Hey guys
I've got both the uv strip and fr strip from invisible sub
I've been using the fr previously, 15minutes prior to lights out..and 15minutes before (IIRC) lights on? Is this right?
I also have the UV supplemental strip which I've never used before, what's the best time/cycle period to use this please?
Any input on either would be appreciated.
Cheers
Wu

Re: When to use UV LED strip and Far Red strip
I used the far red like you said in past, i cant say i noticed any difference personally speaking so is in my draw now.
The UVA i used like you would UVB for last 2 or 3 weeks for around 6 to 8 hours daily. That said UVA doesn't have oomph like UVB does so i dont think it will damage plants so much if used a little more often (if we can call it damage), so you could prolly use it right through grow when you start seeing flowers for a few daily if ya feel need too that is Cant say i noticed any difference with this UVA either another one in draw.
Give us a shout Wu if you like them and feel like your grow would benefit from a little bit more, you can take both these, it will free me up some draw space too.

Re: When to use UV LED strip and Far Red strip
Thanks bro. I'm not a perpetual grower..Well at least not through winter anymore, and when I'm on hols so I don't mix a lot up and do same strains against different equipment to see how they perform with and without because some pheno types are different even with same strain (it that's the right wording).2-Scoops wrote: ↑Wed Jul 26, 2023 1:01 pmI used the far red like you said in past, i cant say i noticed any difference personally speaking so is in my draw now.

I'll do a bit more digging too but I thought if anyone was the eggspert here I'd ask first.
Thanks bro for the offer will let you know.
Peace
