Why LED Grow Light Can Shorten the Growth Cycle of Plants

Plant growth cycle is a phenomenon that causes most concern.because it is related to how often we can harvest for some time. especially those crops that growth cycle is short deserve further investigation. It has been the subject of many plant researchers even some farmers . through adjusting the factors of effecting plants’ life cycle, farmer can maximize their yield and make their crops appear on the market earlier.

In the past , plants grew in nature . most  plants have formed their own unique growth cycle genes. however, we all know the growth  potential of most crops has not been fully excavated  because of various natural uncontrollable factors. the advent LED grow light  make growing indoor become possible . in this case , all kinds of growing conditions can be completely controlled artificially even optimize. using LED grow lights is new way to activate the growth of the plant cells and then shorten the growth cycle of plants 

light quality, light intensity and illumination time determine the growth cycle of plants.

illumination time 

like human beings, plants , besides work ,also need rest .so when using LED grow lights to supplement light for plants indoor, it is necessary to control the illumination time. generally  It is suggested that the lighting time of plants should be controlled between 12 and 16 hours. certainly if you have surely known some plants' optimal lighting time ,just do it . leaving enough time for rest can ensure the growing efficiency of plants every day.  think about it , your growing plants develop in a best growing efficiency every day  .surely they will mature earlier and then you can sale what no-one else had at that time.

light quality

 lighting quality,this influence factor also can be called lighting spectrum . light quality plays a significant role in each growing stages of plants . for example , fruiting plants in flowering phase need plenty of red light . if the supplied red light is not enough , the fruiting rate of plants will be influenced and  yield can not reach an ideal effect even if the light intensity consists of other lights has been up to an very high level . on the contrary , if we can provide suitable light that made up of all kinds of light in a appropriate ratio based on the photon need of the plants,the result will be completely different.offering proper light quality not only can shorten growth cycle of plants ,but also can improve the quality and quantity of plant production . that is why led grow light come into being and the reason why led  grow lights are more popular than traditional grow lights .

in the field of led grow light , there are red light LEDs , blue light LEDs, white light LEDs, and full spectrum LEDs in the market now . almost all led grow lights use two or more of these LEDs. countless tests show that plant needs most is red and blue light. white light LEDs is mainly for replenishing the spectral composition in order to meet other requirement of plants. full spectrum LEDs is a new type of LEDs covering from red light to violet light in different proportion. light quality has a remarkable influence on allure of the callus and organ differentiation . when the plants blossom red light plays an important role .

light  intensity

When lighting time and light quality have realized basic and reasonable requirement, it's time to consider another impact factor-light intensity. it is necessary to control the light intensity. Study shows that light intensity not only has an very important influence on plant cell proliferation and organ differentiation but also plays a key role in the growth of plants. different light intensity affects all growth stages of plants, in the phase of germination and seeding, plants don't adapt to strong light intensity. it is good for growers to provide light intensity that just satisfy the need of initial plant .with the growth of the plants, the light intensity had better increase appropriately . 

because while the light intensity don't reach the demand , the energy plant photosynthesis produce can not support the respiration . it is impossible for plants to thrive. while light intensity exceed the demand and surpass light saturation point, it will lead to a waste of electricity and it is completely unnecessary. so keeping the light intensity around the light saturation point would be the most ideal status. since this can let plants grow healthily with the fastest speed, thereby shortening the growth cycle of plants .

conclusion 

Therefore, the decisive factors of plant growth cycle regarding led grow light can be clearly known by the following formula:

plant growth cycle impact factors = light quality+light intensity+illumination time 

LED grow light ,  is the exactly lighting equipment that make these three influence factors under control .  so we can shorten or adjust the plant growth cycle by select appropriate lighting product.
