@GetUrbanLeafАй бұрын
Plants do need a period of darkness every day, so we usually recommend the lights be on during the day. However if you're in an area that has no natural light then there's no reason you couldn't 'switch' that.

@MilliePat4 ай бұрын
@@GetUrbanLeaf I want to spend $20 to $35 on LEDs that are easy to hang under wire shelves. I've purchased the so-called Grow Lights in different styles, which stopped working after 12 months. I've also purchased a $120 light with the long bulbs, which was very difficult to hang and adjust. I can replace the bulbs, but I can not replace an LED strip. There are at least 50 videos on seedling lights, and only 1 or 2 provide easy-to-understand info on lights, timing, and distance. The ease of adjustment depends on the type of light and the manufacturers.

You are 100% correct the white lights perform the same result as grow lights however grow lights can work at a much lower watt and current as it only emits light that’s usable by the plant. If your attempting to keep costs low then this could be an option
@GetUrbanLeaf4 ай бұрын
agree. And these cost savings are significant if you're growing at scale (i.e. in a vertical farm). But for hobby gardeners at home the energy difference is almost irrelevant and we think the other factors outweight

I totallyyyyyyyyy disagree with saying purple lights are ugly 🤨 As someone with sensitive eyes, white lights severelyyyyyyyyyy hurt, and I cannot handle them being near me, let alone being comfortable with their light. And then I can only have them for so long, which sucks because I wannnnt to look at my plants. Switched to purple and now I’m muchhhhhh more comfortable, doesn’t hurt to look at them or my plants, it’s a very verryyyyy nice vibe at night time when u dim them down, they don’t randomly blind ur screens and such, or make u feel like ur living outside in the sun.

@OOTurok7 ай бұрын
The single main point, you completely ignored, as to why traditional grow lights are purple... has to do with the fact that all photosynthesis takes place in the Blue & Red spectrums. Chloroplasts do not undergo photosynthesis at all in Green Light. Frequencies in the Green spectrum do catylize certain enzymes that effect plant growth & development, but Green Light contributes nothing to photosynthesis itself. So the 1 & ONLY reason traditional grow lights were purple... is because the focus was put on the spectrums that are responsible for photosynthesis. Furthermore, the fact that Green Light penetrates deeper into plant tissues, does not equate to plants utilizing that light. Green Light is only absorb by the Carotenoid pigments in plant cells, & these pigments are abysmally inefficient at absorbing that Green light. Depending on species, only 2% - 20% of Green light is actually absorbed & provides excitation energy for various physiological functions in plants. The primary function of Green Light in plants effects Cell Turgor, aids in the Osmosis of nutrients into cells, Catylizing certain growth hormones, Stem Elongation, & triggers the Stomata to open or close, in plants growing in forest understories. Green Light contributes nothing to the photosynthetic production of food.

we covered this at the beginning of the video, and you’re right - this is traditional wisdom. I think you might be surprised by what some of the more recent science says about the impact of green on plant health, however. check out Prof Bruce Bugbee and his work
@OOTurok7 ай бұрын
@@GetUrbanLeaf The so-called recent science on the effects of Green light on plants, is actually not recent. We've know since the early 50s, that Green light was "essential" for other physiological functions in plants. It is just that the grow light industry simply ignored the necessity of Green light, because it is not used for photosynthesis, & the focus was placed solely on the production of plant sugars. This has lead to particularly annoying garden myths about how plants interact with different frequencies of light, such as... Green light is not essential or important, & the science had just simply been misrepresented for decades. If you read plant physiology books from the 60s & 70s... they all discuss the roles Green Light plays in plant development. For so long, growers have only focused on photosynthesis, which is absurd, because photosynthesis is only 1 "essential" physiological process in plants. Photosynthesis may be the dominant process, but it would cease to function without all the other physiological functions that support it.

I think most people have their personal favorite color combination. I use blue/white leds in my grow tent for short dense foliage. Red tends to create tall spindly plants. My greenhouse uses white led (5K) shop lights. They supplement the weak sunlight that penetrates the triple glazing on the green house. The combination of natural light along with white leds seems to improve growth on my vegetable plants.
