730nm is kinda a closed case in my grow room right now.
Just things I noticed..could easily have noticed wrong. But FWIW....and most know or have heard it before.
Without far red in spectrum plants won't flower or ripen properly. Way extended flowering
Works either way. End of cycle flash and small amount (not enough to cause stretch) work equally as well at getting timely flowering. That info is gleaned from my far red experiments, my use of r/b led spectrums minus far red, others cmh grows, and others warm white grows.
Used in excess major stretching, of course. No magic huge buds from giving ample far red that is possibly readily absorbed in later flowering.
Excess blue can counteract the far red and prolong flowering sending new growth out in later flowering stages.
Buds have grown to be relatively the same size and yield regardless of far red levels. It only seems to affect and promote normal flowering.
So, for me, the far red solution is a little/none during lights on and a flash at the end.
I personally haven't noticed extra nodes, extra growth, etc. Just sleepy time.
And last but important I think. Just because you have a white heavy spectrum doesn't necessarily mean you have enough far red to get the shortest flowering time possible. When I did my tests with a 3500k and 5000k mix I still knocked a extra week off with the trigger.
And one other thing..lol.
My Pfr levels must have been all over the place with my different far red levels. All grows yielded relatively the same.
