Seems like some people can have nights shorter than 12 hours if you supplement 2 hours of far red and near infrared? Could this shorten the flowering cycle?

Yes. A far-red burst will increase phytochrome red concentration at night. 2 hours faster.

This would enhance flower maturity if done at the beginning of every night as it would spend longer with greater concentrations of flowering hormone

Thanks. Any reference please?
What is the wavelength range to estimulate phytochrome red concentration?

Just reference a previous topic related with light photosystems that also covers this specific doubt and I delete the post and There would be world peace for at least two hours
