UV
(ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT)
It's emmited by te sun and covers a range from 100nm to 400nm, which we can't see it in our human's eyes.
There are 3 types of UV light. UVA and UVB are important because they can pass the ozone layer. UVC can't reach Earth's surface.
Pros of UV
- Inducing the production of secondary metabolites. such as flavonoids and anthocyanins, enhanced resistance to pests, stresses, and diseases.
- Produce more THC
IR
(IRINFRARED)
IR wavelength is longer than visible light(400-700m). lt's considered the light wavelength beyond 700 nm.
Deeper penetration, heat radiation and the shade-avoidance response for plants,IR can:
- Increase the photosynthesis rate.
- Promote robust stem growth and proper node spacing.
DEEP RED
(FAR RED)
Deep Red refers to 660nm-680nm, it is the most important spectrum for the flowering period
This range of light, around 660-680 nanometers, is crucial for promoting plant growth during the flowering and fruiting stages.
Pros of Deep Red
- Booster of the flower buds.
- Promote plants to bloom and bear fruits, make flowers and fruits larger and stronger.
- Enhance the brightness of flower colors and fruit.
