It's The Light

Fact: Phototropism Plants have evolved to grow toward blue light. This stands to reason because the middle of the sky is rich in blue light while the horizons are rich in red light.
Conclusion: To direct plant growth up and out of the tube and to suppress lateral branching, the sidewalls should bathe the plant in red light. Blue light sends an inappropriate signal. Treessentials Clipper Grow Tubes bathe the vine in red light.

Fact: Chlorophyll synthesis peaks in the red and in the blue. The blue light is much less effective than red light at chlorophyll photosynthesis.
Conclusion: To maximize plant growth, maximize the amount of red light by using red pigments to reflect red light back toward the leaves. Treessentials Clipper Grow Tubes maximize red light.

Fact: Plants have evolved to use specific wavelength of light to gather important information about environmental growing conditions. The most important information is whether or not the plant is in the shade of another plant. Green leaves strongly absorb red light. If the plant detects a high concentration of red light (that can happen only in full sun) it will grow as a "sun" plant. Sun plants are exposed to the elements and thereby need strong stems and big root systems.
Conclusion: To grow plants with strong stems and big root systems, bathe the vine in red light.

Fact: Reversing the red effect creates a shade plant. If reversal is triggered, the plant will grow in a manner optimized for canopy shade. The plant will allocate growth resources to shoot elongation at the expense of the root system and stem caliper. This effect peaks in the far red, which is beyond human vision. Green leaves are highly transmissive of far red light, so a plant in canopy shade would be bathed in a higher concentration of far red light than if the plant were in full sun. The actual trigger mechanism is the ratio red to far red light. Since it is a ratio we can prevent the reversal by any combination of increasing red light or reducing far red light.
Conclusion: As we have stated before Treessentials Clipper Grow Tubes enhance the amount of red light the plant "sees". The red light reflected of the specially pigmented sidewalls keep your vine growing fast with a balanced shoot and root system.
