The role of LED grow lights

There are five essential pillars for plant growth: temperature, moisture, nutrition, air and light. The quality of light, the intensity of light, and the duration of light together determine the growth cycle of plants.

Different wavelengths of light have different effects on plant photosynthesis. The wavelength of light required for plant photosynthesis is around 400-700nm. 400-500nm (blue) light and 610-720nm (red) contribute significantly to photosynthesis. Blue light helps plant photosynthesis, which can promote green leaf growth, protein synthesis, and fruit formation; red light can promote plant rhizome growth, help flowering and fruiting, prolong flowering period, and increase yield.

When using a plant lamp to fill the plant with light, the height from the leaves is generally about 0.5-1 meters, and the continuous irradiation for 12-16 hours a day can replace sunlight. It solves the problem of lack of sunlight in the greenhouse in winter, and promotes the chlorophyll, anthocyanin and carotene required in plant photosynthesis, so that fruits and vegetables are harvested 20% earlier, the yield of vegetables and fruits is increased by 30% to 50%, and the sweetness of fruits and vegetables is improved. Reduce pests and diseases.

Plants grow in open-air nature, and each plant has formed its own photoperiod genes, but due to various uncontrollable natural factors, their true growth talent has not been tapped. LED grow lights bring plants from outdoors to indoors , Various growth conditions can be manually controlled, completely activate the growth cells of plants, and adjust the photoperiod of plants through LED grow lights, thereby affecting the growth of plants.
