I found a brand of lights that I have been using the past 2 years from amazon. They were unavailable when I needed more so I went to yescom which everybody seems to prefer. But they were also out of white so I bought blue white thinking there wouldn't be that big of a difference. There's a big difference. Should the more blue lights be used for different things? Like is blue better at germination or coloring?

The pictures are of what I usually buy.Image

My 2 different switchable photo spectrum lights refer to Blue white as best used for seedlings. Also I’ll say I accidentally left the Red white on for a few hours and had a few plants under it produce flower stems in late November.

I've always wondered if spectrum affects CP plants growth (not photosynthesis, but the way they grow).
