What happened to embedded videos? Did I miss a change?
I lost a ton too.What happened to embedded videos? Did I miss a change?
Hey, did you do this? and what did you see? Is there any change that's noticeable using red...giving them dawn and twilight with red only? I've these 4ft red led lights I'd like to use...I used them in my veg room and it elongated my plants making me run out of space too quickly. I used them during flower but I didn't notice any change....mind you that was on a failed grow anyways and it was hard to tell whether there was any benefit or not..Some have been successful at speeding up flower time by giving 15 minutes of red flash only at the end of the light periods each night. I have about 20watts of 730nm on a seperate channel and look forward to trying it out but I think I am going to only run it during the last few weeks of flower instead of the whole cycle and see if anything positive comes from it.

I've a bunch of timers, I pick them up at my favorite thrift store $2.99. I asked because I have overlapping timers and I had some lights come on 1- - 15 minutes before the big bright 1000w hps so they got mock dawn and The buds seem to be bigger through that grow than from other grows with the same strains with out mock dawn......I never did it successfully and if I still had a puck and wanted to try I would only do it for the two weeks that I flip to flower and see if it makes a difference. I didn't have a quality secondary timer but that would have helped. Growmaus had one he sold through cutter. He also experimented a lot with it. Not sure if he is on YouTube. I tried at the end of flower but I kept forgetting to plug it in for half those days probably.
