"Lapideus" C#8

This is not even genetic, one is able to force any plant Into switching the chlorophyll for anthocyanins. Plants have various pigments each better at picking up specific wavelengths. If we oversaturate in blues and UV, as a survival mechanism stressor the plant will switch chlorophyll to anthocyanins. Blues and UV hold much more stored energy than other wavelengths. Because of this high energy, I like to think of blue light as fat because it gets all caught up in the 1st and 2nd layers of the chlorophyll net, meaning it penetrates only 1 layer, 2 at most. The green light is mostly scattered and reflected and can penetrate several layers,4,5,6 The ratio nature likes best for bud development I read was something like 1:2:1 R:B:G. When your grow light is set up from the top. Only the green is penetrating the lower canopy. Supplementing heavy red and blue from the sides gives the green light penetrating from the top the 1:2:1 ratio required for proper bud development.
