Please find attached a color spectrum of the lights i currently have. As you can see by the graphic, i can tweak each channel to my likings, resulting in a different spectrum, a different output in Lumen and a different wattage.
I also have the possibility to show Clorophyl A, Clorophyl B and Violaxanthin as overlays. However, i do not know what they mean or if they are for instance only applicable to sea water (which i assume Violaxanthin is, due to the fact that it is in the blue area). I did not activate the human sensitivity overlay; which is basically a curve between 485 and 660. Can someone please shed some light (hehe) for me on this graph? Where should my peaks be when i am aiming for maximum growth in Freshwater plants? Should i max out all channels and go for the most "lm" or should i focus on the wavelengths?
I might be overthinking it but i would really like to learn some theory in this area.
