First attempt at a 24-hour "Martian Method"

So your spectrum needed to be 1.1 or less, and since you were running RedInc only, you may have been close, because RedInc is fast, and faster means a relatively lower time factor. Remember that Sal said (paraphrasing) "RedInc light is fast, but still not as fast as SID". Which means RedInc light has a factor something larger than 1, but not that much larger. Since you had success with it when you needed light with a factor of 1.1 or less, that seems reasonable that it worked out for you. But since your plants didn't like it indefinitely, the real factor for RedInc is probably larger than 1.1. More data, Dog! Awesome!

Yes red inc.s did act differently when we used all 200w of them. no doubt
We will not do that again...LOL

If you wanted to simply match outdoors, you'd just have to add Far Red (only!) at the same rate as it occurs outdoors (and I have no idea what rate that is). Make sense?

Thanks for you time...
