological processes in producing flowers
and/or fruits. Because of this, the plant now requires large amounts of light
in all categories. For high use plants, we like to run full power with a
100/100/100. For lower light use plants, dialing back all spectrums equally
can achieve the proper amount of light while maintaining proper spectrum.

5. Late Flower-In this stage most rapid development has stopped and the
plant is gearing up for the stage in which the large flowers and fruits will
mature or ripen. During this stage, the blues can be dialed back to a

100/70/100 in order to mimic those late days of summer and conserve a
little extra power in the process.
