LED Succulents
A Pioneer blazes the trail for those who will follow behind. Pioneers give us new things to do and new ways of doing things we already do. They are ingenious, and full of the will to discover. As Galileo once said “All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them.”
I’m seeking pioneers. While SolarOasis patented the first LED grow light almost 10 years ago, the method is still in it’s infancy. LEDs are different from HPS and fluorescent lighting in almost every way. What many people don’t realize is that most of the supplies that we find for the indoor garden have been designed with the idea that plants will be receiving radiant heat from their light source. This heat is associated with fire and shock risks as well as lead and mercury dangers inherent in glass bulbs. We are now able to eliminate the heat and utilize a safe, durable option which opens the door to entirely new parameters of design in the garden.
I’m looking for pioneers of new mediums designed for porosity to help prevent over watering when the heat is eliminated. I’m looking for pioneers of space, to grow in places that were once inaccessible or unpractical using traditional lighting like shipping crates or underground gardens. I’m looking for pioneers in measurement as there is currently no handheld device to properly measure the output of LEDs in relation to plant growth. Almost every aspect of the garden could be reinvented to become more efficient now that we have access to LEDs.
With the variety of plants and methods of growing used on the planet today, all LED gardeners are pioneers. We advance the technique every time we plant a new variety or try a new method. It is estimated that there are over 300,000 different plant species on earth. You could be the fjrst to grow your species under LEDs. Take pictures and gather data. Help blaze the trail and hold yourself to your rightful place in history as a pioneer in LED gardening.
