hello everyone,
i´m not a newbie to taking care of plants and enjoying it´s fruits in return. until now it has been exclusively smaller, but successful, balcony and garden grows back then
only three months ago just started my first indoor!
i checked the internet quick haven´t found an answer. i guess the answer to my simple question is yes anyway, but here it comes:
having 2 seperate 1,5m² tents each with a reasonably priced chinese 200w led. a friend from a friendly friend donated his no more used violet led light. quick research showed it´s not one of the trashy crap ones from years ago, it´s just not up to par at efficiency with electricity consumption, so decided i could maybe use it.
question: do plants in full flowering react irritated when adding violet led´s to the already installed white led´s? …guess no problem.
do plants in flower react bad if white led´s got removed and got replaced with violet led´s? …no f*ing clue.
goal would be to reorganize an relocate the plants which are closer to harvest into one double-lighted tent. keep the just started flowering ones inside one one-lighted tent?
thanks

When you say violet leds are you talking the visible colour you see or are you talking about a uv led?

If I understand the question, can you use a older blurple color casting LED with a white casting LED, I do if I need a bit of extra light, from adding a few to many plants in an area.
Sorry if I’m not understanding.

My 1st hrow was with a burple chinese light amd plants never complained about the light itselft just for the lack of light.
I found tentbuddy that is a smarthphone app that uses camera and light sensor to determinate how much light you have.
What I did, because I don’t thrust on the accuracy of it was check how many ppfd on the sun and then check it under my lamps.
Ts1000 gives me 650-700, 150w hps give me 550-600 and tje burple light… 150.
It may be allright to complement another lamp on the grow space but I don’t think the birple lamps worth the power they consume.
But that’s me on my experience.
Good luck pal

Ask for wife or friend pbone that have that hability, mine is different but just like yours, 2 switches and everything.
But in order to the spectrum overcome the good one, it had to be very close to the plants, but won’t harm them.
I was about to use that one for clones but not even for that… It is just too weak what it is good for is to germinate seeds in a container on top of it, one cloth if temperarure too high, like a seedling mat😂
