This is not to mention visual acuity green light provides by complementing red and blue to create a full and broad- spectrum, perceived as white light by the human eye. This enables growers to clearly observe their plants, which is sometimes overlooked as another key contributing factor to the success of plant growth and development. The best way we have found to put this myth to rest would be to perform side- by-side trials of plants grown under narrow-band red and blue lights at high PPFD compared with plants grown under a comparable PPFD of broad- spectrum light. The resulting plants and yields will most definitely speak for themselves, as it has for the many commercial growers that have employed lighting solutions with a broad-spectrum for their growing applications.
