Plant Lighting Science 2022 And Beyond! (Garden Talk #58)

In this episode of Garden Talk, I interview Dan from the Green Sunshine Company. He gets deep into plant lighting science in this one. He talks about photoreceptors, DLI, PAR, ePar, BPAR, UV, IR, and so much more. What plants do you like to grow? Tomatoes, lettuce, house plants, fruit trees, citrus trees, let us know in the comments section below. If you enjoyed this video please click that thumbs up button :)
