Red spectrum provides Pr and infra red the Pfr. together the two regulate the phytochrome A and B component that the plants need to properly produce fruit or to enter fully in to a flowering cycle. All red and a half hour(minimum) of infra red before cycling off your blue (night cycle) will help achieve a flowering stage. This has been my experience. With out infra red (sunset) the plant can enter into an anaemic like state, where by they will try to flower but will take too long
@darcyklyne Thank you for sharing your experience. What Infra Red wavelength did you use? 740 nm? We definitely will give it a try and see what happens. There are so many parameters we can tune. Complex but fun.
@KessilTube I was unable to find 720-740nm in a high enough power rating that was reasonably priced or in stock any where. I was hoping to build a CREE LED infra-red lamp. What i ended up doing was pulsing 640nm high flux @ 292hz to generate a infra red spectrum while utilizing noiger frequency to induce a growth response in the plant. At this freq the red high flux look like a heat lamp and is cheap and efficient. Not officially infra red but one solution you could try.
We have 640 and 660 nm in our red. 660 nm is only far red, not really at Infra-red. We are currently evaluating if IR would have any further advantage.
how -the-fuck are tomatos just growing in the base of all the plants lmmfao this is a scam or some phsyco shyt ho the hell would tomatos just grow at the base and there all ripe and ready to go!!!!
what type and output lights do you have hanging??

Good work fred! Are you giving a infra-red spectrum to induce flowering? Or did the light do this on its own?

@KessilTube oh ya. I also recommend people do a search for "Martian night LED grow". Some really interesting information.

Tomatoes grow in clusters...were are the others even blossoms aren't there.

We did harvet a few before we took the video. :)

Impressive if you are looking at growth rate but not that many fruit. I only counted 4!
