Light-Seeds

Product Information

Ceramic discharge metal halide – CDM / CMH grow lights, including separate lamps, reflectors and ballasts Before getting a plant or starting seeds, determine the quality and hours of natural light in your space. Then choose plants with light requirements that match your indoor environment.

This model provides effective lighting for growing indoor plants and starting seedlings, in a well-designed stand that doesn’t take up too much room. It’s ideal for those who are just getting started with indoor gardening. Sow in spring or autumn. Lightly cover the seeds with compost. Require a period of cold, moist stratification. Germination can take up to one year at 10–15°c Generally a mid-green colouration to the foliage indicates the plants are receiving the correct amount of light. However, there are a number of problems that can be encountered and rectified. Too much light: Day-neutral plants are insensitive to day length differences for flowering and include indoor plants such as flowering maple (Abutilon), Crossandra, and gerbera daisies. Soak seeds in warm water for 24 hours before sowing, then cover with 5mm compost. Germination can be erratic. Germination within 90 days at 15–20°cTo find out how many photons are emitted by your grow light per second, find out what its photosynthetic photon flux (PPF) is. It’ll give you a micromole reading (µmol/s). Just 1 µmol is equivalent to 602 quadrillion photons! What are supplemental grow lights for plants? If your hydroponic lights are too intense for your tent, you can experience heat problems. If they aren’t intense enough for your tent, your overall yield will be low. Direct sow where they are to grow from early spring in any well-drained soil. Sow seeds thinly over the soil, lightly covering. Germination in 30 days at 15–20°c For those with a little more to spend on their grow lights, the VIPARSPECTRA Pro Series P1000 LED Grow Light is worth considering. This grow light has a coverage area of 75 x 75cm, yet it’s the quality and safety that put this grow light up there with the very best. Extra features include a dimmer knob which can be used to tailor the brightness according to what you’re growing. The height of the grow lamp can also be easily adjusted.

The fixture interior has a mirrored aluminum finish, and two energy efficient, high output, 6400K T5 fluorescent bulbs (4,000 lumens) give complete, full spectrum coverage. In terms of efficiency LEDs beat every other type of grow light, hands down: put simply, you get a greater light output from an LED grow light for every watt of electricity spent. Fixtures like the Omega Infinity LED grow light produce a ground-breaking 3.0 μmol per watt! Fully adjustable on/off timer and handy “vacation mode” allow your plants to thrive while you are traveling Green– Green is primarily reflected, but small amounts are retained and contribute to energy conversion. With a full spectrum of lights, this grow light can be used at every stage of the growth cycle. There’s 600nm of red light, IR, plus 3000K and 5000K of white light spectrum. Your plants will be supported at all stages from veg to flower.Foot-candle is the amount of light received by a 1-square-foot surface located one foot away from a light source equal to one candle. It’s not used as frequently though you may find this measure in older reference books. A variety of specialized electric bulbs have been developed for indoor growing. The most common ones are:
