Questions about LEDs!

[ILoveGrowing]

I am going to start a second grow in about 2 weeks or so. I have a 2x2 grow tent and I'm looking to get the Lighthouse Hydro BlackStar Flowering LED Grow Light, 135-watt. I don't know much about LEDs. I have a couple questions if anyone can answer them.

-What color on the LED will work for the vegatative stage and which one will work for the flowering stage?

-Is it hard to grow with LEDs?

-What Is the average yield using LEDs?

I'd pass-for that kind of many I would do at least a pair of the Mars 300 style lamps-they will give you a decent small grow-a pair isn't any more expensive.

I am new to LEDs, is there one color that you use to grow through veg and flower?

When I made my Array-I used a set of 3K and a set of 4K arrays. When a plant is in a vegetative-using a light with a blue-er tint has more of the light that the plant can use. When it flowers using a warmer-red shifted light has the type of light the plant can use. If you can get a quality light it's actually like daylight-no blurple.

If you are able to operate a drill and a hacksaw with requiring assistance from the Paramedics, then you could easily create a kick ass cob array for under the budget you have. You could construct something like this- https://https//timbergrowlights.com/100-watt-citizen-clu048-linear-framework/ If you want some advice on what to use, PM me and I'll be happy to talk.

Why do people have a purple color when growing with LEDs?

I believe that it is because plants utilize the most energy from those wavelengths. Some lamps exaggerate that spectra by using led's predominately of those wavelengths.
