It is often obtained that seedlings require an additional light source. Many people are in winter begin to hang out seeds. At the same time, it starts to darken on the street in the area 3-4 hours of the day. To make seedlings, you need to think about creating additional light sources. An ordinary lamp or a small searchlight in this business will not fit. Uniform light is needed, which will cover the entire area of \u200b\u200bseedlings. Nowadays, you can easily find interesting options, with which the seedlings will take up really quickly.
Creating a simple backlight for seedlings
To make at least the simplest design to highlight the seedlings with your own hands, you need to have several wooden bars and a couple of luminescent lamps at your disposal. In this case, the design will be located on special racks, so its height should be somewhat higher than the seedlings.
To create such a backlight, we will need two small bars, the cross section of which will be 2x4 cm, and the length is 100 cm. Also need long and short screws to fasten the lamp on the bar. The lighting itself is attached to the bar, the length of which should be at least 80 cm, depending on the seedling area. Perpendicular to the longest element of the future illumination, on the sides, mounted 2 bars. Their length should be within 20-30 cm. In order to securely mount the wooden elements, it is best to use plow glue or screws. As a support, small wooden bars will be opposed, between which a straight angle should be formed. The main design of the racks are fastened with the help of small screws. If necessary, such a backlight can be burned in one direction or another. If you need a durable and fixed design, the screws can be replaced by bolts and nuts.
If the socket is far from the seedlings, you need to take care of the elongation of the wire of the fluorescent lamp, otherwise it will be very difficult to change something after creating the design.
Use phytolamp
Fortunately, today there are many modern devices that can significantly ease life. Phytolambuses are precisely those devices that will necessarily use seedlings to lovers.
The essence of the work of the phytolamp is that these devices can fully replace the vegetation daylight. Depending on the photosynthesis of plants, phytolams activate one or another color of the lighting. In this case, it is not necessary to control the situation in which seedlings - phytolampa uses all the necessary resources so that the vegetation can feel as comfortable.
It also knows that such lighting blocks individual colors that negatively affect the growth of certain types of plants.
You can find phytolams of various sizes and shapes. It is best to make a choice in favor of such lighting, which perfectly covers the entire area of \u200b\u200bseedlings. There are various types of lamps that are used for certain species of plants. For the optimal result, experts recommend combining phytolamp species.
Proper backlight location
Despite the existence of completely new types of coverage of the seedlings, first of all, it is necessary to understand what kind of illumination should be, and how it will be located. The improper location of the light source will not only bring any effect, but also harm seedlings.
As in the first case, the backlight must have a special basis, which, if necessary, can raise the light source. It is known that the distance between the lamp and the plant should be at least 10 cm. Accordingly, the seedlings will arise, and the light source must be lifted. Too highlighting the backlight is also not necessary, since the plants will be very pulled out.
When buying a lamp to highlight the seedlings, you need to keep in mind that its overall height should be at least 35 cm. If the lamp is too high, then no sense may not be. It is necessary to ensure that there is a seedlings. It is best to follow the progress of the ascent of the two identical seids located in different tanks. Over one of the seasides you need to place a lamp, and the other will be in vivo. If the backlight really has a positive effect on the plants, their ascents should be expected much earlier than another seedlings.
To increase the effect, you can use foil or any other reflective material. It must be displayed throughout the perimeter of the windowsill or other surface, where seedlings are located. Especially positively on the growth rate of seedlings will affect the use of the reflector in the bright time of the day. It is necessary to control the situation so that in the summer the warm rays of light have not destroyed vegetation.
When buying specialized light sources, including phytolamps, it is better to carefully study the instructions. It is there that the complete information related to the most effective lighting modes of vegetation is indicated. Some manufacturers ensure that such equipment allows you to grow some cultures practically without natural light.
Creating a backlight of seedlings with LEDs
LED lighting is used in almost all spheres of human activity. Obviously, such lighting is suitable for seedlings. LEDs provide a bright flow of light, which allows growing plants in a short time.
LED elements themselves are miniature light sources. On a small wooden plank, you can place several dozen of such elements. It is best to get several flat lamps with LEDs and combine them on a small design for a light source. After that, all lamps need to attach to a single power source and enjoy the work of bright lighting.
You can purchase LEDs of various colors that can positively affect the growth rate of grown crops.
