Has anybody seen good results from trying this?
Like same strain from clone, so you can get a good comparison

Supposedly speeds up flower

I found a 730 nm light on Amazon for cheap, might give it a shot

If you grow with a decent LED guys i would say it should or would have the full Sun spectrum of visable colours and not so visable from UV to infared in them. That said i use hps lol. :)

Lol, ya I use hps also but was thinking of adding these to my led side. I could be mistaken but the ish 120 boards I bought don't look to have and diodes of that spectrum

Odds are, like always with our hobby, doesn't make much of a difference I'll prbly end up doing a side by side comparison eventually and see if it actually speeds up flower or not

The ish 120 boards dont have far red, they have 90 x 3000k leds and 30 x 6500k leds which make them more versatile and better for veg. The r strips have got both deep red and far red for the emerson effect. I run ish 150 boards with 150 x 3000k leds and an r strip in the middle with 108 x 3500k leds, 4 x deep red and 2 x far red leds. You probably want at least one r strip per m2. I use seperate 4000k boards for veg. I've also done autoglueberry og with and without the r strip with the same nutes and system and feed schedule, i did get better faster growth with the r strip but then i did have more leds in total in the space, i also found that harvest came a bit earlier by a week and a half or so, but that was for 3 out of 4 plants so might if just been a pheno thing.

Thanks for the info man! some real time experience, hell ya

Ya I was stoked about the ish120's for veg but I'm considering adding a couple 2700k strips to help boost flower a bit. They're only about 20$ a piece on ebay, lm301b chips too

Good lights are not a guarantee of a good grow, of a large grow. They merely ensure that your plants have every chance to do well.
I'm just copying what the major led companies are using I'll admit I don't know near as much as you guys prbly

Fully agree with what you're saying though K
