Supplement blue light to open up stomata !

[Zoneshityee]

Hi all,
Does anyone have experience supplementing light wavelengths at different parts of life cycle for different reason?? Blue should.open stomata thus increase nutrient uptake supposedly... testing it out

Awesome, appreciate it, so it looks like I'm on track here, going to order some new goodies I have in mind(if its built already, going to check now) and am going to run some tests

Just an update guys, I have tried two diff additive lights, holy crap the redblue first and then the blue under canopy 1 plant diff light each day. The blue one freakin rocked, plant shot up crazy and foliage looks way better! Could be also the VPD is dialed the hell in or the nutrients on point ?

2 days had that big of an impact?

Dude I just spent an hour like peeling the new growth off all the main stems, yea it was like immediate! (Ok maybe 4 hr or so)I swapped from thenredblue to blue, and then water and came back to check later, and was like holy crap

 

[Zoneshityee]

My humidity was getting high and the water in her bucket was super low she really chugged that shit haha

 

[Zoneshityee]

Insane.. its growing like that venus fly trap on little shop of horrors lol

 

[Zoneshityee]

I will share the trick, a little sea kelp, vitamin b, some protein and aminos, a small boost of amoniacal nitrogen and humic, the vpd dialed in with that blue light under = holy shit

 

[gorillaglueaaron]

Noticeable growth in 4 hours? No way. I'll believe that when I see it.

Also, that shouldn't be happening. Blue light gets used less than red light by the plant. The benefit of blue is shorter stems. Not only does the plant use the red light more, but the blue light isn't directed at leaf growth as much either which seems to be what you're talking about.

@gorillaglueaaron ok so dont do it I will continue with mynfindings and share them

 

[Zoneshityee]

And there is pics ....

 

[gorillaglueaaron]

It's not a clear before and after. Ok, I'll take your word for it.

 

[Zoneshityee]

Also, it doubled nutrient uptake..

 

[Zoneshityee]

And here is today .. I need to buy more and place them evenly under canopy lol...

 

[gorillaglueaaron]

Again, it's hard to see any difference. Not saying there isn't one.

 

[Zoneshityee]

Still think I am wrong?

 

[Zoneshityee]

About 2 inches taller than the rest of the canopy when itnwas to be all even..

 

[gorillaglueaaron]

I can't compare the pictures accurately. It has nothing to do with thinking you're wrong, I just can't see the difference from pictures.
