When planning the supplemental lighting in your greenhouse, you need to first consider the natural light that reaches your plants. This can be influenced by your geographic region, the season, the time of day, the light transmission factor of the greenhouse glass, shaded spots within the structure, and more. While all these things may be beyond your control, you can control the light you provide to your plants.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Different plant species have different light requirements at each stage of development. The natural light shining into your facility plus the supplemental light you provide to plants on a 24-hour day make up the total <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/heliospectra.com\/blog\/the-power-of-light-control-on-food-crops\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">daily light integral <\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\">(DLI). The DLI is the sum of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/heliospectra.com\/blog\/horticulture-lighting-metrics-understand-grow-lights\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">photosynthetically active radiation<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\"> (PAR) that plants receive over a day (but it should be noted that light outside of PAR, like far-red, also has an impact on plants).\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Plants can be divided into high-light crops like tomato (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/agronomy11050835\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">~22-30 DLI)<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\"> that need a high DLI in order to produce a high-quality product and low-light crops like Phalaenopsis (orchid) that require much less (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.extension.purdue.edu\/extmedia\/ho\/ho-238-w.pdf\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">~6-10 DLI<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\">).\u00a0 Providing your crops with optimal DLI is extremely important since it influences plant growth, development, yield, and quality. Fortunately, there is a technology that can help you to reach your DLI target over a given photoperiod, such as intelligent LEDs with predictive lighting controls like Heliospectra\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/heliospectra.com\/heliocore\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">helioCORE\u2122<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\">.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Sufficient DLI can drive the root and shoot growth of seedlings and cuttings, speed up production, and have an impact on characteristics like branching, flower number, and stem thickness. On the other hand, if your plants are receiving insufficient DLI, this can slow down and reduce growth and production levels. Since tomato is a high-light crop, insufficient DLI also affects fruit quality in terms of sugars and flavor. In low-light conditions, your plants may grow weak and have minimal fruit set and growth. If the DLI drops to very low levels, flower and fruitlet drops may occur.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Since DLI is dependent on both photoperiod and intensity, when light levels and day lengths drop in winter the DLI will decrease considerably, for example, in November through February in the United States (see map below). In such conditions, supplemental lighting needs to be at the right intensity and photoperiod to provide the DLI your plants need.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\n<style>\n#text-3461210717 {\n  text-align: left;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div id=\"gap-318716000\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-318716000 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_124562965\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"759\" height=\"537\" src=\"https:\/\/heliospectra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/greenhouse-tomatoes-high-light-vegetable-series-dli.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"DLI grapgh through the months\" srcset=\"https:\/\/heliospectra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/greenhouse-tomatoes-high-light-vegetable-series-dli.jpg 759w, https:\/\/heliospectra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/greenhouse-tomatoes-high-light-vegetable-series-dli-300x212.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 759px) 100vw, 759px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_124562965 {\n  width: 48%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"gap-185744260\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-185744260 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"TextRun SCXW29561588 BCX8\" lang=\"EN-CA\" xml:lang=\"EN-CA\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW29561588 BCX8\">In addition to seasonal and daily changes to light, your <\/span><\/span><span class=\"TextRun SCXW29561588 BCX8\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW29561588 BCX8\" data-ccp-charstyle=\"Strong\">greenhouse structure, glazing materials, cladding, internal obstructions, and more can limit the light your plants receive.
