(30m)CRI is out and a whole bunch of new letters are in, boring as hell but you just never know, Bugbee introduces the 'new' 5 screen reader, (Spectro-radio-meter) but at what cost?... roll one up and take notes lol Spoiler Welcome to our channel, where we explore fascinating topics at the intersection of science, nature, and technology. In this video, we delve into the captivating world of photobiology metrics and how light profoundly influences various life forms. Using the metrics found on the Apogee InSight, world renounced researcher and scientist Dr. Bruce Bugbee explain various photobiology metrics and how they can influence plant growth.

Photobiology metrics provide us with a comprehensive framework to measure and understand this impact. Discover how photobiology metrics allow us to quantify the quality, intensity, and spectral characteristics of light, enabling us to study its effects on different photobiological processes. Learn about key metrics such as photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD), and spectral distribution, and how they contribute to our understanding of light's effects on plant growth. We delve into the latest research findings and discuss real-world applications of photobiological metrics, including optimized lighting solutions for indoor agriculture. Whether you're a curious nature enthusiast, a scientist, or simply intrigued by the wonders of light, this video will provide you with valuable insights into the power of photobiological metrics.

and I thought it would be called a 'Spectro- PHOTO- meter' than the 'Spectro-RADIO-meter' used was told are about us$2k
lol I remember when LED's were just coming out as a viable grow option and everyone was telling the HPS users how useless their light was because it emitted a lot of green. Turns out we didn't know shit then and we still don't.
Greens got penetration, unlike blue and low red, the info keeps flowing you gotta wonder whats its gonna be even in 10 - 20 years time...a major science perhaps
I think it'll take at least 10 before we have any more major upgrades in LED performance. IMO the "new" diodes aren't really any better. I'm still rocking my original QB 288 boards from HLG that I bought back in 2017. using them right next to a brand new HLG scorpion diablo and the plants are all the same.
