  It's refreshing to watch videos that don't have all the crazy editing and flashy video shots. Nothing but pure, incredible information explained in a way my small brain can understand.

  I wish I could thank you all personally for your work and dedication. Thank you professor B, Shuyang Z, and Paul K for your research. It’s greatly appreciated.

  As said before by others it would be greatly appreciated if there could be a cheaper model for us at home growers. Not that your companies prices are outrageous but they are outta reach for most small time home growers just starting out or even the hobby growers who still want to do it right. You are the best and that's why we ask, of course we could buy from inexperienced companies who just wanna make a buck but have no quality because they wouldn't even know how to make a quality product but that's why many like myself wish you could help. Know you need to make a profit so maybe just a cellphone connection or app, or cheaper quality device but still with Dr. B's approval so all are happy. Know I should just save up but it's truly hard RN. Thank you tho as always and it's very appreciated that you took so many years learning than kind enough to share so much knowledge. The fact that you give props to everyone along the way shows great character as week. You're a great man Dr

  Horticulture is such a small field, I never expected to see Paul being mentioned! I was in undergrad with him

  This is a great educational video! Many parts intrigue me! I'm now curious about nutrition density. Take for example the lettuce exposed w/wo far-red photons. The far-red exposure grows larger, but it may also not be as nutritious. I have read and heard of other studies on blueberries, strawberries, etc. (now versus 50 years ago) and how sizes have increased, but nutritional densities have decreased significantly (obviously some factors like over-farming, soil nutrient depletion, ultimately under fertilizing contribute - who knows...). I guess one would also have to consider a plant has a theoretical limit of growth versus time + far-red exposure - that even if more fertilizer was supplied to assumingly keep up with growing demand, there may still be some nutrient density depletion. Super interesting to ponder!

  If you want a hit video, make a perfect spectrum and PPFD recommendation for different ftxft areas FOR Cannabis, because there are huge online communities all debating over this topic and you have the means and evidence to give a very good answer. There are a lot of companies offering custom LED chip setups and your recommendation would definitely help a lot of people and give people a bit of courage to try it and then we could end up with a lot of free research out there.

  To me personally, it&apos;s incredible how fast this knowledge from a few years ago, has already been implemented into modern grow lights, which are also getting cheaper by generation!!<br>Thanks to ANY proper scientist in this world ❤

  I&apos;ve watched this a few times over the past few years. To you and all contributees of accelerated plant growth, you are doing extraordinary things. Tell us how to clean our tap water next? We know, you know..😅

  True science is always in revision and reconsideration. Science is never settled as much as some would like it to be. Great video!
