Red Spectrum to promote resin production.

I use far red Spectrum lights during flowering. My question is the whole plant affected by the lights or just the area where the red Spectrum is concentrated.

True far-red (730nm) wavelengths sit on the absolute edge of human vision; they appear as a very faint, barely visible dull red glow. Those appear be mostly just coloured bulbs...I don't think that counts. I would check the wave length or spectrum these are throwing out before numbers could give you an answer with the info needed...

Tbh I wouldn't buy anymore of those little bulbs an but some light bars from say marz for pretty cheap an use them as under lights. I jus seen a test where they prove under lights by 100gs per plant more. Im not a pro or really smart but, ive used hps as a under canopy light an it helped a lot especially with moisture down by the pots building up.

Depends on what the effect is... if it impacts products of photosynthesis, that is highly mobile and will go where the greatest use is. if it's a reaction on the surface causing something, then it'll probably be local... - The red wavelengths definitely promote longer internodes.. there may be some initial research on other stuff but i'm not aware and i mostly ignore 'initial studies' as most of those fail to hold up to skepticism. The other thing to take note of is scale of effect.. just because something is measurable .beyond normal volatility, doesn't mean it's of a scale anyone should bother with. I like my 'warmer' lights which have more red in them, but i've also been using some "cooler" 3300K lights the last several years and everything seems in scale and of similar outcome. It bugged me at first, but now i don't give a shit, lol... sometimes beliefs get in the way of reality.
