Forgive me if i didn't read this entire thread... I got to about page 10. I want to ask a question about the Emerson Effect that didn't seem to be discussed in detail except for a mention here and there. From my understanding; What the Emerson effect is this: Using 680nm as a starting point, Emerson found that from here an increase to 730nm resulted in a lower amount of photosynthesis taking place. Emerson also found that dropping down from 680nm to 660nm resulted in a lower amount of photosynthesis taking place. Only when Emerson Combined BOTH the 730 and 660 together did he see an exponential rise in active photosynthesis. This rise in photosynthesis was greater than each spectrum combined when ran without the other, suggesting there was two different photo systems that ran on long and short wavelengths (P1 and P2).
So where am I going with this... With this said, Wouldn't it be beneficial to run both 660 and 730 during the entire lights on period and then JUST the 730 alone for 15 minutes after lights out? This seems like it would give you both the benefit of increased photosynthesis during lights on, and then faster transition to dark period, allowing 13/11 or even 14/10???
Am I correct in thinking this or am I wrong?
