How To Prevent Stretching In Cannabis Plants?

Distance Between The Plant And Grow Lights Key take away here: LED Grow lights from different companies can give very different results (doh, we guess we knew this already, but it's nice to see it in practice). The LumiGrow light is the clear winner here, however, one should note that the HydroGrow light looks from the picture to be an older model (their current models have fans that are positioned differently and they don't currently sell a 345W model). The 'experiment' is well-controlled since the plant used in each set-up is a clone, and they are kept in identical conditions apart from the lighting (with a reflective wall separating the two sets). Wattage-wise they can be assumed to be the same but interestingly the author gets two strikingly different results.

This grow diary is the type of study that is most sought after - comparing two different lamps side-by-side, in this case a 345W HydroGrow LED light vs a 330W LumiGrow LED light. using LED lighting as opposed to more conventional artificial lights) can optimise plant metabolism.ģ. Key take away here: Focusing on specific light wavelengths (i.e. fruit production, etc) that we would like them to perform. This probably has to do with stronger induction of chlorophyll pigment in the plant leaves, which is likely to make the plant far more metabolically active and have more energy for the tasks (eg. Using these LED grow lamps, the author was able to get a much darker green (and healthier-looking we might add) plant than with a 600W HPS lamp. Once again, it looks like they are using cannabis plants, and for their LEDs, they use four 'professional' 90W Kessil lamps (360W total), in this case the 'magenta' variant which incorporates a 4-band spectrum of blue and red with a focus on the red bands. we thought this was an interesting comparison of the differences one might get using different light sources. Key take away here: 450W G8-LED grow lamp should be placed about 1m above the top of the plant canopy to get good growth.Ģ. The author then uses the 450W LED lamp placed further away, which results in sudden spurt of vigorous plant growth.

In this case, the author has mistakenly placed the lamp too close to the plants, initially stunting their growth. What is particularly interesting here is that the author demonstrates one of the useful characteristics of LED grow lights that we alluded to elsewhere, namely that positioning your LED grow lamp can determine the size of your resulting plant. The author is obviously not growing true blueberry plants (just in case you are confused by the name) but a strain of cannabis that is called the blueberry strain. Here is a very interesting account of someone's experience using one of the G8-LED grow lights that are sold by Dorm Grow which we describe on our UK review page as one of the better lights out there. Ok, disclaimer made, let's get into it.ġ. So just to be clear, we don't endorse in any way the growing of cannabis, we merely point to their sites for the information that they provide using the LED lighting technology. We don't know about you but we're not that inclined to grow cannabis here in the UK! However, if we ignore their growing accounts, then we think that we could miss out on some valuable growing data using LED grow lights. The first thing that strikes us is that almost ALL the 'grow diaries' that you find on the web involve growing cannabis (in the States usually - we guess they are well on their way to legalising it).
