How can you really make good use of LED plant grow lights as a commercial grower, do you really understand?

As everyone knows, the most important optical parameter of grow lights is PPFD. It represents how much optical energy the plant receives, and then converts the light energy captured by photosynthesis into carbohydrates. So how to make plants receive the most of the light energy emitted by grow lights becomes particularly important, but this is precisely the lighting of all plants on the market. What has been overlooked in all cases.

No fundamental solution to this problem is to blindly increase the power or increase the light efficiency of grow lights, or to solve this problem by reducing the angle. But today, we have to say here that these are not the best  lighting solutions, we need do it better.

In order to make the plant grow in the highest PPFD light environment.

Increasing the power of grow lights, increasing the luminous efficiency of grow lights, reducing the luminaire angle of grow lights and increasing the number of grow lights, which need to increase total investment cost or total electricity cost.

We have studied  the current mainstream HIO fluorescent lamps, HPS high pressure sodium lamps, CMH ceramic metal halide lamps and other plant grow lights, and then in-depth analysis of the current market 6&8&10 piece of LED grow lights, they are all doing simple 1:1 instead of HPS, did not really play the advantages of LED plant lighting solutions.

In fact, we can do more.

In grow tent, we used the scientific research level optical radiation standard test instrument of Li-Cor company of America to carry out practical tests. The data showed that the distance from the plant to the grow light’s luminous surface is inversely proportional to the size of PPFD, the farther away the distance is, the smaller the PPFD is, and the higher the loss rate of light energy in the space. If the distance between the plant and the lamp reaches 24 “, the PPFD maintenance rate is reduced to about 50% which means that about 50% of the light energy is lost in the space species. In other words, the utilization rate of the grow light is only half. If the distance is longer, the utilization rate of the lamp is lower. It should be noted that if there is no reflective film in the surrounding environment of plant factories and greenhouses, PPFD will decline faster and the utilization rate will be lower.

The attenuation data of PPFD in space is amazing. It is a problem faced by the industry. Such a plant lighting scheme will bring serious energy waste, increase the cost in commercial cultivation, and reduce the profit and return rate. From the point of view of energy saving, this problem is urgent to be solved.

Our team spent two years trying to solve this problem.In order to avoid the light energy of plant lighting lamps and lanterns no longer be wasted by space, but also to design a better plant lighting planting solution, we have done three things.

The first thing:

since we can’t encourage the growth of plants, we can make the lamps and lanterns flexibly close to the plants, improve the utilization rate of optical energy by about 30%, and provide the best PPFD to ensure the growth of plants and improve the quality of plants. If the original distance used by growers is longer than 24 “, the utilization rate of light energy will be increased by 50% or even more。

The second thing:

From “plant baby” to bloom, we provide special optical “soft food” for”“plant baby ”to care for the growth of plant baby, and then provide “high energy optical meal” with sufficient energy for big girls who are about to “bloom”. It can effectively shorten the growth cycle and plant quality of plant development.

The third thing:

we put the “first thing” and “second thing” together to make a one-stop solution. Starting from the “plant baby” entering the planting basin, there is no need to move again and again, so as to avoid the “heavy traffic and the lack of people”, and directly cultivate the “young women growing up in the neighborhood”.

The fourth thing:

When we finished the third task, we found that we could save a lot of space for cultivating baby plants and use it in one-stop planting, which greatly improved the space utilization rate of planting sites

SPF is One-stop solution for canabis commercial cultivation,

1.Do not need move again and again.Good labor-saving.

2.Make every bit of light sunshine for plant.Save the light enerage and electricity.

3.Save the time.Time is money.Special spectrum  for veg&bloom,make the canabis grow faster than before.

4.Improve the quality,Special spectrum  for veg&bloom,make the canabis more valuable.

After finishing the above four tasks, the utilization rate of light energy and planting space has been greatly improved, the effect is remarkable, the output value is greatly increased, the comprehensive cost is greatly reduced, and the growers get more benefits.
