Light Impact on the Leaf Coloration

Indoor 1989.5 dmg Daletas ’17

Attention to detail is important and you have to look carefully in the image. Notice the green coloration difference in the area where the grow light is hitting compared to where it is not. It is subtle, but the upper horizontal portion of the leaf is darker green and the area that is flapped down is a fainter shade of green. This provides a visual indication of where the chlorophyll may be more concentrated allowing for greater sugar production. The shading directly correlates with the area that is receiving direct light exposure from the grow light, which further demonstrates the impact this light is having on the plant.

Having this level of attention to detail is important with many aspects of growing, this is just one example.
