The red 4 led strings use 82 ohm resistors. Orange 4 led string uses 270 ohm and the 3 led string has a 390 ohm. The blue LEDs use a 220 ohm resistor. Part 2 to come.

5x5 LED grow light, part 1
So this is what I have come up with for a 5x5 (25 LED) grow light. In researching the web and the USPO I have found that most of these lights use the following light wavelengths. 660nm for the red, 612nm for orange and 460 for the blue. Most designs are a mix of 61% red, 32% orange and 7% blue. My design is for 25 LEDs I will be using 16 red, 7 orange and 2 blue. That will give it a mix of 64% red, 28% orange and 8% blue which is pretty close. Also at the time I bought my LEDs I could only find 620nm orange and 465 blue. They are listed as dominant waveforms so hopefully they will work.

The red 4 led strings use 82 ohm resistors. Orange 4 led string uses 270 ohm and the 3 led string has a 390 ohm. The blue LEDs use a 220 ohm resistor. Part 2 to come.
