But LED grow lights haven't really impressed me right now, solar powered cells can be faulty and hydroponic systems work well with synthetic nutrients so we still have a ways to go.
If they used black film instead of clear film they would probably have bigger plants because it's known that root systems don't like contact with light.

the film protects the plants from harmful bacteria and is effective in times of drought as well.
