Changes in plants are obvious at a glance
BARREL's Amaterasu has a light similar to sunlight, It is easy to observe changes in the state of plants regardless of the weather.
Our store has a greenhouse that is used to manage the rooting of shrubs. Up until now, we had been using a pink grow light from another company. The purpose was to prevent the elongation of sprouting branches and leaves, but the illuminated area was If the color becomes all pink, new buds sprout or something abnormal happens to the plant. The disadvantage was that it was difficult to discover.
However, after changing the light to Amaterasu, the natural light The changes in the plants are obvious. The amount of light is also stronger than conventional lights, I feel that it is more effective for growth.
Even if pests or rot occur, you can deal with them quickly.
The direct effect on rooting cannot be determined unless it is used for a long period of time. However, by making it easier to notice daily changes, you can indirectly increase the probability of rooting. I think this will lead to an increase in the number of people.
Also, the light emitted looks very good, I feel that it also has the effect of enhancing the attractiveness of plants.
Even plants that require a lot of light can be grown healthily.
Many of the tuberous plants we carry at our store have grown while being exposed to direct sunlight. Strong light is essential for growth.
Our store has easy access to natural light, so we are able to secure the minimum amount of light. It may become longer depending on the time and individual differences.
With Amaterasu, you can stably provide the strong light that tuberous plants need. It is a great advantage for growth because it can be fed.
Please tell me how to grow the plants you handle.
Basically, tuberous plants prefer strong light. Apply sunlight or a strong growing light, Managed in an environment that allows for adequate ventilation. Watering frequency varies depending on the variety, season, and environment. There are summer and winter types, and management methods differ depending on the variety. If you put it outside during the dormant period, there is a risk of it dying due to low or high temperatures. Equipment such as growing lights and a greenhouse is required.
Please tell me how to use the grow light.
I want to expose the tuberous plants to strong light, so I install the grow light as close as possible to them. Of course, it is necessary to adjust the distance so that leaf burn does not occur. There is no problem even if you do not change the amount of light depending on the size of the plant.
However, plants that are under rooting management or that have just taken root should not be exposed to strong light. It's easy to get sick if you hit it. Powerful such as Amaterasu In the case of a light, increase the irradiation distance or use a weak light or Ideally managed in the shade.
What purpose do you use the grow light for?
We use a growing light not only for growing, but also for rooting management. During periods when sunlight cannot be applied, such as during the dormant season and the rainy season. It is also used to secure light.
Do you use sunlight and grow lights differently?
The plants we manage are basically exposed to natural light that comes in through windows. Dark areas are supplemented with a grow light. The plants at home are basically managed outdoors during the growing season. The dormant period is separated by a growing light. Some stocks are experimentally managed with year-round growth lights (Amaterasu). However, some varieties grow better than when managed outdoors, so equipment costs can be reduced. I feel that it is not impossible to manage it with light cultivation throughout the year if you are willing to do so.
Wider irradiation range compared to other companies' products
There are a wide variety of plant growing lights on the market. While currently having the same amount of light as Amaterasu, There are also several LEDs from domestic manufacturers on the market that sell low prices.
I tried all those LEDs, but the irradiation range was narrower than Amaterasu. There are only a few plants that can be illuminated with one light. This is a big disadvantage, and when growing the same number of plants, This will increase the number of lights required. The electricity bill will increase accordingly, and if you look at the total, it is better to use Amaterasu. I think the cost performance is high.
By removing the reflector, in exchange for the amount of light, I also felt that the ability to expand the irradiation range was highly versatile.
We are still using it in our store and rooting management room. Honestly, I'm satisfied with it as it's clearly better than other lights.
Are there any precautions to take when using a grow light?
I think it's important to adjust the irradiation distance. If it's too close, it will easily cause burns, and if it's too far away, the effect will be diminished. If it is a powerful light with a wide irradiation range like Amaterasu, I think you can feel the effects even if you are a certain distance away.
Also, when switching to outdoor management for plants that have been managed under growing lights for many years, Since burns are very easy to occur, gradually expose to sunlight while blocking light. I think you need to get used to it.
