LED lighting for indoor cultivation

Arrival of LEDs revolutionized indoor cultivation of foliage and other small plants. 
Plants need Red and Bule light of the spectrum for photosynthesis . Green waves are rejected and that is why we see trees in green. 
Some people not understanding this try green shades and green lights to grow plants. 

Earlier they used White LEDs and power used to produce green waves of the spectrum was wasted. 

 Now we use Red (60-70%) and Blue (40-30%) LEDs with less heat and less power consumption.
LEDs allow Vertical growing using limited space for many layers of beds.
 We can try our own by making LED panels   . 1 LED is around Rs. 2.50.
