Yes 100% this bro. And when you add it up its actually surprising how impactful it can be.Here is a good read, about green light.
Green light drives leaf photosynthesis more efficiently than red light in strong white light: revisiting the enigmatic question of why leaves are green - PubMed
The literature and our present examinations indicate that the intra-leaf light absorption profile is in most cases steeper than the photosynthetic capacity profile. In strong white light, therefore, the quantum yield of photosynthesis would be lower in the upper chloroplasts, located near the...pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
" Because green light can penetrate further into the leaf than red or blue light, in strong white light, any additional green light absorbed by the lower chloroplasts would increase leaf photosynthesis to a greater extent than would additional red or blue light."
Absolutely but the blurples well some still give off decent amounts when compared to full spectrum. Of course less than HPS as you say.yeah, not following you on this one. I come from HPS, compare that to LED, night and day in regards to IR.
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.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?
Yeah, thats what I do.So there really can't be a determination given since so many variables can affect the other? How would we be able to establish a baseline that can be roughly followed? I get that ideal conditions is what we're all after but to be able to precisely dial in each and every factor is difficult for most without building an environment from ground up that would support that kind of control.
Learn to read the plants and adjust… lifelong venture. Then go from say HID to LED and do it all over again lol.So there really can't be a determination given since so many variables can affect the other?

This is my biggest opportunity to learn.Learn to read the plants and adjust
If they can answer by that picture id question their certainty.This is my biggest opportunity to learn.

What is that? I'll bet I get 4 different answers from 4 different top growers.
According to google that is P deficiency. So you look at your leaves, look at others on the web, try to match them up, but they all look similar.If they can answer by that picture id question their certainty.
Could be many reasons but the only way to narrow it down is to have a good history of the grow and all the conditions and practices over it
Yes, but at the same time I can point you to a study that shows green in flower will lower THC. So, hmpfffff.So, going by what the abstract says, a light with a more balanced green spectrum, meaning more of it rather than increasing red or blue would be more beneficial to the photosynthetic process? Are there any papers on what that baseline is? Would like to know for future LED light purchases. Did a quick google search but didn't find anything really relevant to this subject so I'm asking y'all!
Its more than a P deficiency but yeah it shows signs of P.According to google that is P deficiency. So you look at your leaves, look at others on the web, try to match them up, but they all look similar.
Then how do you know that the pics you were looking at on google were properly diagnosed?
When you look at books like Cervantes or Clark, the diagnosis pages are all cartoon looking pics. Its a lot to grasp, especially for new growers.
Yeah im a big believer that the most beneficial spectral ratio changes as the stages change… not that the plants want or need it but rather that the results we want can be manipulatedYes, but at the same time I can point you to a study that shows green in flower will lower THC. So, hmpfffff.
It's the american way!Its more than a P deficiency but yeah it shows signs of P.
But that doesn’t and cannot come close to answering why and waaay to many ppl think lack of….
When infact 95%+ of nutrient issues are not a simple add more of that nutrient

Growers just can't catch a break.....Yes, but at the same time I can point you to a study that shows green in flower will lower THC. So, hmpfffff.
I'm excited. I'd love to see the solution you map out!Absolutely.
If there was one thing I could do for this hobby, it would be to put diagnosis to bed with some sort of... something. Something that analyzes the water in the new growth area of the plant, the source, PH, plug in your environment and growth stage, does a comparison of what the plant has in it vs. what is available to it, and make some decisions.
I'll have to start tinkering.
It’s on. Just got off the phone with aqua and he told me what I needed to get started.I'm excited. I'd love to see the solution you map out!
