Which light wavelengths are more suitable for plant growth?

Grow lights are lamps that use the principle of plant photosynthesis to supplement light for plants. It can be used to extend plant light exposure, as supplemental light in rainy weather, in conditions lacking natural light, or as a complete replacement for natural light in greenhouses. Common plant grow lights include incandescent lamps, fluorescent lamps, HID lamps, and LED lamps.

Selection and installation of plant grow lights requires certain expertise. 

First of all, plants need a certain light intensity and reach the light compensation point to grow normally. If the intensity does not reach the light compensation point, it will not work for plant growth, which is why some people say that plant lights are useless. When the light reaches the light saturation point, the accumulation of photosynthesis substances will no longer increase, and even the phenomenon of photoinhibition will occur when the light saturation point exceeds the light saturation point. Generally, it is difficult for plant lights to reach the light saturation point. If the intensity exceeds the compensation point, it will inevitably cause waste, even inhibit growth, burn leaves, and play a negative role. The light compensation point and light saturation point of various plants are different, so it is necessary to choose a lamp with an appropriate light intensity according to the type of plant.

Can A Regular Light Bulb Help Plants Grow?

 Yes, artificial light from a regular light bulb does help plants grow!

1. Under normal circumstances, ordinary light bulbs are used to supplement light for plants. 

Nowadays, most household lights are LED lights. This kind of light contains blue-green light and red-orange light that plants need. In order for the plant to grow better, it is necessary to let plants receive real sunlight. In long-term rainy weather, you can use a special grow light to illuminate the plants, this light is specially customized for plants. When giving light for plants, lights can be placed according to the position of the plants, which can not only save space, but also make the plant growth environment more suitable. When using grow lights, do not get plants too close, in case light temperature burns the leaves of the plants and cause them to fall off.

2. Plants have different requirements for light. 

If it is a light-loving plant, it must be supplemented with light when cultivated indoors. Otherwise, it will grow poorly or even die. But some shade-loving plants do well indoors. Usually, LED light source is used for supplementary light, but according to the degree of light requirements of different plants, the luminous intensity of LED light needs to be different.

3. Indoor lighting is usually shorter than outdoors, and outdoor is also limited to weather conditions.

Plants will grow faster if there is full sun, and if it is a flower like a flower, it will also prolong the flowering period. Thus the grow light was born. Its main function is to provide light to plants. The energy consumption of general light bulbs is very large, even if it is somewhat helpful to plants, but the power consumption is too large, so the cost of plant growth is too high, so it is more suitable for plant growth lamps.

Are LED grow lights harmful to the human health?

LED grow lights are harmful to human body.

1. Harmful to the human body. When people are exposed to red light and ultraviolet light sources for a long time, it will cause skin itching, erythema, increased toxin content in the macular area of ​​the eyes, and retinal damage. The red light source in the plant growth lamp can prolong the growth life of the plant, and the purple light source can promote the growth and development of roots, branches and leaves.

2. The led plant growth light is the same as the general indoor lighting, unless it is specially aimed at people, and does not illuminate the plants. 24 hours to look after people, people can not sleep. Or the brightness is too strong, always facing people's eyes. That would be uncomfortable. What harm is done to people by the lighting in the home, what harm does it do to people. There is no harm in normal use.

3. There must be enough space, and it is necessary to leave a suitable height and position to hang or place lamps, depending on the specific situation of your own home.

The ultraviolet light in the plant growth lamp can accelerate the growth of plants, accelerate the division and differentiation of cells in roots and leaves, and also allow the roots to better absorb nutrients from the soil, allowing plants to quickly transfer nutrients from stems. On the light source of red light, it plays a role in prolonging the life of plants and delaying the withering of flowers. Red light can also accelerate the flowering and fruiting of plants, ensure normal photosynthesis, and increase the yield and quality of fruits.
