What is the Best PAR Intensity For Plants (Collaboration with Shane Torpey from MIGRO)

What Color is Best for Plant Growth (Collaboration with Shane Torpey from MIGRO)
Professor DeBacco
The optimal PAR (Photosynthetically Active Radiation) intensity for plants can vary depending on the specific plant species and its growth stage.
Photosynthetically Active Radiation PAR
PAR is the range of light wavelengths (usually measured in the 400 to 700 nanometer range) that plants use for photosynthesis.
PAR intensity vs growth rate
Medicinal herbs can utilise high PAR intensity and growth rate increases at a high rate up until about 800 µmols/m²/second, after which the rate of growth reduces and the system is less efficient. This is why most grow light manufacturers design grow lights to deliver an average PAR of about this level.

​@@DeBaccoUniversityno problem man...your a great reference and a great knowledge and we thank you for your hard work and dedication..really...it means a lot ..your the man!

[@Spiderdan-59]

Couldn't get a better collaboration in our hobby 🌿🔥💨

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

Happy to be a part of it.

[@yamagrow420]

Thank you Professor DeBacco 👊

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

You are welcome!

[@insanitystrains967]

Thank you for all the video's.

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

Thanks for the comments.

[@graemedevine9651]

Shane's the man that knows lights, he's done a lot of great videos on his Migro channel.

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

Another nice channel to check out.

[@growland5162]

They need 800/900 umol/m2/sec at max. But could you tell us more about optimal values over the grow cycle : early, veg, flip, pre flower, flower, ripen ? thanks a lot

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

With CO2 supplementation the plants are more efficient and can use more light. Check out other videos on the channel.

[@reneebaranoski9576]

Shane's contribution to the lighting space is second to none. Thx brother

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

Glad to have him as part of the channel!

[@RamblinJer]

Excellent collaboration!

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

Glad you liked it!

[@skankhunt420]

Bugbee, Shane, DeBacco and all those others leaning on science, not sharing bullshit: Thank y'all!!

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

Great to know this makes the top three... even if it is bronze, there is room to grow;-)

[@johnb-lz9mg]

You guys are a great help and loaded with valuable info. Thanks I appreciate all you do.

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

Thanks for sharing and happy to provide quality content for you and others!

[@Soundsaboutright42]

So glad you did a collab with him!

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

Happy to be able to provide this to you!

800-900 par seems wayyyyyy too much right? Does anyone really run at 800 par? My leaves all burn up if i go that high.

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

It can be even greater, especially if you are running elevated levels of CO2.

[@moongloomable]

When I started growing the co2 was 350 in atmosphere. We won't even need to supplement co2 in another 50 years.

[@TheOO23]

living close to the plants produce good amount of co2

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

We need to grow more plants to capture more carbon...
