Re: [AGA Member] Red Pigment-K spectrum anecdotes

[MotomanBarton@aol.com]

Yeah, I'm not saying that the only thing that will grow in bright light are 
red plants i'm just saying that most of the red plants can only grow in bright 
light. Because if they are shodowed they will not be able to absorb enough 
light in order to survive. Think of it as a bunch of dots Green dots abosrb light 
red ones don't (in every plant their are red pigments and green pigments what 
determins the colour of the plant is the amount of red to green pigment) so 
if their are alot of red dots their will have to be alot of light in order for 
the fewer amount of green dots to pull in enought light for the plant to 
survive.
