Lighting is one of the most important aspects of growing a crop, and just as you would spend money and time to upkeep a car to ensure it runs properly, a teeb pom kev zoo needs to also be maintained for you to get the most out of it. Grow lights need to be cleaned, re-lamped, and tested to ensure they are still working well. If not, you can run into problems such as slowed crop growth, increased crop cycles, and overall loss in crop productivity, which can lead to lost profits.
Hauv kev tshaj tawm blog tsis ntev los no, James Grouzos ntawm PL Light Systems tshuaj xyuas 10 txoj hauv kev kom koj cov luminaires khaws cia kom koj txuas ntxiv kom muaj qhov zoo tshaj plaws PAR cov zis thaum ua kom cov qoob loo siab thiab cov txiaj ntsig siab.
Keep a re-lamping schedule. Lamps used in horticultural lighting do not burn out like household lamps and need to be replaced after so many hours of use. Light output diminishes after every 1,000 hours of use with HPS lamps. Grouzos recommends re-lamping after 10,000 hours of use, which may be anywhere from two to five years depending on how often you use your lights. It is important to note that every 1 percent loss in light equals to a 1 percent percent loss in production, so after 10,000 hours of use, your light output has diminished by 7-8 percent . Decreased lamp output is even more pronounced in sole source indoor applications, where there is no natural sunlight to offset the associated depreciation in light.
Tshawb xyuas koj lub teeb pom kev zoo siv lub ntsuas hluav taws xob kom pom tias lub teeb koj tau txais tiag tiag npaum li cas. Qhov no tuaj yeem ua tiav tom qab ob mus rau peb xyoos ntawm kev siv luminaire. Grouzos pom zoo kom siv quantum{0}}sensor (PAR-sensor) rau kev ntsuas. Txhawm rau kom tau txais kev ntsuas, sawv ntsug hauv nruab nrab ntawm plaub lub luminaires, thiab ntsuas qhov ntsuas ntawm cov qoob loo. Nco ntsoov yog tias muaj qhov ntxoov ntxoo, khoom, lossis ib yam dab tsi uas cuam tshuam nrog kev nyeem ntawv. Ib yam yuav tsum paub txog yog kom paub tseeb tias koj lub teeb ntsuas ntsuas tau ntsuas. Ib yam li lwm yam khoom siv (pH ntsuas pH, piv txwv li), lub teeb ntsuas hluav taws xob kuj yuav tsum tau ntsuas kom ntseeg tau tias kev nyeem ntawv raug. Xa mus rau koj phau ntawv qhia lub teeb sensor yuav ua li cas calibrate.
Look for consistency in your lighting. Do all the lamps look to be the same in light output when you look up at them, or do some look dimmer than others? If so, this may mean that you need to re-lamp. Having uneven light output will affect growth and yields.
