What characteristics of grow lights are beneficial to hydroponics?
Light is the engine of all plant growth. For indoor, light spectrum is important,
Plants mainly use red and blue light for photosynthesis, but rarely use green light. That’s why plants look green: red and blue wavelengths are absorbed and green wavelengths are reflected. The grow light emitting relatively more red and blue and relatively less green is better than the full spectrum grow light emitting the same intensity.
When it comes to intensity, grow light must be bright enough and close enough to plants to simulate natural sunlight. Dimmer or distant light is not as effective as close, bright light. Of course, it depends on the specific plants planted. A shade tolerant plant grows darker than a plant that needs plenty of sunlight. In particular, the LED plant grow light has a full spectrum suitable for all growth processes of plants. In addition, it has good heat dissipation effect and high efficiency, which makes the LED grow lights become the mainstream of the market. Many led plant grow light system manufacturers have high-quality LED cannabis grow lights. Dmxgrow 960W full spectrum led grow light have a full spectrum, and have high production capacity and high efficiency for hemp/ cannabis. It is one of the best-selling products in the market.
Because various advantages of indoor plants growing are recognized by the majority of growers, more and more growers choose to indoor growing marijuana in the room, and there are many ways to plant indoors, such as hydroponic growing system greenhouse and so on. Indoor hydroponic growing system is the primary choice of most growers.
Another consideration is cost. What is the initial purchase price and the continuous operating cost? LED grow lights are more cost-effective than incandescent grow lights or fluorescent grow lamps because they convert a greater proportion of electrical energy into useful wavelengths. Incandescent grow lamps waste a lot of electric energy as heat. If this heat must dissipate, you need to add the cost of fans or other cooling equipment to the cost of the grow lamp.
