  • Publication number: 20250204334
    Abstract: The present invention is directed at a method to enhance the growth of a plant in a controlled growing environment by using light sources which illuminate the plant. The method involves selecting a first frequency and first intensity for the light source, then selecting a second frequency and a second intensity for the light source, and maintaining the first and second intensities at a predetermined ratio. The first frequency may be selected from the range of approximately 620 to approximately 700 nanometers and the second may be selected from the range of approximately 700 to approximately 750 nanometers. The predetermined ratio may be between 1.73-2.60 and most preferably 1.74.
