660nm deep red and Autoflowering plants?

[Weed Pharma]

As I dive deeper into the many LED changes over the past 2 years (WOW)- I'm finding the use of 660nm deep red to assist in flowering or initiating flowering being added to CoB like units.

My question for those LED savy growers is:

Are Autoflowers influenced in anyway by the addition of 4(?) x 660nm deep red chips found on: CHILLED LOGIC 100W PUCK V2 ?

Man that's a good question. The chilled cobs I use have those deep red diodes and I also started growing autos.

Yeah I wanna know for sure too. Im under the impression that they’re just marketing them as a big deal but no real difference compared to the same light without them. They’re only 2 leds per fixture

Didn't notice you said you have v2 pucks. I got the original pucks less than a year ago. Kinda feels like a rip off lol but that's technology I guess. Outdated every few months

Yeah, I just bought a cob light and was looking at other technologies, as well.
Just trying to determine if it’s a gimmick as there is plenty of red in most fixtures.

It’s a fact that white cobs outperform blue and red Leds so I think you did the right thing

9fingerleafs, I will cull the "burple" out of my tents. I'm looking at adding a dimmable option for a single chip.

Man I just saw this week the reviews of the new gavitas LED 600 true watts. It’s freaking crazy how powerful it is. Meant to flower a 5x5 per fixture. It’s 1400 bucsk dough
