how does a plant know that it is dark?

I see what your saying.....plants know it is time to flower when you reduce the light it receives during the day like in nature........longer dark period.....dark period meaning no photosynthesis.......the plant does not only do this because of a blue spectrum it does this because of all the color it can use is not present so it knows it's dark......blue is not the only color spectrum usable by a plant as you should know and not the only color that makes a plant photosynthesize......if any of the light is actually usable during the dark period your plant wont flower and no longer considered a dark period anymore....having said that.......using the blacklight for the dark period is a waste of energy........

Well glucose is sugar.. right??? So sprinkle some sugar on the plant and turn on the black light. Once you you have the plant sugared and the black light on... she will realize she has a shitload of THC, something sweet, and a black light. She then NEEDS a cool poster and some Pink Floyd ASAP!!!! Sounds like fun!!!

I agree this post is fucking epic.

Okay i stil lcant beleive you think plants only use the red spectrum to tell time do you have any advanced knowledge of spectrum's? Okay well we all know that plants dont use the green spectrum that is why that REFLECT green. Now the red spectrum and the Blue spectrum are both used by the plant but the red spectrum does not carry nearly as much energy . Thats why when a bulb has only red spectrum light reactions are supressed. So you have a bulb that does red and blue Because all the energy is being carried with the blue spectrum. Now there is 2 photosystems working at 2 diff wavelengths. Now just like we need to sleep at night... a Plant needs time to use the energy it collected during the day and bleed it out through growth. So when your adding your blacklight in at night (because its a black light its filtered for only uv spectrum to get through) your doing nothing but hindering the night cycle of your plant.

Dude, you're right. Screw the haters. You know what you should do? Go get an assload of the biggest, bluest lights you can find, and blast those bitches during the dark period. I'm talking several thousand watts. Yeah, that'd be nice, but even a few hundred watts would probably do. That'll show all these close minded people for good...

Seriously, kick a couple of 600 watt metal halides (you can add blue lenses even!) in there in the dark period, and YOU'LL SHOW 'EM ALL with your giant green monsters with all that extra growth! Think about it, everyone, EVERYONE! on this site will be soooooo jealous of you.

You'll be a hero and poon will fall from the sky. People will probably give you free weed when they meet you, just out of respect. You might even be able to get away with wearing a silk shirt!

For real though, get some blue cfl's in there, swell those girls and rub it in all their faces! Show the mother fuckers what's up!

I can't wait.

Wow!!! Read all the OP threads n all the posts, and wow!!! The ignorance of the people of this beloved planet still befuttles me. Just cant believe that no progress has been made.

Lol. Almost feel like a movie critic. This show had me frustrated, mad as well as confused.
