My drivers I bought are going to power 8 2ft bridgelux but the Calculations say it could power 14
Question is can I throw a few strips of these ir and a few of uva?
Or should I simply get a new driver and run them seperate

if they run same voltage and current as your other strips it should not be a problem...
I probably would run on a different driver though.. so I could dim them separately. and if you want to add more red/blue in the future they could go on same driver as uva/ir..

There are lots of good benefits to uv and ir when it comes to bud ripening and terpine production

Not really sure what uv ir lights would be strong enough to hit the buds. A lot of these leds looks weak in the description

ACtually i did not find any research paper or review stating that ir is needed or hs that huge benefit.
Different story for UV light, but they do not state if the increse in "ripeness" is due to UV-A or UV-B not the quantity needed

Also could just get these holders I think..
And just use them to power the leds from growlights canada

I appreciate but I am afraid this states nothing, it tells us there are "right frequencies" but it doesnt state which these are and how much is needed.
