Propagation Lighting

How to Propagate Cuttings

To successfully propagate cuttings, ensure a proper light source, such as a Lumii T5 Propagator Light, is available. Place the cuttings in a humidity-controlled environment, such as a propagator. Use rooting hormone to encourage root growth and position the lights 6-12 inches above the cuttings to provide sufficient brightness without overheating. The Sunblaster T5HO Lamp + Fixture is an excellent choice for consistent light intensity during this stage.

How to Use Grow Lights for Seedlings

Seedlings require bright, focused light to establish strong roots and healthy stems. Use a Sunblaster LED Strip Light for uniform coverage and low heat output. Position the lights close to the seedlings, about 2-4 inches above, to prevent stretching. Gradually increase the light height as the seedlings grow. Monitor daily for signs of overexposure or insufficient light.

How to Use Grow Lights on Seedlings

To optimize seedling growth:

1. Set the grow lights on a timer, maintaining a cycle of 16-18 hours of light and 6-8 hours of darkness.
2. Use full-spectrum lights to mimic natural sunlight.
3. Adjust light height to avoid overheating while ensuring adequate intensity. The Maxibright 220w PL4 Propagator Light is ideal for delicate seedlings.
4. Ensure even light distribution to avoid uneven growth.

How to Use Grow Lights for Indoor Plants

Indoor plants thrive under artificial lighting when natural light is insufficient. Select a grow light suited to the plant’s needs—low-light plants do well under a propagator LED, while high-light plants benefit from a T5 propagation light. Position the light above the plants, adjusting height and intensity based on plant type and growth stage. The Maxibright Daylight 200w LED offers excellent energy efficiency and coverage for diverse indoor plant species.
