Lighting Update #2

Following up on our last update on lighting for growing microgreens. We have now updated our test bench to include a solid blue LED source. We are conducting experiments using both the Red/Blue and pure Blue LED arrays.

The red or purple coloration in plants is attributed to anthocyanin pigments which gives them this color. Anthocyanins in addition to visual dramatics, has had promising research studies showing help with vision, anti cancer properties, inflammation, provides anti oxidants, can help with diabetes and obesity along,  cognitive function  and others.
