the arguement if I am allowed.

I am new to the forum, as I am also a newb in growing.. Thus I have far more questions than answers.

I must say I love this forum, was reading threads for 15-16 hours yesterday, - eyes were red (far red?) and head started to ache.

I find a lot of interesting subjects here, -and in particular your use of 730 nm to manipulate the plants clock.

I have a question(s) .....

If I have a setup that is about ready to flower. One m2 aero setup with currently two 120 w triband ledpanels taking care of the vegetative lightning, and a 600 hps that is soon to be fired up. After done some reading, it seems to might be an idea to replace some of the lighting time with far red light.

If I for instance replace one hour of the 12/12 - with 200 w clear halogen? If I do that first week of flowering, - and expand with one more hour next week, - and yet another third week? Keeping the leds and hps on 9 hours a day, - clear halogens for 3 hours a day, and darkness for the rest 12 hours? Does this sound reasonable? Could I also try to cut down on the darkness with 1, 2 and 3 hours at the same time? "Replacing" darkness with some candescent black? (If I can get all this stuff somewhere....). I don't have access to the PAD manual, and I doubt I would understand it all anyway lol, - but maybe I can somehow progress towards something giving me nice outcome anyuway?

Be well
