you can use as emerson’s effect, turn on 10 minutes before the ligths turn on, and 10 min after your ligths turn off, it will help plants enter in ‘‘sleep’’ mode and wake up faster too, as helps in metabolism

Ill try it out. I have them on for 15 minutes when they go to sleep right now. I am also seeing to use during flower as long as your regular lights are on. Makes sense because these are not Far red but deep red, they come in at 650-665NM.

Deep red and IR work differently. The IR bars are what you want to put the plants to sleep at night. Started using iR bars about a month back, and the results in flower are impressive. 8 minutes after lights out. Looks like it will cut a solid week off flower time.

Yes, I am leaving the deep red on now while my other lighting is on. BUT, I bought this Red Light Therapy Lamp for my sore back and it comes in at 660nm & 850nm! I will be using that for 15 minutes (on the girls not me lol) after they go to bed. Its just not too large of an area to cover with this light but who knows! Here’s the link which shows not available, but I’m sure there are other choices. IR light

Guess it can’t really hurt anything to to try it. I’d personally hang it high for most coverage, not intensity… Wait and See what happens… Or, Blast one plant up close and compare…

Yes exactly, Mine are fairly high and my buds are tight. I’m paranoid to sacrafice a plant with one low light lol

Yea it works no doubt. So 30 minutes after lights out and 30 before lights on. Working for me! GrowFigs on Instagram: "Banana Purple Punch by Fastbuds #fastbuds"
Hey, I’ve been using far reds for a few years now, I can only use them for 1 week at a time or they stretch me out of space. I use for 15 min at lights out at week 2 of veg. This gets my girls up and out of the pot Then again after 4 weeks in flower, after the stretch is over. Again for only 15 min at lights out. I have 3 far red pucks from Rapid led and 2 glowR40’s from Spiderfarmer
I recently invested in 2 Blue 450nm Tarantula Booster bars from Grandmaster led. I ran them all through flower with my 2-FC4000=EVO’s. I also bought a Green 520nm light bar and 2- Black lights that run at 350 nm…why you ask? Good question, They were inexpensive ( other than the blues) I had some extra cash …and I’m a light junky…no idea how I’ll use them but its all just play. The Green is said to enhance the other spectrum’s and it penetrates deep into the leaves.
I always wanted a black light and for $20 I got 2 foot long bars
