How Dark is Dark Enough? Darkness level requirements for plants with Dr. Bruce Bugbee

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 พ.ค. 2022
  • In this video, Dr. Bruce Bugbee discusses how sensitive different types of crops are to light pollution during their prescribed dark periods. This lecture is not about photoperiod requirements, but the tolerance different species have to even a tiny light leak at night. Light leaks can be devastating to flowering and can even cause hermaphrodites. Bruce describes the research that has been done on this topic, as well as gives a rules-of-thumb for light pollution and shows some instruments that can be used to ensure your plants are getting the level of darkness they need for maximum health. Shown during the video is the Apogee Instruments PQ-640 Quantum Light Pollution sensor: www.apogeeinst....

    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.

    Bruce first and foremost thank you so much for the invaluable information in lighting and plant biology you provide to us for free.
    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.

    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 🤙🤙

    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.
    Love the work you do, and the fact you share the information with us! I am looking forward to the next one!
