    I don’t get it, but I do have deuteranopia.

    The air is full of nitrogen with trace amounts of carbon. The soil is rich in carbon but nitrogen poor. Plants draw carbon from the air and nitrogen from the soil.

        Nitrogen as a gas (N2) has a triple bond to another nitrogen. Those are the hardest bonds to break. CO2 has strong double bonds to oxygen, but those are easier to break. Bacteria and fungi are able to split nitrogen and supply it to plant roots in exchange for carbon (sugars) in symbiotic relationships.

        Side note, but we’re starting to see the exchange rates of nitrogen and carbon shift, because plants are now absorbing/exchanging so much carbon from the air

    I thought green light was the least effective? That’s why you see all those purple grow lights.

        I completely misinterpreted this whole situation. Thought he was reaching out longingly.

          The post title, GTFO, is an abbreviation/acronym/initialism (? idk the difference) for “get the fuck out”.

      Green light isn’t absorbed by green plant leaves, it’s reflected. The pigments in leaves do absorb waves on either side of green, which is why those blue+red lights are used
