G8 LED

Hey, picked up 2 G8 Led for my 3x3 tent (overkill I know but I’ll position on each side to get a bit more uniform coverage)


its 630-660nm and wondering if anyone had recommendations for what hours and how long to run the lights week by week of flowering?

I’ve read to “wake them up” with the red lights for 10-15 mins in the morning, then use them mostly from week 3 or so (after stretch is done, I’m running mostly indicas or indica heavy hybrids) through until finish. But would I keep them on all 12 hours (assuming there’s no light stress) or should they only be on for say 8 hours (2 hours after main light on and off 2 hours before main light off)?

suggestions?

I should note I also have a rapidLED far red puck that I’ll use for 10-15 mins as main light turns off

You could run the 1 x G8 for 12 hrs on as it's 630 - 660nm and 730? That's what it's designed for.
It's a 3 x 3 tent so 2 x 90w of deep reds might be a tad much in there.
Extra 180 watts
It says one g8 will cover a 3 x 3 area.
What your main light in there?
They're not a good shape, strips would've been better.
Depends on how far they are away from the plants, you could run 2 in opposite corners oŕ tent at 18" away,

The g8s aren’t 730nm, that’s the rapidLED enhancement puck that only runs 10-15ml s after the 12 hour cycle.

So in terms of the g8 lights, I will position them in the corners or sides. Should I gradually increase the number of hours in weeks of flowering or just 12 hours (heat and light stress permitting) from start of flower to harvest?

My main light is a photontek 300sq. Takes up most room of the space but I have a good setup and excellent ventilation so heat isn’t an issue. Truth is the tent is 4x3x6 but I only grow in the 3x3x6 space and leave the 1x3x6 space open and hang my carbon filter/exhaust fan on that side so I can raise my 300sq basically to the top if needed.

I couldn’t find anything that was strip and fit the 3x3 tent. If I could I’d sell these and get the strip

G8 website says The red, hyper-red, and far-red spectra....
Red would be 630, hyper red 660 and far red 730nm. The Emerson effect.

Photontek looks a good light
I'd run them for 12 hrs and watch the plants for any signs of stress

This company does red strips but it's Germany. Are you USA?

Or the Aussie
