Looking good man. Do you notice much a difference from the old lights?

thanks for asking,I have noticed a significant increase in in crystal coat and terp production since adding the red strips. I will be excited to see a side by side comparison of the same strain grown under 325lec, 132 boards, 288 boards. All of which I should have in the next couple months. I also have moved away from store bought bottled nutes and have been going almost completely home made teas, and microbes

Cool. I've been looking at adding supplemental red to my quantum flower tent. Strips may be the way I go.

These are the ones I have.


I run 4 off a single power supply, that’s like another 10-15$.

Nice, yeah. I have been looking at those samsung strips for almost a month now from a different website. And ofc a mean well driver to power them. Have a bunch of aluminum u channel I can use as a sink.

Didn't know how big of a difference they would make, but from what you say they definitely sound worth it.

This is from fgi lighting on Instagram. not conclusive but people are talking and testing and the truth about reds is real.

This is the same as the info in ed rosenthals book from the 90’s.

And i wish these companies would stop “exagerating” by saying 17%. If the strain was 20% its gain was 3.5%. 23.5% total for example.

Still excellent info thanks!

they claim a 17% increase so I assumed it was an increase as shown by their claimed testing results. Yes the info has been out there for years, it’s just now we are seeing relevant studies done with testing results that prove it. And proof is in the pudding my friend.

Very interested in findings.
I'll be ordering my panels today and they have the far red, UV and IR included.
The red does make since to me, why else would HPS work better than MH!
And you will love the taste you'll get from homemade teas!!

I think the uv and ir isn’t where it should be as far as output, and your better sticking to a pacific uv

In my younger years I would have crushed it solo, it so much. I may cut these down in half in the future for solo smokes

If you don't mind sharing some secrets ;) how do you think you achieve such pronounced buds with so long left in flower? Is it the strain? Do you think its environment eg temp humidity vpd? or more what you feed and your lighting? Or just everything running dialed in nicely? Do you run co2?
Nice job man I'm jealous
