LED grow lights can stimulate the light spectrum of sunlight.
The ideal light for plants is direct sunshine. The spectrum of colors produced by sunlight includes white, red, blue, violet, yellow, and green. Unlike other types of lights, which have a limited spectrum, LEDs are available in all of these wavelengths.
White, red, and blue light are the three colors that are most important to plants. While red and blue light are essential for plant growth, white light is best for overall plant growth. Red light is essential for seed germination, flowering, and fruit development. Blue light contributes to strong leaves and stems.
Additionally, violet, yellow, and green light have important functions. The flavor and perfume of some plants may be enhanced by violet light, which can also speed up growth. Green and yellow light support photosynthesis, albeit they don’t stimulate growth as much as red and blue light.
