i'm gunna have to find the artical, but IR far red light penetrates the canopy better than any other useable spectrum. (similar to Green spectrum, but this plant doesn't seem to use too much in green spectrum)

there was also a nasa experiment that not all their crops benifeted from far red IR some did, some did not.. I ponder how this effect may complexify with the vasty array of hybrids and landrace recombinations available.

i wonder where that line of where too much is and where enough is, you've got hortilux investing in far red IR lamps and led panels. so there has to be something too it if they are jumping on board.
They have some interesting new data that above 5-600ppfd, green can help photosynthesis, especially deep in the canopy where other wavelengths don’t reach.
