3. Operating Instructions
The BESTVA DC4000 LED Grow Light offers adjustable modes to cater to different plant growth requirements:
- Dual Switch Design: The light features two independent switches: 'VEG' and 'BLOOM'.
- VEG Mode: Activates the blue and white LEDs, promoting lush vegetative growth, ideal for seedlings and early plant development.
- BLOOM Mode: Activates the red and warm white LEDs, supporting the flowering and fruiting stages of plants.
- VEG & BLOOM Mode: Both switches can be turned on simultaneously to provide a full spectrum for maximum growth and yield during intense growth phases.
- Sunlike Spectrum: The light utilizes a blend of 3000K (warm white), 5000K (white light), 460nm (blue light), and 660nm (red light) LEDs to deliver a spectrum closely resembling natural sunlight.
- Recommended Hanging Height and Duration:
- Seedling Stage: Hang the light approximately 24-30 inches above the plants for 14-18 hours per day (VEG mode).
- Vegetative Stage: Hang the light approximately 18-24 inches above the plants for 12-16 hours per day (VEG mode or VEG & BLOOM mode).
- Flowering/Fruiting Stage: Hang the light approximately 12-18 inches above the plants for 10-12 hours per day (BLOOM mode or VEG & BLOOM mode).
