Summary
Light recipe technology is a core pillar of plant factories. It tailors the optimal light spectrum to each crop based on its photosynthetic traits, turning light into a precise growth tool. Henvic's full-spectrum LED system switches recipes automatically by crop and stage, cutting energy use by over 30% versus ordinary lamps.
Key Points
- Red light (620-700nm) drives photosynthesis and leafy growth, while blue (400-500nm) builds chlorophyll and shapes plant form; far-red (700-800nm) controls flowering time, and green (500-600nm) reaches deep leaves to lift lower-layer efficiency.
- Recipes vary by crop: leafy vegetables use red:blue 4:1 for fast growth, fruiting crops get more blue to aid flowering, mushrooms need low light, and seedlings need high blue to grow strong roots.
- Henvic's full-spectrum LED auto-switches per crop and stage and saves more than 30% energy over standard grow lights, making precise spectrum control practical for indoor farms.
