thank you for sharing that. i'm going to run 5000k only up until the end of the second week of flower. then switch them out. i'm hoping to minimize the extension stretch and still get more mass from the flowers.I did the incandescent/LED mix, and it returned some stretch. Essentially the leads become more prominent. Less of the screen of green look. I didn't see any other gain from them. I increased lighting load about 10% with them. It didn't physically feel like I had added a heat source.
Using HID in a mix, I have the same ppfd but 20% more out of band heat. Now that does feel like I added heat. Leads came up that reminded me hps wasn't just about driver hum. I can't say anything about the result, as it was one of them 'flower the mums in the corner' affairs. While I devised a proper grow for next time.
Actually... It is next time, but I'm still chewing my pen. Yet another drip, or get the F&D going. Only.. the F&D means a baby F&D for cuts and veg stages. Where I don't want tables. Just pots. Anyway..
You will see morphology differences at the very least.
maybe we don't need as much infrared if the ambient is kept in the 84-86f range.
