LED an Abiotic stress elicitor or not

Hi all
Have come to the decision light has to be looked at a different way broken down to its seperate parts it's not light anymore but.
Electromagnetic energy waves.

Putting a light source over our plants we are feeding them with particles from those different wave lengths.

Does LED feed our plants with a purer form of energy wave.?

Will a certain combination of energy waves feed better than others ?

As our plants feed from light energy waves can this be called an Elicitor?

Let me make it easy for you : https://www.growweedeasy.com/

I feed my plant photons amongst others, as all kelvins(color temps) have their uses including green even 'no color'

light is not an elicitor for cannabis but the jerks that rip leaves of releasing JA are, also LST etc

good luck

Your right about green it gives depth of penetration

Think your wrong about it not being an elicitor as you are feeding the plant particles. Different colour particles are showing to have a different effect.
Hell they bung microbes in soil an it's called an elicitor so why not when you change the colour combo.
As you have changed it from the normal white light from the sun and made your own sun then in my eyes you have made an elicitor

Elicitors in plant biology are extrinsic or foreign molecules often associated with plant pests, diseases or synergistic organisms. Elicitor molecules can attach to special receptor proteins located on plant cell membranes, light photons -don't
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elicitor = a good read!

Yes I got that but looking at it coming in the way of particles coming from the electromagnetic energy waves. Like we absorb light particles and make vitamin D
LED is shown to increase plant resistance to pests and disease so it must be absorbing better particles is it not?
As the green spectrum increases penetration.
And then a particle in a way is a sort of food?
In my eyes another form of elicitor

Next one is gonna be a real bitch LOL.
Static electricity.
I.E. the static tickle.
Have got this one sussed though.
use it in my growing equipment if you want to watch it in action.
Watch the hat is back in grow journals
Just one bitchin thing is it can't be measured.
Only in plant growth comparisons as they don't do a meter that can measure.
Well they do a meter that measures static in general. But I don't think it can measure in these circumstances
