Thanks to Bruce for such a great interview. Take care, Shane

[@Station-uf3nd]

Genuinely enjoyed this. Much content and will listen too again. Thank you for including images, very helpful.

[@MIGROLIGHT]

Thanks. It was a real pleasure to do. I cut it down from over an hour but I think it's too long for most. I'm going to extract some of the gems of info to shorter videos for those with shorter concentration spans than us 😉

[@eluis_uckban]

@@MIGROLIGHT It would be interesting for someone to help with the subtitles in Spanish, there is a large community in this language that would be grateful to have all this wonderful information translated. Greetings and many thanks for this great contribution.

Everybody needs to listen to Bruce this man is a genius of light on plants 🌱 💡. there is math and science behind everything if you open your eyes

[@manlikegt]

Soo interesting to hear experts coming together to try and dispel some of the common myths which surround our industry. Knowledge is power, thanks again for open and honest content.

[@locutusdeborg4288]

Two of my FAVORITE CHANNELS to watch. Check out BUILDASOIL. All 3 of these channels are very good too. NO NASTY stomach churning musak, no nontalented people trying to entertain you, and NO wasted time with a COOL DUDE letting you watch him hit a bong every video! .

[@raymondgetz4866]

One thing about this interview it was about the best I have ever seen done with Dr. Bruce. It's all about the questions you asked. No one as of yet has had the intelligence to find out as much valuable information as you did. The show is amazing thanks to the intelligence of the man doing the interview! Fifty potential shows in all this info.

[@jonnflores8345]

We need more and more of people like Dr. Bugbee. We need actual science to help the lighting industry grow...which will benefit us...the consumer. It's all been so hot and miss up until recently. We purchase light and have to trust that the marketing claims of the product are sincere. Without actual science behind it... we have just been buying what appeals to us ...or...what we thought was the best bargain....then crossing our fingers and hoping it was gonna work! People like Dr Bugbee and Shane are much appreciated.

Fascinating, particularly the part about uv rays. Thanks

[@royalspin]

Yes definitely .

[@Soilfoodwebwarrior]

Thanks to both of you.

[@ddtblack]

Extremely interesting and captivating! Thank you so much for sharing this knowledge! Do you reckon there might be a part 2? I'd love to hear more about far red, and how to implement it efficiently into a grow (what time of the day/night cycle it should be used, what stages of plant development it is more beneficial for, what impact it has on plants on a metabolic level...), along with stuff such as Emerson effect, or possible benefits of high CRI lights, versus the obvious disadvantage of a lower PPF/W. Please let me know, I'd love to watch another video as instructive as this one!

[@damon908]

Thanks Migro, so much learned. More when you can please thank you kindly:)

[@workuntilimoon7930]

My two favorite people to watch when it comes to lights

[@rockercater]

Dr Bruce Bugbee YOU HAVE TAUGHT ME A LOT. THANK YOU for showing us the NEW things that are on the fore front of technology... "FAR" "RED" Intriguing.......

[@royalspin]

This was very interesting to watch and I learned a lot from it . I'm coming to this subject from a planted fish tank perspective with all this which has slightly different parameters that affect plant growth such as the depth of water and how tannins can affect the overall light distribution such as when you have a biotope species specific tank like from the Amazon region where the water can be darker because of the tannins from the leaf decay . Also if you have a saltwater tabk with live corals the blue end of the spectrum is vital to their health and reproduction which is why a lot of people have been using metal halide lights for many years now . Also ultraviolet light is important to reduce algae blooms as well as reducing pathogens in the water which is why many newer fish tank filters have UV light sterilization to assist in the overall health of the tank . This study of sunlight replication is also extremely important to understand when it comes to any future off world colonization efforts such as any colony on Mars where UV radiation is much higher and dangerous to any life forms . Using artificial lighting will be a must have for the colonists . Although they could use the natural sunlight in greenhouses like we always see in the movies the fact is that they'll have to have special coatings to reduce the amount of UV light plus suplimental heating and if there's a massive dust storm ,how would they be able to make use of the sun if the sky is choked with dust and sand everywhere around the entire planet for months at a time ? If human beings intend to colonize Mars we'll have to get all this worked out long before setting up any operations on this planet and using solar power alone for above ground greenhouses won't cut it . They're going to have to use old lava tunnels to shelter from the radiation and use artificial lighting only but I digress . Anyways great stuff and very interesting .👍

[@godisgod]

This was a dope talk. Thank you both. This was very helpful to me as I research on lighting technology to help me grow bonsai indoors. For the most part, the goals for growing bonsai are very different from growing weed, but there are some crossovers and this information was very useful.

[@maxmus2244]

I just wanted to make an observation. It takes all kinds! Light is good and light is life. As the founder of MIGRO you have observed particular benefits of LED lights. Therefore you have specialized according to your nature, blazing a trail into a particular and important specialized artificial lighting method. I find the same tendancy in myself. I do have epiphanies. But most of the time I find things that fascinate me and want to specialize in maximizing very localized knowledge. This approach is critical for understanding and maximazation of the intricacies of every field of study. I have learned from you. Be encouraged.

[@manwithbeers]

With Rec Cannabis being legal in Canada in a little over a month there are already several studies being set up in jointly funded programs by Universities, Federal Government and BioTech Companies. So the ban on Cannabis research is about done finally. The studies I was informed of are more involved in compounds produced by strain but growth and chemical development as influenced by light would not be far away. Excellent insight on lighting from the masters. Thank you very much.

[@MIGROLIGHT]

Very interesting, if you hear of any studies underway please let us know, thanks, Shane

There is a studies program in my area at a university and focuses only on Cannabis and I'm in Canada so HOPEFULLY....

[@MinnesotaHighLife]

I'd love to see new research on this since LED tech has exploded in the last 5 years since this study was done. Curious if LED has become more superior or if they haven't seen any improvement since the study.
