Most all frequency's of green light are useless and are reflected - this is why we see most plant matter, in this case marijuana, as being green.

Well it's actually chlorophyll that makes the plants green... the natural colour of the leaves behind the chlorophyll is a reddy, orangey, browney colour... or the colours of autumn, or as the guys in the US would call it 'Fall'. I would like to see the source for this information you give on red light encouraging the onset of fruit production...
Also the mention of gibberillic acid... as you said, blue light promotes this hormone, but then surely blue light would obviously be better for flowering... as gibberillic acid actually promotes flowering.
