Question on Botany	trunl	12/06/03
I am doing a science project at school, and need an answer to a question by an expert. I need the answer by Sunday afternoon, so if you cannot answer by then, then disregard the question. Please answer the following questions in full length. How does colored light effect plant growth? What color would make plants grow the most? Why? Thank you for your time, Jeff

Plants need a full range of sunlight to thrive. The chlorophyll absorbs most wavelengths, but reflects green (that's why plants look green). So, full spectrums of light are best, any light without green is also good (green light is a wasted color...). The real answer is "white light".
