First attempt at a 24-hour "Martian Method"

Sal I got another question for ya. Have you looked into ceramic infrared heat emitter lamps that are used for reptiles to provide a far red - infrared source during the SID?

The sensitivity of the plants is primarily in the Far Red 700nm to 800nm range, while Infra Red is primarily above the 800nm range. So while there might some benefit to using a Infra Red emitter, the benefits per watt would be less than using a source with more Far Red emmisson.

Infra Red LEDs are much cheaper than Far Red LEDs, but no one uses the Infra Red LEDs for plant growth due to the lack of responce compared to the more costly Far Red LEDs.

Dollar for dollar, regular clear and colorred incandescent lamps are a much better investment than Infra Red Reptile emitters.

I'll get that email out to you soon. I just have a few other things I gotta get done first. Sorry for the delay on that.

Take Care, Sal.
