    This is great info Dr Bugbee! I have a hypothesis about green photons. As you've noted, they penetrate deeper into plant tissues. I propose that those photons bounce around hitting various organelles within the cells until their energy state degrades. In other words, they eventually turn red and then get scooped up for photosynthesis, etc.. It's similar to the way blue photons pass through a phosphor coating and turn green.

    YOU SAVED MY ENTIRE CROP OF 8 PLANTS FROM RQS COMPANY. This is my first grow and I knew about the light during budding thing. What I did not put together was that my "Clone Room" (bathroom lol) and my Kitchen were pointed directly at the plants. They stopped EVERYTHING and after I watched this I went out to see how dark it was. It wasnt. I turned them off and after only 4 days they are doing GREAT! THANK YOU!!!!!!

    I happen to be watching this the night of a full moon and was curious about the claim about not being able to read a book by moonlight. Took a small print paperback outside with very little additional light pollution and with relatively little strain could read it by moonlight. I'm sure the point as a rule of thumb stands but wanted to share, thanks again.

Thank you, I can’t stress to you how much this lesson and overview has helped me. I’ve always wondered how much ambient light is too much light. I really connected with your analogy about the book and not being able to read it with ambient light no brighter than the light from a full moon! You rock my friend! So much gratitude, thank you!

    So interesting and enjoyable to listen to.
    Moonlight at night and the whole darkness subject. Marine Boot Camp we trained for moving through a jungle at night. Night vision or when our eyes adjust to see whatever they can in the dark. It takes awhile for eyes to adjust but if exposed to light, like a flashlight or flare, we lose our night vision immediately and to get it back takes minutes and the longer the better for seeing better in the dark or night vision. Preserving that night vision is a big deal for any of us. Once you have the night vision from being in the dark for a half hour and a light comes on, immediately close your eyes and cover them or ya lose that half hour of building up the night vision.
    I’ll blame it on coffee.
    Thanks Bruce 🤙🤙

    I need to know where the plants he was growing now came from vs the plants used in the 70s study. The plants from the 70s study could have been from outdoors and have adapted to moonlight naturally. The plants he used now could have been grown for generations indoors and their threshold for light could have gone down.

    Very interesting Dr. B! I was going to ask if hermaphroditism begins as well at 10+ nanomoles but then you answered that question later on. I will say in respect to your statement on that matter, there are some home breeders that have been known to turn a light on (for example) for 10 minutes in the middle of each dark period for a week, to produce pollen sacks in their females. I'd think you would be breeding hermaphrodites mainly but that's another topic. I am curious if those doing such a thing actually had some other stress factor involved maybe? I found it fascinating how the temperature regulates the level of effect caused by light pollution as well.

    If closed everything up & had a exhaust that's double (min) to triple in other words 4×4 u need 175 cfm coming in the bottom of tent on non stop when lights on & a exhaust of 350 to 450cfm u will get negetive pressure & then any flap or drain hole u open in the bottom of tent fresh air will gush in for free! It's like having fans at 75cfm for free where ever u have openings. If u get support poles u won't have to pit up with ur walls caving in & loosing quater a foot from each side of ur tent so you don't loose yield! Keeps orders in, keeps humidity stable, keeps temps stable, keeps pests away cause they feel the negetive pressure from meters away cause there so lite & stay away & much more plus fresh air coming in ur tent 24/7 & excellent for maintaining humidity at. Light. Will never rise more then 10% after lights off. If u don't have negetive pressure ull have the probs u have with temps & Humpty but more so temps, that's why it don't work for you. Give it go champ. And all the benefits I mentioned ur missing out on plus blowing odorous out of ur tent & giving access to pests & ull have to LITRILLY live with them to maintain environmental.

    Thanks for sharing and doing what you do. Fantastic. One thing I would like clearing up is @5:26 "if we assume that this is based on sunlight reflected off the moon." Here's the issue, direct sunlight records higher temperatures compared to measurements recorded in areas that are shaded, agreed? It's slightly cooler in the shade. Moonlight on the other hand produces the complete opposite. Moving the gauge from bright moonlight into a shadow region produces a temperature increase. It's warmer in the shade. Sunlights properties are turned on their head and this makes little sense does it? Any advice?
