If you want fuller spectrum then you'll want all the colors on. If the plants haven't been under frow lights before, then start off on only a few hours and build up to 12-14hrs a day if they are high light plants

### Bignige commented on 2025-01-28

I just don't like the way the color looks in my house. I know it's stupid and superficial but it's what it is.
