Incandescents staging a comeback

[irydyum]

Now, despite a common misconception, incandescents have a great spectrum for plant growing, it is just that too much energy is wasted as heat and the life expectancy of a bulb is quite short. I currently use a low wattage incandescent in flowering as the light is rich in deep red, far red and infrared -areas most other grow lights are lacking in. (I recommend about 10% total wattage in incandescent - try it!)

First off what exactly can you prove that incandescents do for you in flowering? I understand that you "recommend" 10% of the wattage be incandescent, but WHY is the important detail that you left out.

Unless you don't know and you just think it helps you so you want to tell others to do it to, in which case I'll just ignore this thread, apologize for stopping in, and be on my way.

Please provide justification in the future for your suggestions. Nothing worse than another post telling growers to do something unconventional with no evidence of why to do it. Maybe I'm the only one that feels this way, but I'll do jumping jacks and feed my plants PEZ if someone can prove to me that it is beneficial.
