LED Growing Plants Indoor

LED cultivation should be step by step. In times of crisis we must find ways to limit spending in everything, even in our hobbies. Whoever has the hobby of growing indoors, or will have to reduce the power of illumination, then, also limiting production or technology will have to change, leaving the sodium vapor and dedicated to the led.

LED plant grow lights do not usually have UV rays, this makes it safer to them and "healthy" for the grower who is in contact with them, not only safer for the grower, but also for the cultivation, UV usually destroy the root tissue, then, as in all crops, germination must be done to dark.

There are many brands producing LED panels, depending on the manufacturer, can vary between 120w and 180w x m2 for the growth phase, depending on the height and angle you have the light, this power should be enough. According to technical data, would be equivalent to 240w and 360w kit high pressure sodium. And don’t forget the indoor plant watering systems.

Not all are advantages, the negative things of the LEDs are the defenses before insects, defenses activated by the colors of high pressure lamps, which LEDs can not even provide and low temperatures at which they work with garden tool set, positive who grows in very warm areas, but negative for those grown in colder areas. This can be compensated with a small stove or heating system.

With lower temperatures, the pot will take longer to evaporate the water, this must be taken into account when using fertilizers. and experienced with this type of culture, people recommend using coconut based substrate, or be as airy as possible so that the roots can not stagnate by excess water.

The low temperature of the LED, allow us a more discreet in the eyes of thermal cameras culture, another point in its favor. But we must be careful with the temperature of the pot and the earth, which with high pressure sodium was not necessary, in cases of low temperatures, although they have heating systems sometimes be useful to use blankets thermal heating.
