A light emitting diode better known as LED is a semiconductor light. These devices are used for lighting. These LEDs have many advantages such as low consumption of energy, small size, long life, immense durability, and dependability.

The advancement of science has permitted the production of cheap bright LED Grow Lights, which emit the wavelength of light similar to chlorophyll absorption limit. These are also called LED growing lights which are helpful for indoor plant growers. The indoor…

As we know, light is essential for most of plants' photosynthesis. Without it, plants could not make food. But light can also be too intense, too hot, or last too long for growing healthy plants. In general, more light seems to be better. Plant growth accelerates with abundant light because more of the plant's leaves have exposure; which means more photosynthesis.

One grower did an experiment two years before, he left two identical planters in the greenhouse for the winter. One was placed…

Workplace illumination is a normal requirement for greenhouses, and flower growers need to be aware that low light intensities of light can modify plant development (e.g. flowering, dormancy). The use of supplemental lighting is an issue with respect to "light pollution". Supplemental lighting-LED grow light is used for several purposes within greenhouse systems:

LEDs offer various advantages over other types of lights. LEDs are very efficient at producing great amounts of light without producing too much heat as compared to other lights, and the light in a led can be dimmed easily. In addition, LEDs are inexpensive, which is an advantage for those people who produce their own plant at home.

Compared to other sources of grow lights, LEDs can be more attractive for indoor plant growers, since they turn almost all electricity consumed into radiation…

Grow light is a technique in which lights are used to provide light similar to that produced by the sun. Grow lights are most commonly used in indoor settings or in places where light is scarce for plants to grow. Grow lights are used to provide enough amounts of light energy to plants to promote the process of photosynthesis. The outdoor conditions are replicated in an indoor setting by varying the luminosity of lights and their light spectrum.

The light of the Sun is used by plants to…

It is the time of year where outdoor gardens seem to flourish the most. But what about your indoor gardens? You have to optimize the environment in a way that allows for them to have natural conditions, with a little extra push in the right directions. In assistance to having the right kinds of nutrients, you need to provide your plants with the appropriate amounts of lights. This all depends on the plants and the process that you prefer, but there are lights that have been proven to give off… Continue

The best led grow light full spectrum vegetable light can save lots of energy for you. An LED light uses a lot less power than other light bulb designs, such as incandescent bulbs and Cree light bulbs. Lights can also waste a lot of energy depending on how far they are from the plants which they are serving for. A really great light will be designed so you can change its height to suit the current size of your plants and to continue serving them well as they grow. The way you won't have to pour… Continue

In the desert southwest, cold weather usually arrives around Thanksgiving, with the first hard freeze occurring either late November, or in some cases, after Christmas. If you have frost tender plants, it pays to be prepared before that first freeze hits.

If you’ve been reading my articles about “right plant; right spot” and have paid attention by purchasing cold tolerant species, then you probably don’t have to worry. For the Tucson area, look for plants hardy to at least 15 degrees. For…

If you took the plunge and planted some seeds after reading the article on growing safe food at home, you probably have some nice seedlings by now. You can see the ones here, planted a few days after Mother’s Day. The peppers and zucchini did not come up and will have to be replanted, but the others came up one variety at a time until they all appeared. Soon they’ll be ready for transplanting to pots.

The flat-panel multicolored…

Cycling: LEDs are ideal for uses subject to frequent on-off cycling, unlike fluorescent lamps that fail faster when cycled often, or HID lamps that require a long time before restarting

Slow failure: LEDs mostly fail by dimming over time, rather than the abrupt failure of incandescent bulbs. No expensive bulbs to replace - Zero maintenance costs.

Lifetime: LEDs can have a relatively long useful life. One report estimates 35,000 to 50,000 hours of useful life, though time to…
