‌Common mistakes and misunderstandings to avoid when using LED grow lights to grow plants include the following:

‌Don’t keep the lights on 24 hours a day: 

Plants also need to rest, and long periods of light will interfere with their growth cycle. Generally speaking, LED grow lights should not be used for more than 16 hours, and it is best to control the distance within 0.5m-1m to ensure that the plants have enough time to breathe and repair.

‌Don’t use the same irradiation distance and intensity for all plants: 

Different plants have different requirements for light, so the irradiation distance and intensity need to be adjusted according to the plant species and growth stage. For example, weaker light is required during the germination and seedling stage, while stronger light is required during the flowering and fruiting stage.

‌Higher power is not better:

 Although high-power LED grow lights may provide more light energy, not all plants require high-power light. Generally, a 300W LED grow light can meet the growth needs of most plants without the need to use higher-power lamps.

‌Cold light sources can also burn plants:

 Although LED grow lights are called cold light sources, they still generate heat. When irradiating at close range, especially in the seedling stage of plants, low-power LED lights should be used to avoid heat damage to plants.

‌Don't blindly pursue brands and prices‌:

It is very important to choose an LED grow light that suits your needs. Although the quality of lamps from big brands is guaranteed, not all high-priced products are suitable for the growth needs of all plants. It is recommended to choose cost-effective products based on your actual needs.

By avoiding these common mistakes and misunderstandings, you can better use LED grow lights to promote plant growth and improve planting efficiency.
