How It Works
Light from the sun is absorbed by quantum dots in the UbiGro film. The quantum dots shift shorter wavelength colors, like UV and blue, towards the red which is more efficient for photosynthesis.
The light emitted by the quantum dots also affects the plant structure, so plants can focus more energy on fruit and flowers. The luminescent film also emits light in all directions, allowing the light to reach deeper into the plant canopy.
