Nowadays, people mostly use LED grow lights to supplement light when planting plants. They can supplement light for vegetables, fruits, and flowers. They can be used for seedlings, growth, flowering, and fruiting. The effect is also good. It has the effect of increasing production and increment, listing in advance, and enhancing quality. It has the effect of preventing overgrowth and bright colors of flowers. It can be used in home planting, plant factories, and greenhouses.
Generally, outdoor light is sufficient for photosynthesis of plants to meet their own growth needs, while indoor planting generally requires LED grow lights to supplement light, but if the outdoor planting environment is weak and the light intensity and light time cannot be satisfied, LEDs can also be used Plant lights are used to supplement light, what should be paid attention to when choosing LED grow lights for outdoor planting? How to choose the right LED grow light?
Tips for supplementing light of outdoor yaorong LED grow lights:
1. Install evenly distributed
Measure the floor area. Multiply the length by the width to get the square meters of the planting area. You can make the right choice based on how much power to provide per square meter, that is, how many LED grow lights are installed per square meter. In this way, each lamp can be evenly distributed, so that the outer edge will receive strong light, so that the light will be more uniform, and it will be more effective for the growth of plants.
2. Illumination distance
The lighting distance of LED grow lights is very important. You should adjust the points for different plants at different stages, and you must also unify the distance to make the light even more uniform. If the distance is not well controlled, it may harm the growth of plants. The general recommendation is that the germination stage distance: 60 cm, the seedling stage distance: 75 cm, the growth stage distance: 45 cm, and the flowering stage distance: 30 cm.
3. Lighting time
The lighting time of LED grow lights is mainly determined according to plants, which are divided into two types, positive plants and negative plants. Positive plants are more light-loving, and the lighting time can be longer when supplementing the light, usually 18/6 (on/off) or 20/4 (on/off). For negative plants, the lighting time is normal, usually 12/12 (on/off).
4. Dimming level
The dimming of LED grow lights can make plants grow better at each stage, the general germination rate: 30%; seedlings: 50%-75%; growth: 75%-100%; flowering: 100%. Give plants the best growth status.
5. Humidity, temperature
Photosynthesis and transpiration rate are directly affected by temperature, humidity and airflow. Find the best temperature and humidity for your plants between 75*-85*F and 50%-70% humidity, and have sufficient airflow to replenish carbon dioxide.
Attention to the selection of outdoor yaorong LED grow lights:
1. Pay attention to the wavelength range of red and blue light when choosing LED grow lights. Because red and blue light have obvious effects on plants, but that is only for most plants, not all plants have effects. Red light with a wavelength of about 660nm and blue light with a wavelength of about 450-470nm have the best effect on plants.
2. Pay attention to the ratio of red and blue. The ratio of red and blue light to each type of plant is different, because each type of plant has different requirements, so it is more clear that when choosing the red and blue ratio of LED grow lights, the main thing to do is to look at the planting plant.
3. Pay attention to power selection. Power will affect the light intensity. Under certain conditions, the light intensity affects the progress of photosynthesis. Then it depends on the characteristics of the plants. If plants are more light-loving, choose high-power to meet the light demand, otherwise choose normal power.
The choice of LED grow lights is based on the types of crops and the requirements for light, as well as the light conditions of the planting environment. Choose according to the requirements of crops for light intensity and light time.
The most important thing to pay attention to when choosing supplemental light outdoors is the waterproofness and service life of LED grow lights. Outdoors have to experience daily wind and rain, so the waterproofness of LED grow lights is necessary to ensure normal use. When buying LED grow lights, ask about the warranty time. If you have any problems during use, you can ask the seller to solve them.
Waterproof LED grow lights can be used not only outdoors, but also in greenhouses with high humidity and sprinkler watering. The service life and safety of using LED grow lights are guaranteed.
Whether it is indoor or outdoor planting, we must pay attention to all aspects when using LED grow lights to fill light, to give plants better growth, and to be responsible for plants is to be responsible for ourselves.
