I'm sure that lighting dramatically affects the sleep cycle of a plant. I have a pretty big garden, and there are lights all around the perimeter. One day I decided to change the color of the lights. Surprisingly I noticed that changing the color of one flag light had an effect on my plants. Even for the better, because before I had white bulbs, and now I replaced all the bulbs with yellow. It seems to me that these light bulb remind the plants of the color of the sun, and therefore they are better off. Maybe there are experts here who can explain this scientifically? I would be interested to know.I'm wondering whether ambient room lighting (which includes indirect sunlight) factors into a plant's sleep cycle?
EDIT: an aquatic plant.
I'm a big fan of "warm" lighting over the pure white bulbs. I just think it stands to reason that it contains more of the color spectrum. Everything I've read on the subject suggests that plants need some red mixed in with the other hues. So, yeah. What you call "yellow", I'm calling golden which in my paint box is yellow with a touch of red.I'm sure that lighting dramatically affects the sleep cycle of a plant.

I tried to get one a couple of months ago, and I was stunned by the prices. I mean, they are twice as much as I used to get them two years ago. I understand that everything is getting more expensive nowadays, but like that? By the way, guys, what do you think about these strips Best RGB Smart Strip Lights | Smart LED Strip | LED Strip Lights? Would they work for a similar breeder?I think that buying 5 meters of led tape and a 12vdc led power supply for a reasonable price is pretty tough nowadays.
It doesn't look bright enough for plants. You want lots of LEDs close together.I tried to get one a couple of months ago, and I was stunned by the prices.
