The ideal spectrum of growth will largely depend on your application and the goals you want to achieve. So, an optimum spectrum does not really exist, because various plants and cultivars can have different responses to different wavelengths. We have seen this in crops such as cannabis and roses, where growing different species under the same wavelengths and environmental conditions resulted in very different growth responses. The best way to find out how your plant will perform, is to set up a trial area to test how different species will respond.
Since growth characteristics can be manipulated by various spectrums of light, you need to know what growth characteristics are most important to you. Since most growers want to ultimately achieve greater yields and quality, tshwj xeeb lub teeb spectrum tsis tas yuav tsum tau needed. The spectrum of our HortiLED Top RW(MB), has been designed rau optimized yields and increased plant mass hauv kev siv tsev cog khoom. The HortiLED Top Dlub teeb spectrum, is specially designed for sole source, sab hauv applications―to be used throughout all stages of the growth cycle, as plants can take the wavelengths they need as they need them.
Tej zaum koj yuav tau nug yog tias koj xav tau kom muaj cov spectrums sib txawv rau ntau theem ntawm kev loj hlob, xws li kev cog qoob loo tiv thaiv paj ntau lawm. Unlike, HID luminaires, where we would typically recommend CMH (ceramic metal halide) or MH (metal halide) luminaires for vegetative and HPS (high pressure sodium) luminaires rau paj cycles, you do not necessarily need two different spectrums when it comes to LEDs. What is more important during these stages, is light duration (such as photoperiod to elicit certain responses), and light intensity. As plants move from propagation to vegetative to flowering, light intensity should be increased nyob rau hauv thiaj li yuav achieve maximum yields, quality and productivity, as light intensity is highly correlated to yields and overall quality.
Tshem tawm:
LED luminaires should deliver a light quality optimized for cog kev loj hlob thiab yields―while still allowing for flexibility of crop hom thiab kev loj hlob cycles, and a comfortable working environment. Feem ntau, if you are in a greenhouse, you should be using LED luminaires nrog ib optimized red/blue spectrum, since they are most efficient at converting electricity into useable light for plants. If you are in a sole source indoor grow, a broad spectrum LED luminaire, uas yog optimized rau tag nrho cov theem ntawm cov nroj tsuag kev loj hlob thiab ua rau ib tug zoo heev chaw ua hauj lwm rau cov neeg ua hauj lwm, like our light HortiLED Top Daylight.
