WhaaaaViper,
Plants reflect all infrared radiation. The only benefit you might be able to rightfully claim is that your bulbs emitting infrared will help maintain temperature in a tent.

@rangabud Like @Zill said if the light bulbs emitting infrared(Our led light which is no IR, but light bulbs emitting infrared), do you still concerns with it?Yet to find out as my new light doesn't have any IR, was a little concern for me but the light has good reviews so I'm trying it. Se7000
730nm is far red. You are flat wrong.Infar red is not part of the photosynthetic action spectrum. It does nothing but get reflected.
Hey Max,Will this cause more stretch moe through lights on..the reason I ask is that I ran far red pucks x2. 6watt ea after lights out for 15 mins or so .trying to speed up bud onset..it did speed them up 4 day-5days quicker but I was getting 2’ stretch from 1’ without..I had to stop using them as I was losing canopy to light room..
Necessary? Apparently not, because successful crops happen without them.Hello THC growers, ViparSpectra would like to take a quick easy survey with you, which will take only 30 seconds.
Q: Based on your experience, do you think infrared diodes, usually 730nm are necessary to include on LED grow light?
What's your answer? And why? Thank you.
regardless of what was said above, 730nm is Far Red and does have impact on the plants. You can get additional photosynthesis via the Emerson effect. You can change plant morphology as far red signals to the plant it is in shade. You can potentially have a higher DLI in flower using Far Red to put the plants to sleep faster.
When people hear iR they think light outside the par spectrum which is just heat. But 730nm is in the par range, just not the classic 400-700.
If I had far red built in to my primary light I would want separate control over that channel both intensity and on off time and be at least 60W in a 4x4 space or I would just use external lights anyhow. So make it useable or don’t add it. If it comes on with the main light and no other control is provided I see this as a big negative and would prevent me from buying the light.
Man you sure put your foot in your mouth a. lotViper,

@ViparSpectra to the point here ... Yes, it's my opinion that 660/730 is good but should be able to be controlled/timed separately. If your company were to add this feature to the lights, your lights will sell. Everyone offers lights with these color temps. Only a handful of companies are offering lights where the grower has total control of when these reds are on.Man you sure put your foot in your mouth a. lot

Like these ;My thoughts exactly.
Or an option to bolt on a bar or 2 with its own driver.
Yes it is important. I believe in Bruce bigbee work about itHello THC growers, ViparSpectra would like to take a quick easy survey with you, which will take only 30 seconds.
