Lighting questions

So I’ve been looking into kits and led panels, been trying to find the QB 648 used on the hlg 650r but it doesn’t seem like they are for sale anywhere that I could find yet… lots of qb 288’s though. Is there really a that big of a difference between the 2? Looks like the qb648 is much better in the red spectrum which means it should be better for flower right?

Red is good but I think there is a break-even point. Past that, the excess red is wasted. Better to have green or white over excess red.

When a leaf is above another leaf in nature, the sunlight thru the green leaf make a red.

This triggers the smaller plant to grow taller than the one covering it. Red promotes rapid growth.

Orchids are awesome!!

I have this obsession with trees. It is calming to me. I can’t explain it. I just like being around trees. Is that weird??
