Green light doesn't stimulate photosynthesis.

False. Your graph is for algae, not higher plants.

Dear God, there's a kid on THC Farmer who watched a youtube video... he has concluded you fucked up! and gave us the wrong Sun, Please replace the Sun Immediately, this kid says a Green One is better for Plant Life. (just playing....lol

Green Light (500-600 nanometer light) has a definite role in Plant life, stress response, leaf growth, penetrates deeper into the canopy, etc.

The entire spectrum is needed/used by Plants/Humans.

I would not opt for full green light, as Plants use/need the full spectrum, and some of the light is factually more efficient/useful.

You do You, Post your results.

I honestly have no idea if it would work maybe veg however it would be a make do scenario and would take them longer

It wouldn’t work out well in flower as you need reds ect

Honestly you be better with a cheep hps & even better just bitting the bullet & buying a led

People used green to check on plants in flowering.but there is a few youtube videos and adding green will make a difference but not much.now doing a whole plant only green will probably work.but if you pick another color you will get lot more buds

Kind of funny to watch people in bewilderment, trying to rediscover PAR, ePar, McCree's curve. 5 minutes of research and 20 minutes of reading would end all that bewilderment.

Just sit back and watch all the wasting of time and resources to try and figure out what's already known. These are your peers folks.

It seems like you didn't evaluate your source of information before repeating it. People that don't know do a lot of dumb things. For example trying to grow cannabis with an algae light spectrum. Be careful who you copy, and who you parrot.

No i watched a guy grow lettuce with it and in 30 letuces there was different growths.

Can you exppain what part of my answer was incorrect?
Maybe you should read the whole reply before you start insulting people.or maybe you never understood what i said maybe thats the atupid people part you meant.
I can make it more understandable for you.green color will grow plants/ will keep them alive but its not a growlamp as in for lowest watts best growth.

But the green spectrum added to a lamp will make the plant grow more than a plant that didnt use extra wattage with green color.

Allsoo the first part what i said they used them in flower during the dark period.because they made soo little stress to the plant that it didnt hurt flowering as in didnt make them reveg

Let's make it as simple as possible. This, is the spectrum higher plants need for optimal health.


Anyone "inspecting" their plants with any kind of light during their dark period.... is doing something wrong.

If you want to grow algae or low quality, go right ahead genius. At this point nobody cares to read what you write.

Whether its inspecting plants in the dark, or adding green light that is in the photoinhibition zone (useless, low level light) it's just dumb. Adding low level light below saturarion point is a waste of electricity and an activity leading to zero result. If you can't understand photoperiodism and why darkness is equally weighted in importance to the plant, you arent going to shatter the worlds understanding by your experiments in a grow box. You aren't going to be the next McCree, or Emerson of plant biology, nor the next Einstein.

Maybe he wants to weave a handbag and needs that green light stimulation to grow those stems longer because the plant thinks its below a canopy and needs to stretch for the good light spectrum its not getting. It's a solid plan to grow stems.
