Every grower has his own skills for planting. However, there are many newcomers who have just started with LED grow light. They still don't know much about the needs of LED grow lights, and don't know how to deal with them. Today I will share with you the planting techniques.
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 light 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 the growth of plants will be more effective.
2. Illumination distance
The illumination distance of LED grow light is very important. You need to adjust the points for different plants at different stages, and also unify the distance to make the illumination 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 light is mainly determined according to plants, which can be 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 light 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.
The above is to share with you the planting skills when using LED grow light, I hope to give you help and reference.
