General steps to choose a good plant light

In order to choose a suitable plant light, you usually need to go through 4 steps.

● 1. Ask yourself three questions to clarify your lighting needs.

● 2. Make a simple estimate to roughly understand what performance products you want to buy to prevent the purchased lights from having excessive or insufficient performance and wasting money.

● 3. Compare prices from three different stores and look at the parameters. Choose several alternative products with performance that suits you to avoid pitfalls.

● 4. Compare prices and choose products with high cost performance and that can better meet your needs.

Red and blue light can promote growth under conditions with appropriate light intensity. Both red and blue light can participate in photosynthesis and help plants synthesize organic matter. But in another dimension: growth regulation, the function of blue light is even more significant. Blue light can participate in regulating the phototropism of plants, stem growth, and establishment of plant morphology. Generally, in an environment with higher blue light, the plant shape will be shorter and stockier. In addition, blue light is also involved in regulating the opening and closing of stomata in leaves. Therefore, it cannot be simply understood that red light promotes growth and blue light inhibits growth. It is unreasonable to use light intensity (light intensity + spectrum) to evaluate the function of monochromatic light apart from the purpose of light use (vegetative growth? Reproductive growth? Plant shape adjustment? Plant color adjustment?).
