I have read recently that it is possible to give a flowering plant blue light only (led) during the flower (darkness period) and this blue light will not interrupt the flowering cycle (infomation from softsecrets mag .. Ed Rosenthal
i also read that it is also possible to put some india strains into flower, with less than 12 hours of darkness, i myself have induced flower with only a 10 hour dark period, i have now read that with the aid of far red spectrum light during the regular sodium period, this extra red light, can pull the critical darkness requirement down to only 8 hours
putting these 2 concepts together, it could be possible to have plants both in flower and in veg in the same space ??
as the plants in veg could be given (blue directional led) after 8 hurs to keep them in a veg state, the plants in flower could be given far red to force them to flower with only 8 hours of darkness and the blue leds keeping the veg plants in veg after 8hurs of metal halide would not disrupt the flower peroid of the flowering plants
any thoughts ?
