LED GROW MAGAZINE

               With the Optic 6 vs Optic 8+ comparison we take the first steps towards diving in and figuring out which light would be better for your Garden. Here we are looking at some of the fundamental differences between the two lights and we will continue to share information like this to help you decide what is the best choice for you. Watch the Video below to get Started!                                                            Conclusion: Optic 6 gives you a better re...

Growing chili plants using light emitting diodes (LED) offers several advantages to traditionally outdoor growing. Growing chilies requires a LED that has a broad-spectrum range of color that is able to accommodate the plant throughout all stages of growth. From germination and early growth stages, to flowering and fruit production, the spectrum of light emitted by Greenception LED GROW lights will allow you to grow the healthiest chilli plants possible. LED bulbs that include UV, blue, red, and...

LED technology, based on the emission of high-performance, low-consumption light, has revolutionised indoor cultivation. In the United States there have been subsidies and grants issued for their installation, and NASA has even performed tests to use this type of lighting to grow vegetables and plants in space. The latest advances in this technology augur a brilliant future. Cannabis growers, however, have not reached a consensus with regard to its advantages. 29/01/17 LED technology has bee...

LEDs found to increase yields in wide range of plants Research found that 32 days after they were planted and nourished under LED light, plants showed a 45 percent increase in height and a 28 percent increase in weight. Improvements in weight, morphology, flowering, root development and flavour have been spotted in plants grown under supplemental LED lights in greenhouses. Tomato plants have been found to show a 45 per cent increase in height and weight when cultiv...

LEDs offer unprecedented opportunities to manipulate wavelength, pulse duration and spectral output in order to modify the structural and chemical characteristics of plants The unique properties of LED lighting are leading to a revolution in horticulture and the technology is rapidly replacing traditional sources such as high-pressure sodium and metal halide.  The ability to tune the output of LED lighting is changing fundamentally how we grow plants. Because LEDs offer unpr...

Alexander Wilm of Osram Opto Semiconductors explains how LEDs – and scientific advances – are completely changing the way we grow plants. In the most basic sense, light is crucial for most living things residing above deep sea level. Plants use light to develop by a process of photosynthesis, where CO2 is converted into carbohydrate in the chloroplasts of the plant cells. It is also possible to enable photosynthesis using artificial light, and control the development, shape, and flowering perio...
