We tell you what the distance from phytolamps to seedlings should be so that they do not stretch out.
At what height should phytolamps be hung?
It is important to understand that the higher the phytolamps are, the worse the plants are illuminated.
However, you should not place phytolamps too close, as the plants may get burned.
Secondly, you need to consider the type of phytolamp. LED ones are mainly used now.
The optimal distance from the LED phytolamp to the plants is 10-15 centimeters.
Thirdly, the light should be directed strictly from top to bottom; phytolamps should not be placed on the side or, especially, below.
In addition, it is extremely important to turn the phytolamps on and off at the same time.
Many plants react extremely sensitively to daily changes in daylight hours.
It is also strictly forbidden to illuminate plants around the clock.
Plants generally require about eight hours of darkness.
