I’m going to lay out some assumptions to spark a conversation. The assumptions might be misplaced in which case I’d love to have them cleared up.
Most of the high end grow lights sold to light our refugiums were designed to bloom marijuana plants.
Those in horticulture who use grow lights to promote vegetative growth use lights in the daylight to bluer spectrum.
Why do we use red grow lights for the vegetative growth of our macro algae? The Triton method recommends a blend of blue and daylight t5. Why are fuges so commonly lit by bloom spectrum lights?
I’m trying to design my next refugium so I’d love some clarity here.
