Looking for opinions on adding only red led lights

BostonSports816 · Oct 2, 2024

So wondering about adding a red/blue grow light in the tent with my ViparSpectra p2000 full spectrum led for my autos. Will this enhance flower production and thus yield? Do I also need it on a timer for lights out? What's everyone's thoughts? I attached a photo of the light in question.

I would use them as side lights when the plants stop stretching and the buds start to grow, gives them a boot when the plants need them, I would turn them on for a good 12 hours a day( 4 weeks)
With the main led on 20/4
This would give the plant extra light in the canopy(3 corners vertical) which will increase the crop size without using too much electric( good balance)

Wouldn't that reverse them back to veg?

Thinking back, I think this was a reply to growing auto's(main light on 20 hours, off 4 hours) , giving them extra light at the right time will increase the crop size(more bud sites)
