– The LED panel should be placed 10 or 20 cm from the plants, they will then receive more intense light.
– Device operating time should be between 12 and 16 hours a day (withThe recommended operating time is 16 hours. The higher the panel, the longer the lighting time. If you want plants to serve as a decorative feature in the kitchen and set the panel at its maximum height, you should enable the 16-hour mode.
– In earth-like sponges there is fertilizer (up to 2 months) after this time a new medium should be created, adding soluble mineral fertilizer to the water. The fertilizer should be replaced every two weeks, washing the container at the same time. During the two-week period, only the water should be refilled and then the container should be stirred. (for a period of two weeks the fertilizer remains in the container and settles on its walls, so it does not need to be added every time you add water), add water only when the “Add water” – “Lack water” indicator light comes on.
– In earth-like sponges to increase the chance of plant germination, you can make 2-3 additional holes in which to plant the seeds, this way we won’t waste time while the plants are germinating and we will avoid a situation in which some seeds don’t germinate (it depends on the producer, the quality of the seeds and the storage methods). When too many plants grow on one sponge, the rest of the sprouted plants should be removed from the sponge. (I recommend 1-2 plants per sponge).
– The water level should be maintained between min and max. Do not exceed the maximum level, as the roots will be unable to absorb oxygen (water will bind oxygen) and will rot. Part of the root should be submerged in water and part in air. This will ensure the plant receives nutrients properly.
