Budseye, I'm out of town right now and on a tiny computer that's a bit of a pain in the ass to use. I thought I linked the papers in this thread, one of my previous posts. Will relink if not. I was quite surprised when I read them.
Yes, I did, post #13.
your statment is actually untrue and that paper has no scientific merit at all. it is not a scientific paper. it doesnt even detail any kind of experiement.
green light does not make plants photosynthesise more thats not true. in green lights plants can only use photorespiration which is simlar to photosynthesis but instead of using carbondioxide they respire with oxygen. and instead of being benificial there are tests which show it aids other plant functions but is actual more of a survival tactic rather than a means of producing sugars.
physics does no lie seamaiden plants green things can not efficiantly absorb green light. and after checking some of the manufactorers sites for grow lux etc, they also say the same thing. this is a quote from sylvania small but makes my point
''The substance that
performs photosynthesis is
called chlorophyll. Studies have
shown that chlorophyll absorbs
blue (short wavelength) and red
(long wavelength) light for
photosynthesis, as shown in
Figure 4 (above). However,
chlorophyll doesn’t absorb
green (medium wavelength)
light. It reflects the green light,
which is why chlorophyll –
and therefore most leaves –
look green.''
