Effects of plant lights and natural light time on plant growth

Plant light time is the time when plants receive natural light or artificial LED plant growth lights. The light intensity and light quality will have their own changing rules, and the same is true for the light time:

(1) The light time is longer in summer than in winter

(2) Equinox day and night all year round near the equator

(3) Long days and short nights in summer

(4) Short days and long nights in winter

Long-day plants: Refers to plants that require a long light time. Only when a long light time is regularly reached within the photoperiod can the plant bloom and set fruit, otherwise it will only grow normally and will not form flower buds. This type of plant is illuminated Insufficient time has a great impact on it, and it is also the plant that most needs to be aligned and supplemented with LED plant lights.

Common long-day plants include: impatiens, wheat, spinach, radish and so on.

Short-day plants: Refers to plants that bloom when the light time is less than a certain value according to the photoperiod. Contrary to long-day plants, the light time is too long. In Google and for vegetative growth, such plants generally do not grow except for special purposes. Fill in the light with LED grow lights!

Common short-day plants are: soybeans, morning glory, chrysanthemum, tobacco and so on.

Intermediate sunlight plants: This type of plant does not have strict requirements on the lighting time. It can bloom only if other external conditions are met. Different sunlight lengths have little effect on its flowering, but the lighting time will affect the growth rate. Use LED Plant lamps can appropriately shorten its growth cycle.

Common intermediate plants are: cucumber, dandelion, green beans, tomato and so on.

It is very important to understand the light time (sunshine length) required by various plants. Correctly grasp the photoperiod phenomenon of plants, make targeted adjustments to the growth of plants, and use LED plant lights to supplement light to increase crop yield and quality.
