A bit late, but after revising my previous view, the higher the temperature of the light, the more you plants will "reach" towards the surface and the less they will grow outward (less leaft). If the plant "sees" enough red light, it will feel comfy, and will begin produce more leaves, but the blue light says that it is in the shade, and it needs to go higher. Even though chlorophyll absorbs a lot in the blue and red ranges, it gives a different reaction.
If you light has a peak in the green range, this light is almost useless to plants, so you are likely to get more algae. Similarly, if there is a nutrient shortage, the excesses of the other nutrients will cause an algal bloom because algae utilize single nutrients to reproduce.
