How Cannabis Plants are Shaped by Light Information

The biochemistry of photoperception

Plant interactions with their light environment are complex and have evolved over hundreds of millions of years. Our time together is shorter than that, so I hope you will forgive me if I simplify a bit.


The starting point to understand plant responses, is to think like a plant. Plants have two essential prerogatives. To photosynthesize and to reproduce.

Photosynthesis is the conversion of light energy into chemical energy, which fuels all plant development.

Reproduction is a motivation that most of us can relate to.

The incredible variability we see in the plant kingdom are the result of evolution in service to these two basic requirements.

Hi there, Firstly, they need a lot of intensity, because it takes a lot of energy to grow, and you want to grow them quickly. They also are more interested in some wavelengths of light than others (which ones change during the life cycle). You can provide pure white light to do this, but that means a lot of what you are shining on them (and paying for in electricity costs) isn't being used, so for efficiency, you want to use lights that only provide the color of light the plants will make the best use of.

With enough lightbulbs, you could grow a plant, but it would work out more expensive and would take longer, than if you use specialist equipment. Thank you.

I hope my suggestion helped you.
