Can LED grow light affect taste of plant?

The traditional view is that the taste of plants is completely decided by the genes of the species, and there is no way to change them through cultivation techniques or ecological conditions. Light also only affects plant morphology or yield.

However, based on experiments conducted by an organization, this view may be wrong.

This organization split the sweet basil into two groups, each using different light recipe.

Group?A:

Group?B:

Aside from the spectrum, the rest of the growing conditions were exactly the same.

After the same growing time, picking and scoring according to different flavor dimensions, the result shows obvious differences.

It turns out that by controlling the spectrum, growers can obtain their own unique product. Unfortunately, most plant lights on the market have their spectrum determined at the factory, not to mention that the optimal spectrum required by different plant species is different. Even within the same plant species, different spectra can yield different products.

This means that LED plant lights with a fixed spectrum are not conducive to growers to create products with differentiated competitiveness.

The spectrally adjustable function of Ultra Plant? precisely to help growers cultivate differentiated products.
