Using veg and flower switches on LED

[GreenGrowth]

Hi all, I'm using an @marshydro epistar 320 growing an @thedutchsedshop amnesia haze, she had 4 weeks of veg from seed germination and 2 weeks of 12/12 with the additional bloom switch turned on.

Do I turn the additional red spectrum off now that she is showing signs of developing flowers, or do I leave it on for the duration of the grow?

Why would you want to turn off the red spectrum in flower?

 

[GreenGrowth]

i guess that is my question old mate, do I need to turn off or do I keep the additional red going i.e. does it make a difference

What light are you using? Typically Rspec is a bloom booster for flower.

Edit: Mars Hydro just re-read

Hi Greengrowth,

Red helps with flower cycle, so that should be switched on. Your plant looks very healthy btw!

I understand *switched on, is that bloom switch for the next 7w or now that she's flowering can I remove the extra Rspec?

Thanks, I'm using a western Australian brand of grow nutes

I’m not too technical on the lights but as I understand it rspec is an enhanced red at 660n and is beneficial for flower cycle. You could drop same question over at the mars hydro for SmokeSara who is the mars rep Mars hydro thread
