The effect of red, blue and white light on the growth and development of the Cannabis Sativa L. plant

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of red (600-700 nm, peak 660), blue (400-500 nm, peak 450) and white light on the morphological and photosynthetic qualities of the plant Cannabis Sativa L.

The plants cultivated under WL were 23% higher than those cultivated under the light emitting diodes BR. The area foliar was also larger in WL than in BR by 20% The number of lateral branches and the length of the dominant lateral branches were not significantly different.

It was concluded that the light WL emitting a Full spectrum of light affects plant growth and development better than BR light
