Move Your Vegetable Gardening Indoors For A Winter Harvest

 When the growing season ends, for some, maybe they want a break from tending to vegetables and want to spend the winter pursuing other interests. For others, though, it can be a disheartening time of year. If you are one of that categories, why not try indoor winter gardening? Moving your vegetable garden indoors to have a winter harvest to have fresh salads you grew yourself all year long.

Moving your vegetable garden indoors for the colder months means that you get to enjoy a fresh harvest for even longer. By doing ample research and understanding the differences between outdoor gardening and indoor gardening, you'll get to experience fruitful results of your hard work year-round instead of only during the active growing season.

Not only that, you get to control more aspects of the growing process than plants outdoors. Indoor gardening avoids concerns like frost, overwatering from rain, too much drought, and undeterred pests. You just try your best to combat the challenges that come with the benefits and choose when to water, how much to water, and what kind of potting mix and nutrients the plants receive.

With winter comes less light, and gardening indoors means the plants don't have access to pollinating insects or wind. Luckily, full spectrum LED grow lights for indoor plants and hydroponics home garden will help you create the indoor winter garden.

What Are The Characteristics Of LED Grow Lights?

 LED plant growth lights are made according to the principle of the sun, which can promote and help plant growth. It is suitable for tissue culture, plant factories, greenhouses, indoor flowers and succulents, and other places with insufficient sunlight. The characteristics of LED plant growth lights: 

1. LED plant growth lights scientifically distribute light according to plant growth needs to promote the number of photosynthesis of plants, thereby promoting plant growth. 

2. LED plant growth light can provide red and blue mixed light and full-spectrum lighting solutions. 

3. LED plant growth lights reduce pests and diseases and deformed fruits. 

4. LED plant growth lights can make crops go on the market 7 to 15 days in advance, shorten the growth cycle of plants, and increase crop yields by 30%. 

5. The energy-saving efficiency of LED plant growth lamps is high, 90% energy-saving compared with incandescent lamps, and 60% energy-saving compared with ordinary fluorescent lamps. 

6. The service life of the LED plant growth lamp is still very long, as long as more than 30,000 hours. 

7. LED plant growth lamp and the light for lighting does not contain harmful elements such as mercury and lead. The cold light source is used, and the led tube will not burn the plants. Correspondingly fast, no flicker, little glare. The solid light source, strong shock resistance, easy to transport and install. 

The characteristics of the LED plant growth light, if the greenhouse, plant factory, indoor flowers, and other places need to fill light, you can use the LED plant fill light.

Should Plants Use Plant Lights

 Plants need to undergo photosynthesis so that they can grow. Even moss that is particularly shade-tolerant must be brightly lit to survive. Various shade-tolerant plants commonly available on the market must maintain proper light to survive. A completely dark environment. If the environment is too dark, should we use plant lights?

I have seen many plant lights before. They all emit purple or pink brilliance and look very strange. If you turn on these lights at home and add light to the plants, they will look like a pink and purple light outside. Misunderstood by others that my home is a bad place.

But you must know that the spectrum of most plant lights today is not accurate, and the lumens are not enough, that is to say, the intensity of the light is not enough, and the demand for plant growth is not enough.

So now the fill light or plant light we usually use can only be used as a temporary supplement to keep plants alive, and cannot replace sunlight.

Common indoor plants can grow well under plant lights for a short period of time, and they can generally maintain good conditions for about two or three months. For example, if there is no sunlight in winter, or in rainy weather, plant lights can be properly used.

LED Plant Light Fills Up Light For Greenhouse Flowers

Whether it is on the balcony or living room at home, or on the desk, put a few pots of vibrant green plants or bright flowers, which can not only freshen the air but also relieve visual fatigue and improve mood. Now more and more people are starting to cultivate green plants and flowers, so the cultivation of green plants in greenhouses is also very popular. There is also a lot of room for development in planting green flowers, not only for domestic sales but also for export.

Green plants and flowers are more delicate and have strict requirements on the growth environment, while greenhouse planting can better ensure their growth needs. But I believe that people who grow flower greenhouses have a headache, that is, they often encounter insufficient light. Plants absorb sunlight for photosynthesis and produce the energy they need. If there is not enough light, it will not grow healthily.

To solve this problem, people have to artificially supplement light for plants. Plant supplement light is a lamp specially developed to supplement light for plants. It is made according to the principle that plants use sunlight for photosynthesis, and can use light instead of sunlight to illuminate plants. It can supplement light to plants anytime and anywhere in the case of cloudy rainy or hazy days, and long-term insufficient light. The LED plant supplement light is the third generation plant supplement light. Compared with other supplement lights, it has many advantages, such as long service life, less space, and adjustable spectrum. The use of LED plant light can also control the flowering period, adjust the time to market, and add color to the flowers.

Market Application Of LED Plant Light

 LED plant supplement light is a kind of plant light. It uses light-emitting diodes (LED) as the light source and uses light to replace sunlight to create an environment for plant growth and development in accordance with the law of plant growth. LED plant lights help shorten the growth cycle of plants. The light source is mainly composed of red and blue light sources, using the most sensitive light band of plants. Red wavelengths use 630nm and 640-660nm, and blue wavelengths use 450-460nm and 460-470nm. These light sources can make the plant produce the best photosynthesis so that the plant can get the best growth state.

In China, the user groups of LED plant supplementary lights are mainly individual users, scientific research institutes, greenhouses, and three-dimensional farms. Users who personally like to plant use supplementary lights to supplement light for plants at home; scientific research institutes are mainly used for experiments, Greenhouses and three-dimensional farms mainly use plant supplementary lights to shorten the crop growth cycle, control the flowering period, and cultivate economic crops.

In foreign countries, the level of agricultural development is higher than that in our country, and the living standards of families are also higher than in our country. Foreigners like to grow vegetables and flowers at home. At the same time, foreign countries have liberalized the cultivation of industrial hemp, so many greenhouses and families will also use it. Plant supplement light to grow anesthetic crops.

In general, plant supplementary lights are mostly used for cash crops or high-value-added crops (of course, some crops are also used to supplement light due to insufficient light due to regional environmental restrictions). There are still many R&D and production companies for LED plant supplementary lights in the world, but it is well known that China, as a world factory, has obvious advantages, so Chinese products account for a high proportion of the market. International giants CREE, Osram, and Philips all make LED plant lights. Guangdong Weizhaoye Optoelectronics is a company with a long history of plant lights. Its products are supplied to the domestic market and exported to the international market. And now, with the rapid development of Chinese enterprise technology, the technological gap is negligible. At the same time, the cost advantage of domestic supplier Weizhaoye Optoelectronics's plant lamp cost advantage is incomparable to foreign companies.
