Based on
our patented LED grow light technology, the
LED-PlantPro5 supports the growth and development of
all photosynthesizing organisms (plants, algae, and
bacteria) commonly found in hobby, commercial, and
scientific areas of interest.
For the
serious horticulturalist, the LED-PlantBar5 provides
excellent primary and supplemental grow lighting for
all types of commercial and scientific growing needs.
Cool operation prevents unwanted heating of
environment. The LED-PlantPro5 grow light bar provides
an excellent addition as supplemental lighting to
existing HID, MH, or HPS glass greenhouses.

Notes
LED based grow lights present a challenge when
replacing traditional grow lights. LEDs are low
energy devices (like fluorescent lights), this
means that they must be closer to the plants
than high energy sources (like HPS or MH
lights).
But there's a trade off between close and
coverage. Because LEDs output a "cone"
of light, closer means a decrease in coverage.
So a balance must be attained between desired
energy at the plant and coverage in square
feet.
Some plants require higher energy (plant closer
to bar) and thus for coverage you'll need to use
more bars in an offset stagger multiple bar
configuration to increase coverage. Some plants
require low energy to grow, so fewer bars at a
greater distance are possible. LED-PlantBars may
also be hung vertically within the foliage of a
dense plant for additional energy (a big selling
point as traditional lights cannot do this).

Gardening Tips for Using LEDtronics LED-PlantBar
Grow Lights |
| These
tips come from proven experience and should be
followed when possible to ensure success with
LED professional grow lights. This information
applies to both the use of individual light
bars, and light bars mounted in multiple bar
arrays.
|
| Temperatures
|
| Keep
environmental temperatures in the range of 70°F
– 80°F. (Lower temperatures = Slower plant
growth.) You should also monitor root zone
temperature as well.
|
| Watering
|
| DON’T
over water your plants. (Less heat from light source
= Less water loss
to evaporation). (Over watering = Slow root
development = Slow and stunted growth). Over
watering will also cause nutrient uptake issues
(you are feeding your plants, right?).
|
| Watering
rates using LED-PlantBars versus conventional
white light: Water
plants once and monitor the longer time it takes
for them to run low on water to determine your particular plant
specie's rate of water usage.
|
| Keeping
the root medium water saturated = No need for
the
plant to develop a larger root system = Stomata
closure, slow and stunted growth, and symptoms
of over watering.
|
| Using a more porous medium =
More oxygen to roots = Higher plant metabolism.
|
| Nutrients
and CO2
|
| Start
with a lower amount of nutrient (400-600ppm) or
half the recommended amount.
|
| When
commercial growing: Monitor your CO2
levels. LED lights emit a large amount of
absorbed light, which may require slight
augmentation of CO2
levels (300-500ppm).
|
| Lighting
|
| Remember,
it doesn’t look like much light to you, but it
is a lot of light to your plants.
|
| With
fruiting plants: Reduced photoperiod = Plant
stress = More flowering.
|
| If
your plants are grown indoors without
supplemental light, some plants—such as
tomatoes—may benefit from the addition of a
single 60Watt light placed anywhere in the room
with the plants. This provides a small amount of
invisible infrared light which some plants find
beneficial.
|
| Don’t
forget, your plants need to sleep just like we
do, except plants prefer that the room be
totally dark at night. Check on the internet or
with a local nursery to find out the preferred
light/dark period for the plants that you’ll
be growing.
|
| Safety
|
| The
light emitting diodes (LEDs) used in this
product are very high intensity. Never look
directly into the light at close distance, or
for long periods of time.
