Every cottager knows how important role in the development of the seedling or growing indoor flowers is light. For many cultures the lack of sunlight is detrimental. But where to get gentle warmth of the sun in the cold days of spring, when the snow still lies and rages strong wind?
Additional lighting at this time provides a LED light for plants. It is this source of light is a lifesaver for those crops that are planted in the spring in greenhouses and in winter on the window sills in the apartments. But the right choice fitolampy – a very important point, which should be given maximum attention. There are several types of lighting for seedlings. Among them are those that apply generally not recommended. There are those who are the real saviors of gardeners.
Very important when buying a light source to choose the one that contains the necessary spectrum of radiation. Many lighting devices do not give the energy of sunlight, and emit only visible to humans spectrum.
We All know that any tree or flower need a UV light. But for the skin and the human eye this lighting is bad. Manufacturers are trying to create LED lamps for plants, which would be most useful to plants, but harmless to humans.
Also helpful and warm (yellow or orange) light. It helps the crops to grow properly, but and promotes rapid flowering. If you notice that the flowers are formed irregularly, it is this light spectrum is not enough for your seedlings.
But a large amount of heat, on the contrary, harm the plants. No heating and burning lamps to use during this period is not necessary. If you use light sources that give warmth, don't forget about cooling. Turn off lamp for a while to let the plants rest. You can also use special fans. But the cultivation of the seedlings thus it will cost "a pretty penny".
By the Way, experts believe that crops do not need round-the-clock lighting. It will be enough to turn the light source on the seedlings at the seven to eight hours a day.
Many novice gardeners think that the ordinary incandescent lamp suspended over a tub of seedlings, would be sufficient. This is absolutely the wrong approach. It turns out that incandescent bulbs do not provide a complete radiation spectrum required for normal plant development. There are, of course, full spectrum lamps, but they are quite expensive, and investing in them quite beneficial.
Fluorescent or energy saving light bulbs do not match. Their range for a person of unusual and even harmful. And the luminous flux will not allow to develop harmoniously cultures.
In a separate category gardeners bulbs emit a special light-emitting diode (LED). Lamps for the plants gardeners call the assistants and that they trust their spring seedlings.
For the organization of lighting of houseplants and spring seedlings led lamp is the most optimal solution. It is not only for growing small “portions” seedlings on a home window sill, but its production in large industrial greenhouses and nurseries.
If, for example, fluorescent bulbs provide a lot of heat, but a small amount of the desired light, LED lamp for plants – and correct a full range of radiation, good luminous efficiency, and natural for cultures light. For humans, however, such coverage would be more than unusual. It's purple-pink, unpleasant to the eye. But for seedlings can easily replace the sun. And look at the seedlings, to admire its development and growth in those moments when the lighting device is turned off.
All indicators the led bulbs are the most useful. Let stand they are much more expensive than some other light sources, but pay for itself very quickly. Many growers say that one device is about ten years or more. Beneficial, right?
To Construct hastily fitolamp can any gardener-gardener. It does not take much time and does not require large financial investments. All you need can be found in any hardware store.
To make a LED light for plants with your own hands, you will need regular profile, several kinds of LEDs (red, white, blue light), nut (usually used for linoleum), the stabilizer of the electric current, wire, glue. Also very useful for soldering and, in fact, the ability to use it.
No Matter what you choose: buy in store or make your own hands LED lamp for plants. Reviews on led light for cultures are always positive, no matter what production it was. According to growers, such light sources are of great help for those who want to get strong seedlings.
When using a backlight seedlings never stretches, and will develop evenly. Also, many reviews noted that such auxiliary lights serve for many years. It is very economical and profitable investment of its own funds. Someone appreciate the savings, others – ease of operation and long service life. But all the reviews agree on one thing – it is a necessary and useful thing, which should be in the Arsenal of any vacationer.
