I have struggled a bit with understanding lighting. I found this clip recently that I thought was excellent from the University of Utah.

Explains PAR, PPFD, Daily Light Integral DLI. Also how to measure the efficiency of a light. Goes through Light spectrum, red far red, UV etc.

Bugbee's videos are awesome. Here's another good one from him

And I just linked this to another thread, but I'm just going to drop it here too. Bugbee's research is just a small part of the studies reviewed here, but it's a good overview of the current research.

His experiments are formed from goals related to growing hemp for industrial purposes, which are *not* for premium smokable flower production. It's the realm where super sub-par, leafy and fluffy flowers are normal.

I think they are quite interested in CBD production, but please do share if you know of more relevant research. Besides, this doesn't look that bad to me

Douglas.Curtis., I would be interested in what you think be says that can't be applied to high thc cannabis.

I learned a lot about lighting in general and got some information that I can directly apply to my growing.

Thanks for the other video Horselover Fat. I have been meaning to come back and comment on them both. Will do that another day when I have more time.
