How many 1000 watt LED plant lights do you need for your plants?

Choosing how many LED plant lights you need is a question that many novice growers may encounter when starting out. This is because there are a number of factors that affect this, the two main factors being the size of the grow space and the light preference of the plants.

Find out how many 1000 watt LED plant lights you need for the light your plants require. You will need to consider two important factors - the size of the growing space and the light preference of your plants.

The size of the growing space is the key to determining how many 1000 watt plant lights you can install, if you are growing a large area then you will definitely need more 1000 watt LED plant lights to accommodate it, maximising the installation will require you to measure the area of the growing space. Multiply the length by the width to find out the square metres of planting area. You can then make the right choice in terms of how much power to provide per square metre, i.e. how many 1000 watt LED plant lights to install per square metre. This will distribute each light evenly so that the outer edges will receive a strong light, making the light more even and more effective for plant growth.

The arrangement of the spacing between each LED plant light is mainly based on the light intensity to decide, in addition to consider the installation height, after a comprehensive calculation to arrive at the distribution of the distance between each LED plant light, in order to ensure that the uniformity of the light of a large area of plant growing.

The degree of light-loving plants decide how many 1000 watt LED plant lights are needed to make up the light, if the plant is more light-loving plants,rolling bench like marijuana crops, you need to install more than one 1000 watt LED plant lights to make up the light, not only to ensure the uniformity of light, but also to ensure that the light intensity is sufficient, more than one 1000 watt LED plant lights to make up the light, you can let some of the light to overlap, light coverage is stronger.

Short light plants: refers to the plants that will flower only when the light time is less than a certain value according to the photoperiod with regularity, the short light time can meet the growth requirements of such plants, if planted outdoors generally do not need LED plant lights to make up the light.

Common short-light plants are: soybean, petunia, chrysanthemum, tobacco and so on.

Intermediate light plants: these plants on the light time requirements are not very strict, but the use of LED plant lights can be appropriate to shorten its growth cycle. This type of plant can be matched with LED plant lights to supplement the light, will bring the yield of lifting life and early market.

Common intermediate plants are: cucumber, dandelion, four season beans, tomatoes and so on.

Long light plants: refers to the light time requirements of longer plants, is light-loving plants, light time to reach the plant photoperiod to meet the light, the plant will blossom and sit fruit, otherwise it will only carry out ordinary growth, will not bring a better harvest, the light time is not enough will have a serious impact, but also very much in need of LED plant lights aligned with the replenishment of light plants.

Common long sunlight plants are: anemone, wheat, spinach, radish and so on.

The use of 1000 watt LED plant light fill light to know the various plants need light time, understand the plant's photoperiod required light, make adjustments to the growth of plants.

If you do not provide enough light to your plants, they will struggle to grow. This can lead to stunted and ineffective plants. Not to mention, you simply won't get the results you want from it.

What you need to be aware of when using 1000 watt LED plant lights

Do LED plant lights generate heat? No electronic product is immune to generating heat. In contrast to HID lights, 1000 Watt LED Plant Grow Lights do not generate heat in the form of infrared radiation per se, but rather heat is generated by the fixture itself, with the higher power generating more heat.

How to reduce the heat of 1000 watt LED plant lights

There are two main ways: active cooling and passive cooling.

Active cooling: the most common way is to install a fan. When there is not enough airflow, you may need to consider installing a fan around the 1000 Watt LED Plant Light to get more airflow to create a cooler environment.

Passive cooling: passive is the cooling itself. That is, the 1000 watt LED plant light itself is designed with high thermal conductivity materials and housing cooling.

Safety.

The blue light of the 1000 watt LED plant light is as harmful to human eyes as other electronic products, this aspect needs attention, so you usually need to bring anti-blue light goggles to protect your eyes.

The hazards of blue light:

1, blue light will aggravate retinal macular disease;

2, blue light can lead to fundus damage after cataract surgery;

3, blue light can trigger blurred vision, leading to visual fatigue;

4, blue light can cause glare;

5, blue light can inhibit the secretion of melatonin, disturb sleep.

1000W LED plant light tips:

1、 Lighting distance

The light distance of the LED plant light is very important, you have to point the whole for different plants at different stages, and you also have to unify the distance, so that the uniformity of the light is a little stronger, if the distance is not well controlled, there is a possibility that it will hurt the growth of the plant. The general recommendation is that the germination stage distance: 60 cm, seedling stage distance: 75 cm, growth stage distance: 45 cm, flowering stage distance: 30 cm.

2、Lighting time

The lighting time of LED plant lights is mainly based on plants,dry rack cannabis which are divided into two kinds, positive plants and negative plants. Positive plants are more light-loving, fill the light when the lighting time can be a little longer, usually 18/6 (on/off) or 20/4 (on/off). Normal lighting time for negative plants, usually 12/12 (on/off).

3, dimming level

The dimming of LED plant lights can make plants grow better at each stage, generally germination: 30%; seedling: 50%-75%; growth: 75%-100%; flowering: 100%. Giving plants the best growth.

If you don't know how many 1000 watt LED plant lights you need, you can calculate and choose according to the size of the planting space and the light preference of the plants, or contact professional technicians to answer your questions.
