Default Red Light Spectrum - Beneficial Flowering

OT, for those more saaaavy with light wavelength colors.

On my new LED setup, there is a bloom setting. If I turn off all the lights and only turn on bloom, it seems to be be primarily all red in color.

I have a boatload of annual flowers under these lights - and right now I'm starting to see it's 1st blossom. I still have another month-45 days till these annuals can go out. Anyhow, it would be a interesting test to see how much the red plays in the blooms for the annuals.

For the tomatoes, I probably still want it to focus all it's energy on growth so even leading up to transplant day , I doubt I will have the ~bloom~ lights on them, even though it might help flowering.

Or whaddya say, do a A-B test. For example, leave A alone
Plant some extras and compare ?
