You're welcome, I do some part time work involving CBC and so I'm pretty current on Canadian news Thumbs up

I did a quick google on the blue LED's as grow lights and found that the blue light encourages leaf growth and chlorophyl production and discourages flowering. This would clearly be great for lettuce and leafy greens, which is their goal. I think that finding ways to produce healthy foods in the far north is both interesting and important for the people living there. It saves on fossil fuel for transport and allows people to eat a healthier diet with less cost. Of course, heating would be the big obstacle to keeping the costs down. I'm looking forward to reading about new solutions for that. Anyway, I'm impressed with the ingenuity and think it will benefit everyone.
A day without sunshine is like, you know, night.
