When we add the clear halogen inc to the standard 12/12 flowering room our flowers don't get bigger/more weight they just get more potent.....


All I can say is cycling 660nm and 730nm every half hour for 18 hours with no blue light present is not stimulating the Emerson effect. For one it contributes to the plants Day time and Night time hours.. So 18 hours of the above PAD cycle is equal to aprox 12 hours of darkness and 6 hours of day light (to the plant).. How is that stimulating the Emersion effect? Also when you add 6 hours of blue light into the 24hr mix you now have a well balanced 24hr flowering schedule with an average time factor of aprox 1.5 to 2.0.. Outdoors has an average time factor of 1.7.. HID has a time factor of 3.6.

THC is best produced in the time factor range of 1.4 to 2.0... Yes this has been tested...

I don't want to explain time factors.. I didn't figure them out.. So if you want to know about time factors there is some resources here on this site to get a handle on it.. If not contact Sal at Temporal Photonics..
