Plant Light Uptake and Greenhouse UV/IR Filters

Hey Guys,

I wanted to design a greenhouse facility for cannabis and I was wondering if you all knew whether or not Cannabis uptakes UV or IR light. I read in a few places that the plant can produce more THC to help protect it from UV light but this was backed up by no proof.

I am also looking to source UV and IR filters for the greenhouse panels so that the radiation heat transfer becomes minimal and is only from cannabis useable light.

Thanks for the help.

I use UV in the last few weeks on my winter grows to ripen the trics further ...
and works so well that I don't need use the rest of the year due to the health effects on me and my crew and the ample red light up here

its a long held belief that plants produce the thc oils etc to protect themselves from the effects of excess UV at height and latitude

good luck
