Youre absolutely correct.

So i know this isnt the proper place but i wanted to ask yall's opinion specifically. How much do you think infrared plays in growing? It seems like with cold temps, leds just really arent as effective but if you put some infrared in the equation and it heats things up, they seem to do better. Idk.

It depends on your situation. I grow with LED only for 9 months out of the year, but during the other three cold months I add in a 315w CMH lamp for the extra IR to increase the leaf temp, instead of spending more power to raise the air temps. As far as LED based IR, I wouldn't trust it, as IR and UV LEDs tend to burn out a lot sooner than white LEDs do.

I replaced 600w HPS and 144w sunblaster with 1000w of quantum boards without IR
If I didn’t control my exhaust I’d easily hit 35C in my tent
Infared heats a canopy directly but 600-1000watts of led will heat a room just as much as 600-1000w HPS/CMH/MH

Edit as they said^ I like my IR and UV diodes separate from my main fixtures the diodes don’t last as long

Hmmm ok. This is stuff to think about. I dont have that much power in my tent and im not using any LEC or MH/HPS. Im referring to when its colder out as well, like winter and stuff. Right now the temps are in the low to mid 80s which is plenty. In the winter i was in the low 70s.

Don’t get me wrong Marq posts wicked deals and I do own leds with IR built in, but for 209canadian for a 450watt QB with meanwell drivers you can’t say no.
But know,buying fixtures with today’s diode technology the IR and UV will die and you’ll be left with a decent fixture with 6-10 dead diodes.

My tent grow just got flipped to flower so it'll be a while before I may attempt a DIY 2'x4' bar light build. I'll probably just use them for houseplants for now, maybe throw 1 underneath my tent's scrog shelf. But I'm always open to more creative ideas if anybody has any. These should be pretty versatile
