Ferdinand Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 (edited) Does anyone have any experience of these? I am looking for something to go on the lower shelves of my ikea iVAR green wall. Potentially those shelves may move closer together. Ferdinand Edited June 16, 2020 by Ferdinand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpd Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 One of my Airbnb geusts was working in this feild and at the time I was intrested, lost his bloody details now..... but his research was to do with LED grow lights as it was a very cheep way of. Increasing yield on a large scale, so hopefully someone knows something. I want to eventually look at the feasibility of doing it throughout my planned polly tunnel to extend the growing season..... linked in to the whole thing being powered by a moderate sized wind turbine..... mostly just dreaming at the moment but........ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamyTea Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 I don't think that LED lighting is a replacement for natural light, think it is more a supplement or used in totally controlled areas with no natural light. Different plants use different parts of the light spectrum, and they can change their needs throughout the year. This is why leaves change colour. Some plants also need a very definite amount of light before they start producing seeds/crops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
