Far-red: The Forgotten Photons - With Dr. Bruce Bugbee

Post by GMO »

In this video, Dr. Bruce Bugbee reviews recent research on the powerful effect of far-red photons on plant growth and development. The summary includes the evidence for the direct value of far-red photons in photosynthesis as well as their value in promoting leaf expansion rate in lettuce. The evidence indicates that we need to redefine photosynthetic photons to include wavelengths beyond 700 nm. The availability of efficient far-red emitting LEDs means that there are immediate commercial applications of this research for indoor agriculture.

That's interesting stuff mate I've noticed a lot of lights bringing in infrared and far red. I've been wondering about adding smaller lights to my set up with only those spectrums but everything I've seen so far is DIY. The wiring is beyond me.
