Interesting experiment idea

[mjr]

This isn't really a "life advice" thing, but just an interesting idea for an experiment I had, but I don't know how to set it up.

Basically, it's this:

1. Have a "control" plant, that grows from seeds, under natural light.
2. Have other plants, also that would grow from seeds, under different colors of light (i.e. a plant under red light, orange light, yellow light, etc.)

Observe the results, and see how all the grown plants under the different colors of light differ from the control.

Sort of been done, they didn't use all the wavelengths, just three. But the results should give some indication of what sorts of results you'd get out of orange, yellow, and purple lights.

Thanks! I'll give it a read.
