NOTE: FAR RED LIGHT IS OUTSIDE OF PAR RANGE.

 

Builds Foliage: FAR RED light can accelerate flowering in short day type plants. Enhances plant growth and biomass. It promotes shade avoidance response that makes for larger leaves and longer stems. Assist in getting to a faster harvest. Promotes Flowering and Fruiting: Red light (600-700 nm) stimulates the production of phytochromes, which trigger flowering and fruit development. It’s critical for plants transitioning from vegetative to reproductive stages.

 

Enhances Fruit Size and Quality: Red light encourages larger, more robust fruits by supporting carbohydrate accumulation and improving nutrient allocation to reproductive tissues.

Accelerates Maturation: Exposure to red light speeds
up the ripening process, helping plants complete their
growth cycle more efficiently, which is ideal for
finishing stages.

Boosts Photosynthesis Efficiency: Red light is highly absorbed by chlorophyll, maximizing energy production for fruit development and seed formation.
Improves Yield: By focusing energy on reproductive growth, red-dominant light increases the quantity and weight of harvestable fruits or flowers.

Encourages Pigment Development: Red light enhances the production of anthocyanins and other pigments, improving the color and marketability of fruits and flowers.
