Skills of LED Grow light for cannabis growing
- Illumination distance
The illumination distance of LED grow light is very important. You should adjust the lights at different stages, and unify the distance to make the illumination more uniform. If the distance is not well controlled, it may harm the growth of cannabis. The general recommendation is that the distance between germination stage: 60cm, seedling stage: 75cm, growth stage: 45cm, flowering stage: 30cm.
- Evenly distributed installation
Measure the floor area. By multiplying the length by the width, the area of cannabis cultivation is square meters. You can make the right choice based on the power provided per square meter, that is, how many led plant lights are installed per square meter. In this way, each lamp can be evenly distributed, so that the outer edge will receive strong light, making the light more uniform and more effective for the growth of plants.
- Photoperiodic operation
Like many plants, marijuana matures with the seasons. When the photoperiod is shortened and the light wave is prolonged, marijuana plants are prompted to produce flowers or seeds to prepare for the next generation of plants. When growing marijuana indoors, growers can control the Photoperiod of plants through LED grow lights to achieve better planting effect. Although seedlings grow well under constant light, vegetative plants should maintain a light cycle of not less than 18 hours. Although some growers place their nutritious plants under continuous light, it is believed that the healthiest and most abundant plants will experience darkness for at least a few hours in 24 hours. Signaling flowering to cannabis plants requires a light cycle that turns into 12 hours of light and 12 hours of Darkness – no more and no less.
In short, cannabis is a plant that loving lights, which not only has high requirements for spectrum, but also has a long time for light supplement. Therefore, when purchasing led grow lights, the spectrum is required to meet the needs of marijuana, and the light intensity should be enough, but also pay attention to plant rest.
