Best Kelvin for Flowering Phase

From the Kelvin scale, the best Kelvin for the flowering phase is the red light spectrum otherwise known as cool white. This is the further end of the Kelvin scale and its required light for the flowering stage of the plant life cycle.  This type of light is low in energy and will enhance flowering and blooming.

The most common types of grow light used in the flowering phase are LED, high-intensity discharge light bulbs, and T5 light.
