So.
We all know the girls like more red light during flower. (Ok, some girls).
I can't afford fancy lights, so whatever did I do?
I remove a couple pieces of my mylar and replace them with red blankets.
Here's my thinking.
I can't change the spectrum of my lights.
But the red absorbs the other colors and only reflects the red... so I can change the spectrum of the reflected light.
I used a cheap color analyzer app to " measure" the difference, and it indeed showed a change in readings.
None of this is really scientific...but my last grow I saw a definite raise in yield over the previous grow in the same room.
Maybe I became a better grower, maybe it was the red...
Thoughts?
