Application Guide for Various Plant Growth Stages
Here is a guide for using an LED grow light for different stages of plant growth: seed starting, seedlings, and growing vegetables.
Seed Starting:
- Height: 14-16 inches (35-40cm)
- Coverage: 2×1.3 feet (60x40cm)
- Brightness: 30%-40%
- Cost: 20W-25W
Seedlings:
- Height: 16-18 inches (40-45cm)
- Coverage: 2.4×1.6 feet (72x48cm)
- Brightness: 40%-50%
- Cost: 25W-30W
Vegetables:
- Height: 16-18 inches (40-45cm)
- Coverage: 2.4×1.6 feet (72x48cm)
- Brightness: 40%-50%
- Cost: 25W-30W
Each stage has specific requirements for optimal growth, and the table provides a quick reference for these requirements. The grow light itself appears to be adjustable in terms of height and brightness, making it versatile for different plant growth phases. The images above the table show the plants thriving under the artificial light at different growth stages, demonstrating the effectiveness of the light settings provided in the guide.
LED Grow Light Stages: Cloning, Growing, and Blooming
- Clone Stage:
- Height: 14-16 inches (35-40cm)
- Coverage: 2.4×1.6 feet (72x48cm)
