Spider farmer FR-30 Far Red aux lights - how long?

[TomH]

I bought a pair of the Spider Farmer FR-30 (30watts for a pair) far red lights.
I added them to my current environment, attached to the same timer as the prime lights, per the spider Farmer light cycle recommendations.

Is that correct? 12 hours of Far Red (concurrent with the prime lights which are warm white with a few random reds and blues).

I don’t want to wreck my plants, the lights aren’t huge (two strips about 24 inches long).

How have others implemented Far Red light?

You can run them a few different ways

You can run then concurrently for added spectrum range/umols, / "Emerson affect" or you can use them a hour before and or lights on and off.

Use them as a "signaling" device.

That’s the piece of doggone information that no other source mentions, they say one or the other. I started thinking, or overthinking what the heck I’m doing.

That now makes more sense!

Thank you!
