The image below shows the typical wavelengths of everyday lights that you would be familiar with. In comparison, this image shows the ideal wavelenths required for plants growth. As you can see plants primarily require blue and red light between the 400-500 and 600-700nm wavelengths. Other por... -
How do I position the grow light and use its settings?
Ensure the light stays at least 10cm from any leaves (so as to not burn the leaves). Adjust the timer to suit your plant's needs 12hrs for plants in spaces with low light levels 9hrs for spaces which receive indirect natural light, 3hrs for plants in high natural light environments). Also conside... -

Grow lights are different to normal household light bulbs, they provide light to plants that is in a different wavelength than the light which we can see (or the visible light spectrum). To understand grow light measurement you first need to know the difference between the main measurements: Lum... -
