A little peek at our newest SolStrip, the X3-400-5700/3000R:
Dual-band, dual channel (5700K and 3000K) Samsung 301B LEDs, with
with four Osram 660nm deep red and two 730 far red diodes in the 3000K channel.
I’ve seen the Emerson effect at work in my grow rooms that use the SolStrip deep red/deep blue strips. The addition of the far red in the new X3s will only enhance the effects further - mainly accelerated flowering response, and a quicker, more certain finish, with no noticeable loss of weight, and enhanced flower structure and size, as well as better terpene and cannabinoid production.
From experience and my survey of the research, I’m not convinced that far red “flower initiators” alone do much on their own. But far red with deep red in the regular bloom cycle spectrum mimics the mid-late season solar spectrum. That’s our guiding philosophy at Photon Solutions, recreating the solar spectrum.
