Re: Spread Sheet
Hi Colin,
A few years ago I was given a present of a CD-ROM by BBC Gardeners' World Magazine with Alan Tichmarsh and GW team, called "Garden Manager" and contains a "Extensive plant database to customise".

Primrose have a look at http://www.lumigrowth.com/light-essential/
It's about growlights but it gives a good insight into colours of light and how plants use them.
