Doesn't light in particular spectrums like yellow that can't be used very efficiently by the plant in veg also raise leaf temps? In my reading, it's been claimed that because LED's are able to better pinpoint the light spectrums beneficial to photosynthesis while reducing or even eliminating those that the plant uses very little of, leaf temps are reduced meaning you can run a little hotter in the room supposedly.
My reading has said that green and yellow are very low on the scale of photosynthesis but your articles are saying the opposite. Is there some degree of truth in both and where does that lie?
Because your article is flawed research… even scientific information is subject to change and thats an example of assumption of the scientific community. In what your reading they are assuming that these spectrums have the same efficiency over differing intensities… and thats just not the case and has been clearly shown in other research.
It was also believed that far red, infared and UV also had little to do with photosynthesis and effects on plants… this is also outdated science. Plant efficiency of use and effects of each spectrum infact are affected by the ratio and intensity of other spectrums. The most well known is the emerson effect and we see many companies trying to take advantage of that benefit and exploit it for profit.
The thing is science requires control of variables and we cannot and should not assume they transition linearly… and new science shows exactly that in this specific area. So while the standard of testing was mostly done at around 400ppfd so that studies could be put together to give a reliable comparison results it cannot assumed to be the same once you change a control factor and a whole new standard would then be needed and studies to show the curve at which they happen because we know its not linear.
There are more flows in scientific studies than most imagine and they are still our best source of information but that doesn’t mean they are 100% free of oversights, data interpretation or other flaws.
Simple fact is you dont know what you dont know but every study done is a step to remedy that
