Open Source "Pink Gardening" using Red/Blue LEDs for Indoor Plant Growth
Submitted by harpswellmakers on Wed, 01/29/2014 - 2:20pmI would like to examine how recent scientific advances in using combinations of Red and Blue light to stimulate indoor plant growth can be combined with open embedded computing to provide a truly accessible method of growing fresh produce for almost any environment. Usage of LEDs in indoor horticulture has grown substantially in the past year alone. However, the vast majority of commercial LEDs appear to simply try to replicate the features of a more traditonal lighting source rather than truly using the new medium to its potential.
