Has anybody been to the Afghan mountains or the equator to measure actual UV Photons, so that we can get a good idea of the Density of UV Photons that is required for healthy plant growth.
Great talk! Followed your work for some time to understand growth in plants and coral under water. Getting the correct spectrum penatrated into the water for growth and how much. We've also done a lot of work of the benefit of the benefit of uvc for fish, plant, coral health in aquariums. The exposure is a byproduct because the uvc is contained in a chamber, which basically elimates oxidation and adds electrical charge back that oxidation takes away.
It's it true our planets UVC is "life on earth" dangerously high and increasing exponentially as Dane Wiggingtons ex Nasa contractor scientist says on the latest Geoengin eering watch video?
@@SmedleyButler1 As far as I know there's no reason to be concerned, like at all. UV-C is also called vacuum-UV, or VUV in short, for a reason - it's already blocked due to absorption by a rather low amount of many gases, like air for example, and can only go far in a vacuum. So the chances that we'll ever see any substantial UV-C radiation down here without having way more severe problems to be concerned with, like no air to breathe, is pretty low if not absolut zero afaik. Might be a misunderstanding or just total nonsense. Maybe they were talking about higher altitudes or space, quite relevant for NASA stuff after all.
You said a green house will protect you from UV so if I have an inclosed HID system would that render less IR and UV waves that you are finding out that may actually play a crucial role in a plants health.
Adam Dunn Has invited Dr. Bugbee and me to compare and contrast conventional photobiology and Quantum aka Teslan photobiology on his show May 5.. I REALLY hope the Professor accepts. Dr. Bugbee will represent conventional and I will speak for/about Quantum photobiology.
My theory is you want it to be like the mid day sun, so I have mine on for the "middle" 6 hours of the 12h cycle. Its a small reptile light so its not very powerful. Ive seen uv damage plants . if that happens I'll just cut the hours down.
Frustrating preliminary findings. No real useful practical information. I'm buying HLG's Uva led light instead of migro's fluorescent uvb light. Based on this I think that's the best option at this time.
Hopefully its not too late but if you want more uva than uvb solar cures' flower power covers the most of the uva spectrum than any other fixture atm (while still having some uvb)
Dr Bruce, thank you for doing these videos n sharing your knowledge 🙏. Graduate level work sir n I truly appreciate the effort. Information is the most precious commodity n you provide the clearest, most concise analysis of light I have seen. Thnx again.
Dr. Bugsbee, Why can we germinate seeds in the sun in full summer but 2000 micromoles of artificial light will fry a seedling. Why is this? Is it the suns IR? You should figure this out so we can speed up the first 4 weeks of a plants starting life.
Okay so... What would you recommend?... 30 minutes of a 40 watt reptile light (uva/uvb light)? 8 hours of uv light? Can you give me ANYTHING to go by? Bulb size? Hours used? Thanks
As an outdoor grower... This is objectively wrong. Sun grown sells good because it sounds good and hippies love it.. but led grown indoor weed is of a higher quality because it's clean and plants don't see much stress.
Hello i have an important question did not find any good answers maybe you could help me : Is a led photon different from a sun photon ? Is that so, does it impact the plant ?
The only difference is the sun at noon on a sunny day is 2000 micromols and with lighting its not economical to go over 900 without C02 or you will wast money on power.
Thank you! I’ve been waiting for your input on this! Anyway you can analyze popular UV products on the market such as flower power, agromax, LEDs, metal halide, etc.?
Thanks for the video. However, your statement about a possible relationship between increased sunscreen use and vitamin D is simply not evidence based. Can you please provide sources of your information?
Gad...I invested in windows that have a high UV rating. I start my plants under a fluorescent light, then move them to a window that faces south. The plants don't do well in the window, and I didn't understand why. They grew well there before I got the new windows, also, when I transplanted the plants outside, they stopped growing and turned purple. Sunburn I guess....eventually they catch up but, now I know I was filtering UV...thanks.
I have a UV-A Lamp with 395nm wavelenght. It has only about 3 watts power, but when i put this light on the plant, i can see with my own eyes, that the plant adapts its leafs in about 5 to 10 seconds, with additional pigments! Instant sunscreen. The leafs get a litle reddish tint, in this uv light. The whole leaf. But this effect wears off, in darkness, as fast as it came. It is reproducible over and over again. I did not test it with a fresh picked leaf, and dont know, if the reddish tint comes from the leaf itself, or from the roots. Maybe a picked leaf is dead, i dont know.
I’m your garden talk show you said there’s no study that conclusively proves that uv light has any effect on bud production yet I’m this video you contradict that. Can you explain why
When I read more of this topic. I discovered that it make plants more robust, less yield and quality increases. What about fertilizer do we need to change that too to get better efficiency?
You can pulse uv light and still get the same wanted secondary metabolites but without as much stunned growth as if you were to leave it on continuously. This way the uv can apparently penetrate further into the plant without the plant producing as much pigments at the surface which block most of the uv-radiation. Maybe cycle it at 1h on, 2 - 5h off. Don’t know about about fertiliser tho.

does the aerethymal curve change as the plant "creates its own sunscreen" not that i know any of this stuff just thought if its protecting it, the might be able to withstand greater amounts over time and change the amount its able absorb?

Hello! This was a very informative video, and I appreciate the spread of your knowledge. You mentioned that in your laboratory studies at the university, you had exposed the plants to a few seconds of UVC with burn, UVB a 1, 2, and 3 hours and experienced burns. You had also mentioned that finding the correct exposure can prove to be beneficial for the plant, have you attempted exposing the plant to UVC at 1/2 - 1/8 of a second at extended periods of time. Releasing the light photons in small concentrations throughout the day. Allowing the plant to experience UVC benefits without the worry of burn?
@@rickw7903 He actually referred to his university research in the video, being that the video is older i was hoping for an update on his research. Thanks for your intelligent input tho👌
Well he said that's one of the things that he's working on in his laboratory they recently started studying the effects of UV light on plants exposure time using A,B,C Etc
Thank you for all the excellent information. I'm trying to figure out how much 385nm UVA to give my plants right now if anyone has any suggestions. Thank you!
I used to let 5 minutes UVC (water filter uvc bulb) under canopee on to kill spidermites, one day I forget it and came back one our later, plant was looking like she needed watering, in hydro.... She recovered a bit
4:00 🤔 I remember being taught that photon's energy increases linearly with shortening of the wavelength. So for example 280nm would only have 2x the energy of 560 nm etc. But I guess that because of the really shallow penetration of 280nm the difference in released energy / active absorption volume (only the surface layer) is much higher than the difference in actual photon energy.
If light travels in a straight light except in space. Then do far reds bind better to lower nm red photons than it would to green or blue. Im assuming the photons travel with the light (in a straight line ). I could just be stoned and have this all backwards or not at all but it made me think.

So if I just have UVA then I would need to extend the time period the light is on? I think I heardUVB is 10/100 more potent than UVA so if it’s 10 times I could just leave it on for a day then off for a day? But if it’s 100 times I would need to increase the intensity along with the amount of time per light cycle. Note: I have multiple UVA lamps so intensity wouldn’t be an issue.
