Next after that: Blue light
Worst: Green
Chlorophyll can absorb red and blue light, both of which are present in white light. It reflects green light and doesn't use it for photosynthesis.

Answer 3

Plants grow best using red and blue light because they have pigments that allow them to absorb light at those wavelengths. Generally though, plants are pretty good at shifting other wavelengths (colors) to something they can use. In fact, wavelength of light from 400 nm (blue-violet) to 700nm (red) is called photosynthetically active radiation (PAR). You might look up PAR using a search engine.

Answer 4

The best types of electric light for plant growth are fluorescent and high
intensity discharge lamps (HID). HID lamps are of several kinds including high
pressure sodium, a type often used in street lights. Incandescent light
produces a lot of heat and not much light so is not as good for plant growth.

Answer 5

Plants need sun light to grow. Buy a big pot, put the seeds in, water it, and put it somewhere there is light.

Answer 6

Actually, it's a white light given off by a metal halide lamp.
