Growing with Black Lights?
firewall wont let me look at the page.. so i'm gonna banter more about it til i get home lol
Phytochemicals are present in plants as they play a role in growth and survival of the plant. For example, beta-carotene is present in chloroplasts in green leaves, protecting the plant from the harmful effects of UV sunlight, and other carotenes are involved in light harvesting for photosynthesis.
We have shown that UV-B and UV-A/blue light stimulate CHS expression in Aradidopsis through separate photoreception systems (Fuglevand et al., Plant Cell 8, 2347-2357, 1996 Abstract). UV-A/blue light is detected principally by the cry1 photoreceptor whereas the UV-B detection system has not been identified.
The black light is already a fluro, and emitting this, as well as releasing blue and violet light of the spectrum, how is it that the black light can't be effective in the plant's growth process?Any posts made by me are purely fictional in nature and by no means is anything I say to be taken seriously. I do not grow or condone the growing of anything not legal. Any and all pictures I post are pictures widley available on the internet and any discussions I am involved in are purely hypothetical or are commentary in nature and should not constitute advice or be considered advice to assist in activities that are deemed illegal.
