Thanks to Eraserhead for posting this link in another thread
Old School LEDers tend to be green skeptics. Why? I have no idea. It's amazing how difficult it is to reeducate someone once they have drank the Kool-Aid Politics and religion anyone?
Therefore, plant leaves do absorb green light. In this case, about 70%
The areas of the spectrum that drive photosynthesis are highest in the red end (600 -700 nm), followed by the blue region (400 - 500 nm) and
lastly, the green region (500- 600 nm). These data show that between 50 and 75% of the green light is used in photosynthesis.
Recent studies have determined that green light is more photosynthetically efficient than red or blue in the deeper layers of leaves.
