I know heavy in the red spectrum will encourage one type of growth and high in the blue will encourage another type of growth but I had never heard they reflect green, as everything i have read is that all light between 385nm and is it 720nm us usable for photosynthesis. and the key is trying to get the right blend.

Oh isn't the red spectrum for fast spindly growth while the blue promotes good root development and budding?

I think overall unless you are running a indoor grow op you are not going to notice a difference or a lack of performance using a daylight bulb.
