       As we known, spectrum is a important factor when we choose a led grow light. Why it is important? Because plants have different react to different light colors. So today, we would like to share the reaction of plants when they meet different lights colors.

UV: UV protects plants from harsh light and chemicals such as pesticides. At the same time, it can increase the accumulation of pigments in leaves, affecting leaf and plant morphology.

Blue: Blue stimulates stomatal opening in plants, inhibits stem elongation, thickens leaves, orients towards light and photoperiodic flowering. Plants face the light and bloom according to the photoperiod.

Green, Yellow, Orange: Under these lights, the plant's stomata close and photosynthesis takes place in the deeper cells.

Red: Red light promotes photosynthesis in plants and also promotes stem growth like blue light.

Far-red: Far-infrared light can promote plant elongation and flowering. Suitable for use in the flowering stage of plants.

Our company's grow lights are full-spectrum grow lights to meet the needs of different growth stages of plants.
