I'm doing a green light experiment. Just green. No blue, red or far red messages for the plants. Just a colour that others like myself have used many times for night illumination.
I once had a green led on an negative ion generator 24/7, that had a bud beside it develop extraordinarily well. Then put 100 leds in to try again, and it did nothing.
The PAR charts we see show green works at perhaps 30% the efficiency of red or blue. I'm not sure if these charts are the nasa research that just used monochrome light. Or full spectrum with bands of interest increased. Plus the charts are not our plants anyway. I want to start again myself, with the right plant. Just green light this time.
So, I have a cutting taken a week into flower. Rooted and vegged a little while. Still at 3 blades like early veg. It should express flowers quickly, if it chose to. Or carry on it's veg cycle. Or keel over. All within the next week.
The hardware involved is a 20w green led, on a cpu cooler, in an aptly named 'bud box'

The plant
The group shot

Place your bets now! Will the 20w work like a 7w as the charts suggest, or will something canna specific come to light
