Trying to understand what PARs to hit with what spectrum of blue vs purple light....
So in general I understand this to be true about PAR and Zoas:
Zoas requiring Higher light = PAR 150-180
Medium = around 100
Low = around 50-80
QUESTION though:
....these PAR readings are taken with what nanometer of blue light peaking? (For those who have control what nanometer of blue to peak)
420-purple?
450-blue?
480-bright blue?
500-cyan?
Example:
maybe I can push 150 PAR but the light peak is a hard purple intensity 420nm. But at the same time my 480nm bright blue is at 75 PAR.
Would you consider that "high PAR lighting" having two PARS for two colors of blue/purple?
.
