Light (PAR) – Temperature – Air (CO2) In this article we will talk about the optimal conditions for your growing set up, to get the best growth and maximum yield. Plants of course need adequate water and nutrients to grow healthy, but photosynthesis which is the driver of the plant growth, will be largely determined by the amount of light the plant receives, the amount of CO2, and the temperature of the environment which will determine the rate that the photosynthesis occurs. The data and t...
Getting more out of self-generated energy
Getting more out of self-generated energy
Solar panels are a welcome source of energy for every family in these difficult times of energy crisis. However, there is a caveat to be made about the optimal consumption of your generated power.
Did you know that you often use less than half of your generated power effectively?
That is why we use the power from solar panels as much as possible during the day. We turn on appliances that use a lot of power, such as the washing machine or...
Influence of wavelengths on plants
The influence of wavelengths on plantsLight is a type of electromagnetic radiation emitted by the sun. This radiation reaches the earth in the form of waves. The waves are filtered by the atmosphere and thus reach the earth as global radiation. The global radiation can be roughly divided into ultraviolet (UV), the part used by plants (PAR), infrared (NIR) and long wave thermal radiation (FIR). Ultraviolet radiation has a short to very short wavelength, while infrared radiation has a much longer ...
Useful units to measure grow lights
Useful Units of Measurement in Plant Lighting What is light? Light is a term that usually refers to the part of the solar radiation that is visible to the human eye. The human eye only perceives a small part of the full solar spectrum. Even several frequencies of the so-called electromagnetic spectrum do not reach the surface of the earth. In addition to the observable light, the electromagnetic spectrum contains gamma, X and UV rays, infrared and radio waves. The light that is also observab...
5 common mistakes using Led grow lights
Standard HID lamps are almost a thing of the past, because everyone is busy upgrading the grow lighting to LED. The LED grow lights have undoubtedly gained a foothold and will not unload the roll. The advantages are simply too great: such as lower electricity costs, perfect color spectrum for excellent yield and long service life. Still, you should avoid some common mistakes with your LED setup to get the most out of your plants.
