Lighting - bambooweb. info The Excelvan PG01 LED grow light will emit light in the red and blue wavelengths at 620-630nm and 460 to 470nm, these wavelengths correspond to chlorophyll's absorption peaks and will greatly enhance the photosynthesis of your plants This LED plant light uses just 14 Watts of power and generates very little heat so unlike regular light bulbs, HID lamps or fluorescent tubes which means you can
fargesia nitida - Page 2 - bambooweb. info From seeing commercial growers, I usually see greenhouses have metal halides, hps, or T5 flourescent bulb setups so having the right kind of light is very important For example, a 6400k cfl bulb seem to do fine in causing vegetative growth, but it seemed to lack the ability to cause shooting budding in seedlings that I have grown in the past
Indoor Boo suggestion - bambooweb. info One option may be to get a 1000watt HPS, or metal halide plant light, which should be enough to keep the plants happy, but cost a lot Another option is to keep the plants outside during the warmer months and bring them inside for winter
Dos and Donts - bambooweb. info A 250 watt hps should be adequate for small seedlings in a 80x80cm area, as long as you have lots of reflectors keeping the light in Once your seedlings get bigger, they will start to require more space, and a light that is set more like 3-5 feet away from the seedlings to get adequate coverage
Hot or Not - bambooweb. info Unlike HPS, you can bring the light practically right on top of the leaves without experiencing leaf burn Its amazing how if its done right, you can have cuttings rooting in the middle of winter
Grow-lights not enough? - Page 3 - bambooweb. info A 600W HPS - the proverbial design "sweet spot" - coupled with a digital ballast - less than $250 USD, with a power factor of 0 99 or so - would be far less efficient due to heat generated by the bulb, but still quite respectable
Grow-lights not enough? - Page 2 - bambooweb. info MH has hazards, HPS is better, but it has a very high operation temperature, as is the MH as well also your power costs are VERY high You can get a PFC easily buy buying a motor run capacitor and placing it across the LV side of your ballast they are usually 250V rated at several to 10s of uF
Growing ground cover plants indoors - bambooweb. info Hi everyone, I'm thinking of trying to grow some ground cover plants indoors over the winter to give them a head start before planting them in the spring The 2 species I currently overwinter indoors are japonica and bambusa multiplex, and they seem to do fine with my watering misting schedule, though the bambusa seems more sensitive to air soil dryness (I err on the side of too dry usually
Grow-lights not enough? - Page 4 - bambooweb. info The MH HPS bulbs also can and do explode sometimes during operation sending very hot glass not to mention the vapourized mercuric oxide (s) into the surrounding air Yes, if you are thinking HPS doesn't have mercury or have a UV hazard think again The inner arc channel contains mercury to helps the sodium burn arc at a higher pressure
