@Growmau5 Hi dude, when you did the video about building different configs I must of watched that video ten times before I finally made a decision on what to build.
So I went and bought everything I need to build a sixteen light array, so im super excited to finish it.
On The Dude Grows Show you mentioned about every color in the light spectrum is absorbed and used by plants at varying levels, this made me realise how important a full spectrum really is.
Especially when they directly influence terpenes, the smell and the taste but how they also determine the kind of high we get and the different benefits they bring, physically and mentally.
So for example this is not accurate just an example:
Blue absorption 70%
Red absorption 88%
Orange absorption 10%
Violet absorption 6%
Cyan absorption 32%
Yellow absorption 37%
Green absorption 12%
IR absorption 6% Final size of plants and maturation age ?
UVB absorption 3% What could be related to THCA, CBD ect final strength ?
Time to start thinking about my next upgrade with the IR and UVB but I wonder what else in the light spectrum we are missing to make the full potential of our beloved plants
Maybe there is some other benefits outside in nature and beyond, even planetary influences we could use in a man made contraption to fully realise a plant's full potential and give us even deeper control and understanding of plant biology.
