Angels for The Plants in Winter



We always worried about the plant growth in winter. But with led grow lights, it can extend the effective illumination time. Whether in the evening or at night, it can effectively and scientifically control the needs of light for the plants, and not affected by any environmental changes. We can also enjoy the colorful world in winter with such angels. Now, I will tell you the advantages about the led grow lights for indoor gardening.


Throughout the seed germination process, it's essential that different kinds of seeds should take advantage of the application of the suitable grow light. Seeds such as lettuce, mullein and evening primrose should have adequate light in order to germinate properly. Once they are planted through organic gardening, they depend on the natural light. Once they are grown indoors, gardeners should apply the proper quantity of light that they need. This is where LED grow light can serve its purpose. It does not only offer the bright light but also helps maintain cooler soil and air temperature for germination to take place particularly in the case of lettuce. It doesn't produce any heat that could be dangerous in the growth of hydroponic plants. With this, you have easier control of the soil and air temperature in order to accomplish the best germination rate for your seeds. Also, there is no need for fans and vents which are commonly used with other kinds of grow lights.

LED grow lighting is becoming popular with indoor gardening use due to the production of a bright light. Compared to other regularly used grow lights such as high pressure sodium (HPS) lights, it puts out a more intense light than the typical 400 watt HPS bulb. This is important in order that seeds will receive the appropriate bright light while they are growing. Without this bright light, they will have a weak development resulting to spindly stems as they struggle to reach the only little light available in the growing environment.

In order for your hydroponic plants to grow properly using LED grow light, it is important that you have a clear understanding of the fundamentals in color temperature and how every color applies to plant growth stages. Color temperatures are measured in Kelvins (K). Red and orange colors have lower temperatures ranging from 2200-2300K but are observed as warm colors. They are required for flower and fruit development. Blue color with temperature that ranges between 6000-6500K is seen as cool colors and is best suited for vegetative growth. What you will need is a higher color temperature for your seedlings while lower color temperature is ideal for the mature plants so they are able to generate flowers and fruits for food production.


LED grow light helps you save money because there is no wasted light spectrum such as green light. It utilizes much less power than other grow lights while making much less pollution as well. It's an effective grow light since it's tough with a longer life span of 80,000 or more useful hours.


They are the way of the future, let's move relatively close to the "frontier".

  1. It was amazing. When I was on a bussiness trip to Harbin in a freezing winter, I can't believe that the small plants can survive in this cold weather from my copperative partner there. Therefore, it caught my eyes at that moment.
