Changing plants color affects light absorbtion?
I have a theory. It is totally untested, just an idea to throw out here. Since a plant's green color is the result of it reflecting back the wavelengths of light that it does not use, could changing the plants color cause it to absorb more (or less) light? For example, satties are lighter and greener than indies, and indies need less light to grow than those greedy sativas. Remember how when you were young, you used to put food coloring into the water and watch it travel up the stem and into the flowers of queen annes lace? What if you fed a cannabis plant with dark blue water, and the color of the plant became dark blue or almost black? It would be darker because it is actually absorbing that extra light. The question is, if the plant is actually USING that extra light? Would that go towards developing cannabis that grows better under lower light conditions, such as those in an inside garden? Food for thought.
Peace,
