Vertical farms are technology
they should use purple light to save electricity since plants don't absorb green light anyway
>>107546022That's an AIslop pic and they do that with marijuana farms.
>>107545991Indoor farming and aquaculture are indeed technology. Do you have anything pertinent to add to the conversation or are you sliding something?
>>107546022the difference between purple and white light (in terms of efficiency) is not that bigbeing able to see and diagnose problem better with plants under white light is imho more beneficial
>>107546319>imhoand how did you came to that opionion fossilberg?
>>107546335gee do i need to spell it out for you?i grow weed in my closet
>>107546344You forgot to say SWIM or in Minecraft
>>107546319>>107546022>the difference between purple and white light (in terms of efficiency) is not that bigits enormous.you start with a blue led you run through a special coating, which is not 100% efficient, to then end up with a spectrum of which something like 70% power-wise isnt absorbed by the cholorophyllactual growing setups have "purple" lightmajoritarily two wavelengths: 450 nm blue and 650 nm red, with other wavelenghts added depending on the plant, and the needs (like radishes tend to have more bushy growth when you add some green light and some uva iirc. this kind of stuff)white light is also involved, but you dont need to use it all the time, only during inspection
>>107546319>>107546344I'm just saying that because I read about why plants don't absorb green light, if you're making a huge indoors farm it's probably worth it, then install regular white lights for when you come in, but yeah if you're just doing a small plantation it doesn't matter much.
>>107546344>didnt use hps like the patriarchs didi bet your weed tasted like radishdid you look up how to properly cure it at least?
>>107546425>>107546425get with the times grandpaLEDs have better efficiency (PAR) than HPS now
>>107546487its not about efficiencyits about having a spectrum that mimicks best the effects of the light of the sunhps having a fuller spectrum makes the final product have a richer tasteradishes also have a thing like that. green light and uva makes em grow better(im not obsessed about radishes btw, its just that they grow fast, and have little needs so theyre the best candidate for experimental growing setups)
>>107546022look at the sun's spectrum, it peaks in greennot only do plans not absorb green light, they actively reflect it because it's too much
>>107545991woah that's so frutiger aero
>>107546022Plants use the whole spectrum of RGB green is just less efficient for splitting molecules so they reflect it more often to offset heat. Most colored LEDs are just white ones with filters anyway so it's not like you're saving power.
>>107547827White is created through a filter. I doubt anyone puts a second filter to sell colored reds because producing red leds is just a matter of not using a filter in first place. Thats why red leds were the cheapest.
>>107546319Another benefit of green light, which makes white better than purple, is canopy penetration. And cannabis has a thick canopy.For all of you out of the loop and that have not heard of Bruce Bugbee, he has many lectures online for free. Watch them and you will see the light.
>>107548173lucky bastard>gets paid to grow weed as research (probably by taxpayers)
>>107545991the economics of this doesn't make sense except for a few types of greens>>107546022wrong, plants do use green light. They use it all
>>107548220Indeed he is.Why not become a lucky bastard yourself? Start small with the cheapest AC Infinity gear and scale up from there over time. This game rewards patience and intelligence. Don't get greedy. Watch some of Barry Cooper's docuseries.Obviously get yourself familiar with the relevant law in you jurisdiction. This is not legal (nor sound) advice.
>>107548656nta I hate the smell of weed and if I had the ability I'd develop a bioweapon to eradicate it from the face of the earth
>>107548734Maybe you should just try it
>>107548734I agree with >>107548904You should definitely try to create a bioweapon that eradicates weed.
>>107545991Why did you have to post a AI slop picture OP?Actual pictures of vertical farms look far more impressive.
