Clear Inc's as a far red source....Yes...... I can't afford 730nm LED to try them out. Sorry not much testing on that front.

It's been our experience over here that LED's also increased trich production, But so did going from metro mix (dirt) to a hydro setup. There is alot of ways to increase trich production IMO.

LED,Far Red and Hydro has been some of our most noticeable trich production tools. If your familiar with salmayo's Martian Method... It uses the first two and explodes the trich production. But that's a whole different tread..LOL

Great post Apollonia...:thumbsup:
Dogznova Reviewed by Dogznova on . UVb an experiment Quick background: I have been using UVb supplemental lighting for many years now and have always thought it added to the finished product in a couple of ways. I had never promoted it's use on these boards because I felt it was dangerous and had real potential to harm people. That changed a few months back on the other UVb thread, and I came out of the closet in strong support of it's use. Well some here who's opinion I respect (like Weezard) held the opposite view and those discussions led me Rating: 5
