Best Medicinal Plants Grow Light for Beginners

Whether you’re starting with growing plants indoors or you’ve used grow lights before, LED grow light is something that could help you.
LEDs are rapidly becoming the most popular grow light in the industry. The benefits of LEDs are better energy efficiency, longer life-time, less heat output, and control over the spectrum. Recently they have started to become much more affordable as well.
We’ve compiled this article for people at home, so you’ll have a basic understanding of greenhouse led grow lights for plants at home. If you’re a commercial grower you might like to check out our professional resources.

1: What are LEDs?

Takeaways:

1.LEDs are Light Emitting Diodes which are electrical components that emit light. They can vary in size, color, and intensity. ECO Farm grow light use samsung diode led grow lights, possessing the highest quality between all LED grow lights.
2.Solid-state lighting (SSL) is another name for LED lighting.
3.LED lighting can save growers around 50% on lighting electricity costs.
4.LED Grow Light fixtures do not generate as much heat as HID fixtures.
5.Special spectrum LEDs can stimulate better plant health and growth
6.Grow lights with the right spectrum enable growers to manage plant morphology, flowering, and influence flavor, and color.

Then I'd like to recommend several high quality LED grow lights:

2: Are LEDs right for you?

Takeaways

1. LED grow light gives you possibilities to improve crop growth all year round
2. You can grow microgreens, leafy greens, herbs, berries and many other plants all-year-round with the right grow light
3. Fruiting vegetables need a lot more lights as they are light-loving crops
4. Choosing the right power and spectrum is important
5. There are flexible spectrum lights and there are also all-purpose grow lights. Choose what will work best for you

LED grow lights offer many more possibilities with regards to the spectral mix of the fixture to improve crop growth and grow all year round. Other lighting technologies like high-pressure sodium, metal halide, and fluorescent have a fixed spectrum. LEDs themselves also have a fixed spectrum, but they can be tailor-made and with light scripts from ECO Farm you can make a unique light spectrum.

Generally, it is recommended to use grow lights indoors in a dry environment. If you have some windowsill where you can put grow lights or a shelf with grow lights that would work well. A garden greenhouse would work great as well especially if you’re growing light-loving crops such as tomatoes. Typically in the garden greenhouse, you’ll need a high intensity to grow light. A grow tent is also a great environment to grow without any natural daylight.

3. What types of grow lights are out there? Can you grow with 600W lights and USB grow lights?

There are a lot of different grow lights out in the market. So here are some notes to help you.

Takeaways
1.The type of grow light you’ll need depends on what you are growing and your goal.
2.You can grow herbs, microgreens, leafy vegetables, berries, and more with the ECO Farm range.
3.Fruiting vegetables grow up well under grow lights but need high-intensity light for flowering and fruiting
4.USB powered grow lights often emit too little light to support plant growth
5.High power 600W grow lights are an option for grow-tent users and tech enthusiasts.
6.Use grow lights with plant-spectrums that are focused on giving you good plant growth and health

4: Managing Plant Growth with LEDs

Takeaways
1.Growing greens and herbs with LED lights can be beneficial for both energy saving and plant production and plant health.
2.With LED grow lights, you can save a tremendous amount of energy, they’re another tool for you to manage plant growth, and they enable you to get more consistent growth.
3.You can manage plant morphology (short and bushy vs tall and skinny) with growth lights, and you can also influence nutrition and taste

Growing greens and herbs with LED lighting

Some factors to consider when growing greens and herbs with LED lighting:

Light quality can give an increase in flavor, antioxidant levels, darker leaf color, and plant morphology manipulation. It can also help to prolong the freshness during shelf-life (e.g. after cutting the greens).
Plant morphology: light influences the size of the leaves, the height of the plant, the compactness of plants, and the root mass.
Temperature: LED lights will reduce the ambient temperature compared to HID lights and it allows for less evapotranspiration and water consumption.
Nutrient mix: concentration levels remain similar to those when using traditional lighting. If you’re increasing your light intensity to boost photosynthesis the plants may need a bit more nutrients as well.
