LED Grow Lighting for Garden Seed Starting
I've been looking at a number of LED lights for garden seed starting. I have a shelving unit 60"w 24"D and would like to purchase the appropriate number of light fixtures for each shelf and the correct 4000K or 6500K. What do you suggest?
Our PhotonBlast fixtures are a great option for seedling growth in a vertical shelf unit. Each fixture is approximately 48" long, so even though your shelf width is a bit wider, the angular light distribution should provide sufficient coverage at the ends as well.
We would recommend perhaps 2-4 fixtures per shelf to provide sufficient coverage across the entire 60 x 24 inch surface. In my experience, it is always important to provide sufficient brightness during the seedling stage to prevent seedlings from getting "leggy" so that might be good to keep in mind.
We offer the product in both 4000K and 6500K (link below) and generally, 6500K works best for seedling growth, although I have also seen successful seedling growth with 4000K.
