4. Many commercial grow lights deliver light mostly in the yellow/red part of the spectrum, along with smaller portions of all other visible light. Why would a grow light such as this promote plant growth and reproduction (flowering and fruiting) or is this a con job?

Answer and Explanation:

These lights can, in fact, promote the growth and reproduction of plants.

This is because growth, chlorophyll production, flowering and fruiting only occur if the plant is exposed to a band of light with 640-720 nm. Plants receive this band of light naturally through the sun, but when solar energy is not available it is possible to use cultivation lamps that emit this type of light band, which corresponds to the yellow/red spectra.
