Are there any safety issues I should worry about?

Why the sock puppet,thought you weren't afraid to speak your mind and all that shit about truth and no one was your intellectual equal in plant biology and lighting. Now your skulking around spreading lies and half truth's like a petty back stabbing little bitch using sock puppets. Thought you had a back bone but apparently not.

When dealing with electrical, there are always safety issues one should worry about. That is the same for every hobby.

Not sure about the rest of it, sounds like you are unhappy about something. As I said before, just some random person on the internet posting stuff. Constructive collaboration and discussion benefits everyone.

But plants do grow in the dark. Whether there is some sort of light we can give them that provides a tangible benefit is the question.

You're very helpful from what I can see,have fun playing your little games. Sorry but I will not need your assistance.

The main lights are on 16/8, the 730 nm is also on during the entire main lights on schedule and the first 4 hours of dark.
Interesting I have heard of this before with the timing. ?What is "suppose" to be the difference with the theory of the 16/8? Taller plants?

I'm no expert. It could be that this research has been discredited. But on the second page the author shows graphs where the effect of light <730nm is diminished. This is the "reading" i referred to when i questioned whether 730 elicits Emerson effect. If anyone has the inclination and expertise to scan and summarize those findings I'd be most grateful.

Not sure about that, all I can say for sure is the plant was a very short ball of nodes and leaves, had to move a leaf to even see the stem or a branch and the nodes were stacked one on the other. After 3 days of changing to this light set up she is stretching out nicely. This strain has DMT in her parentage and DMT is a short little bush with tightly spaced nodes.

Should be interesting findings for sure then looking forward to it.

Well it is obvious you are no expert.

And you find it difficult admitting when you meet one, so how would you know if you got the answer?

Understanding corollary effects is beyond you, possibly the result of your education system.

But hey, just some random person on the internet posting stuff.

This is a new strain that no one has even finished a run with so I will be taking clones off her. If she's a keeper I will try using extended 730 nm only during lights out next run with one of the clones.

How much 730nm we talking ? Lots of grows have cctv cams with infrared lights for night is that not pretty much the same thing or are you going to hammer them with it ?

For those of you who have to heat at night, consider getting one of those infrared heaters. You might be elegantly surprised.

I like oil filled or eco panels even silicone ones or them tube heaters over them infrared heaters they just seem like a fire risk if your not around to keep an eye out ?

Main lights 240 watts, 730 nm 10 watts.
proportionally more than I ever tried, your getting more stretch with it ? who`d of thought more IR at night would give more stretch I`ve always seen hot days vs cold nights give more stretch

is the structure to the stretch different to what you normally see ?

I think maybe my plants were flowering a bit quicker showing sex a bit faster but did not overly encourage me to bother with it again just made me realize that IR for cctv was no big deal

but hats off if your making it work, I know your pretty good with yields and harvest times from what I`ve seen ya pull in the 12/12 cups
