I have left mine on for 16 hours.Hey so I accidently left my infrared lights on for a total of two hours. A hour and a half of which being after the main lights are turned off. It slipped my mind as I was guna give them five more mins then I randomly remembered. Just glad I didn’t leave them on all night. I cannot find anything at all online in regards to issues with having to much infrared or to long. They are definitely visibly stressed by this and I need to know whether or not this was something serious they won’t be able to recover from or if they will be fine from now on.
Guessing there just the supplemental UV/IR bars, I have them as well but haven’t used them all grow, may turn them on the last 2 weeks to see if it makes any differenceWhy are you using infrared lighting? Curious that’s all.
goldHere we go. I’m not trolling.
IR is not red light. Plants have no use for IR in photoperiodism, phytochromes or photosynthesis. The article talks red light. Red light is hugely important but nothing longer than 700nm. No effect.
didn’t say it was, it was you who said ir light is useless to photo plants..Yup just did. IR is not red light.
Adhering to the McCree curve has led many to ignore indirect benefits of certain wavelengths of light, such as those longer than 700 nm. In 1957, Robert Emerson discovered that when plants were simultaneously exposed to both deep red (660nm) and far red (730nm) wavelengths, the rate of photosynthesis was far higher than the sum of the deep red and far red light separately. When used in synergy with deep red, far red light reduces the dissipation of absorbed light as heat, increasing photosynthesis rates.@Zill The Emerson Effect : Emerson effect is by using an infrared wavelength of above 700nm in order to accelerate the interaction of molecular energy.
