Default Red Plants, Iron Dependant???

|| "RedForeman ©®" wrote in message
||| I've seen/read/heard or guessed, that most red plants, almost
||| require loads of Iron in the water...
||| true or false?

|| The answer would be false, their iron content is the same as green
|| plants.
|| "Eat your reds"..........hehe.
||
|| Color has a few parameters that influence it. Our preception of color
|| is part of it also. Generally high traces/PO4/CO2 and low NO3 gives
|| the best reds.

So, it's entirely possible that my 6700k bulbs are just bring out less reds,
than say, a 3500k bulb?

In my eyes, I like a bulb closer to 3500-4200k, it's bluer, greener, and
redder than the 6700k, and THAT is my perception.

|| But do red plants need more iron than green plants?
|| Nope.

Thanks as usual... :-)
