Sal the reading is great.. I've read it at least 10 times..It caused me to change my mind about 660nm...I can tell you my uncle and I would have never figured out that timing arrangement...LOL.... But like I said, Since I now know more of the timing aspect of things. I do have a few questions. Although one of them I think you just answered for me in the previous post.... "Far Red duration of one timer goes ON at or just BEFORE the (Red) PAD timers go OFF".... So no (SID) gaps in between the two spectrums...Sweet I was going to ask this question.. All of my questions will be based on a 3x3 area since this is what my uncle uses, just so everyone knows.

1. Can the PAD far red be black light or dose it have to be 730nm LED? And how much PAD far red wattage is good for a 3x3 area? 1 60 watt black light or more?

Also can I ask questions about the Blue (on time) spectrums and the red (on time) spectrums?


My uncle has a few of those half hour interval timers on hand, The ones that have the half hour pins that are not removable. My uncle used them for a hydro drip system, half hour on half hour off kind of setup. I think the manual talks about using these kind of timers for the (PAD) Red and Far Red synchronization... On the hydro store front. I have seen these type of timers there... C.A.P. ART-DNe Adjustable Recycle Timer... but at $80 a piece at a minimum for one and we need two. I think I'll Waite for a TP timer. In the mean time we will be playing around with the cheep ol half hour pin type timers for sure.:thumbsup:

I'm just testing it to see for myself what it can do. This time I'm going with one Heavy Duty Rating: 5
