I hope this helps. Saturn's radiation would have been mostly red light, but also a lot of blue light due to the corona and plasmasphere generating blue, UV and X-ray light via the electrical power that Saturn received as a brown dwarf. The color would have been magenta and many LED lights for plants are that color, which the plants love. Thus, chlorophyll would be perfectly adapted to Saturnlight, not the harsher sunlight of our present sun; that would explain why chlorophyll "spits out" most of the blue-green, green and yellow-green light and uses blue and red light. Quoting: observationI find the above a very satisfying explanation. I recall the following from my aquarist days High-pressure sodium lights yield yellow lighting (2200 K) and have a very poor color rendering index of 22. They are used for the second (or reproductive) phase of the growth. If high-pressure sodium lights are used for the vegetative phase, plants will usually grow slightly more quickly. The major drawback to growing under high-pressure sodium alone is that the plants tend to be taller and leggier, with a longer internodal length than plants grown under metal halide bulbs. High-pressure sodium lights enhance the fruiting and flowering process in plants. Plants use the orange/red spectrum HPS in their reproductive processes, which produces larger harvests of higher quality herbs, vegetables, fruits or flowers. Sometimes the plants grown under these lights do not appear healthy due to the poor color rendering of high-pressure sodium, which makes the plants look pale, washed out or nitrogen starved.
Quoting: [link to en.wikipedia.org] A very orange glow produced by high pressure sodium lamps According to one source, to maximize plant growth and health using available and affordable LEDs, U.S. patent #6921182 from July 2005 claims that "the proportion of twelve red 660 nm LEDs, plus six orange 612 nm LEDs and one blue 470 nm LED was optimal", such that the ratio of blue light to red & orange light is 6-8%.[1]
It is also often published that for vegetative growth, blue LEDs are preferred, where the light has a wavelength somewhere in the mid-400 nm (nanometers). For growing fruits or flowers, a greater proportion of deep-red LEDs is considered preferable, with light very near 660 nm, the exact number this wavelength being much more critical than for the blue LED. Further research has shown that infrared and ultraviolet diodes give a full spectrum needed for flowering plants to effectively grow and flower.[1][citation needed]
