5000K strips will produce a bit more blue but more importantly quite a bit more green which has apparently been shown to achieve better canopy penetration than red or blue light and can ‘significantly increase the rate of photosynthesis’. Green light can also help to offset the potential drawbacks of an excess of blue light, apparently ‘green light has been shown to reverse blue light induced plant height reduction and anthocyanin accumulation’. OG already has the answers lol.
