Hello, my name is Joshua. Today we are going to talk about the distance of placing the plant growth lamp on the plant to be found. Starting from the general range, try to see if the manufacturer of the lamp provides information and how far away is. If your lamp is 100, you should keep the lighting (if you don’t follow these general tips). You want to keep it between 8 and 12 inches. Anything below 100 watts is not really useful for any type of actual growth.

Maybe you get a plant by a window or something, you need to give it a little more light power than 40 watts, but if you want to grow the light completely, you need at least 100 watts, so 100 watts 8 to 12 distance 200 to 399 inches, This will give you 400 to 600 between 12 and 20 inches which is about 20 to 27 inches, and then 600 to thousands to no matter how bright you can get, you need at least 3 feet or more if you are using one that is far away from the top of the plant Matters needing attention reflectors like mylar I have come back here, you want to give your plants a little extra height and monitor them very carefully, because all this reflected light entering your plants may make you incomprehensible Take a little further than you need, and then move in instead of as you want, you need us to love our plants, so you think more light means more love, but you don’t want to burn your plants , So it always starts to be cautious about its distance. It’s good then move it down, wait a few days, and then move it down again. You can find your little sweet spot, I let my light come closer once I sprout, My plants will sprout to simulate the spring sun’s tendency to move them farther. This is not really necessary, but I prefer to make sure that I get the germination rate and possible, so you do after setting the general range a The next thing in general height is that you have to closely monitor the plants, they will tell you that you are exactly what they need, so the common symptoms of plants do not get enough light to make the leaves yellow and drip, hindering the growth of the leaves. And dim colors, so I have almost no problems like mine. When I set the correct height, there is always too much light. I dialed everything, and of course the plants grow light upwards, and then as they grow, They are burned, so I don’t really have a good example, but if you want to make sure it’s not as long as your plant, because once it grows long, it’s within reach.

It becomes fragile to recover. It may have a weak plan based on it, and then weaken the rest of the plan to stay healthy. It seems crazy, so continue to make sure you are looking at the plant to make sure you are now Give them enough light to shine on the headlights, this is an example of cucumber plant growth. Too much light makes you unable to see the leaves are scorched. I believe you can look good on the camera, but these skills are restricted Yes, you will be burned to death. The patches you can see here have some spots burned off on leave. Okay, they are very crisp, a bit like it is really crisp, like this, you want to be careful A little bit and imagine that you are sunburned. I am glad you know that you have been sitting on the beach for too long in the sun. You are sunburned. This is the same reaction that plants will have to you. This is what you are looking for. I think most growers will tend to just because of this problem rather than problems like this. How powerful LED grow lights and all growing lights, etc. are now, plants tend to grow into lights and get sunburned, so you want to see if To something like this, please adjust the lighting adjustment in advance. The three ways to give plants are of course. You keep the light close to the plant, move it to a farther place, you give them less light, and you get closer to it. , You give them more numbers two. You can also set a timer. I use a timer here, it will automatically turn off and turn off the lights according to the 16 o’clock and 8 o’clock schedule.

If you can’t move upwards like in my shelf system, only a certain distance away, you can keep it, and then you can adjust how long to keep them at any time so even if the LAT light touches the leaves and you, you only keep it It stayed there for four to six hours, which is equivalent to a day full of light. Just in general, I don’t want to try any math or whether this is completely equivalent, but the point is that you can start a timer and reduce the amount of light the plants get, or You can add or remove the reflective sheath. I use a lot of polyester film just because I like my growth lamp to be the most efficient. I know that you have to pay for electricity like I want to make the most of it and control how close I can put the lamp. Knowing that it can save time and energy, so I can not only reflect on my tray, but also reflect on the back wall, because it is just a concrete wall, it absorbs light, so if I can reflect some of the light than I Useful, and then I can use to reduce energy, so I strongly recommend that you use a reflector system in your products and get the best energy for your lighting. Another reason I use reflective film is because the light cannot penetrate the roof like Like sunlight, sunlight travels millions of miles, so it’s not a big deal to penetrate the sun a few inches down through the canopy of something, but it’s a big deal for grow lights.

Because you are only emitting light and putting a foot or two on the ceiling of these inches, it may be difficult for the light to penetrate, so I put the reflective polyester film here to reflect it back to the bottom of the canopy, so all of these can get very good Good light sources, even shaded leaves can get good light, so thank you for discussing with me how to put the light near the plant. The comment section tells me if you burned the plant like I did. Tell me if you did it Correction, did you make further adjustments to put the timer there, or you added or removed reflective film, thank you for watching.
