What is the best 500w to 700w LED light right now

Discussion in 'Growing Marijuana Indoors' started by Merlorgan, Nov 10, 2023.

  1. I need help on purchasing a LED light in the 500w-700w range. price range is anything under $620
     
  2. One post is more than sufficient.

    $55 over budget.

    Mammoth 680w Mint White Series.
    Mammoth Lighting offers commercial-grade LED grow …
    Starting at $675, our Mint White Series with Emerald Green Canna Spec offers: Industry-Leading PPFD and Yield: With 432 diodes per bar, we deliver unmatched performance. …
    Green plays a crucial role in photosynthesis. At higher PPFD levels, green light penetrates deep into leaves, enhancing overall photosynthesis. Our proprietary spectrum includes a substantial portion of green light, mimicking nature's wisdom and catering to the high PPFD requirements of crops like cannabis.

    The most important growth factors in Cannabis is light intensity and light spectrum. Mammoth Lighting leads in both. Over 4 years of trial, Mammoth Lighting as perfected the optimal "Canna" Spectrum with a proprietary spectrum blend of 3000k + 5000k + 660nm Deep + 730nm Far Red. The result is a perfect balance of blue and red to maximize growth and yield without incurring too much stretch.

    The new addition of 730nm far red has been proven to speed up flower times and increase yields.

    For example, Dr Bruce Bugbee's (NASA plant scientist) research indicates that far‐red photons (701–750 nm) synergistically interact with shorter wavelength photons to increase leaf photochemical efficiency.

    Bugbee explains that adding far‐red photons to a background of shorter wavelength photons increases canopy photosynthesis that in some ways mimics an increase 400–700 nm photons.

    Far‐red photons by themselves don’t significantly increase photosynthesis, but when they’re added to a pre-existing 400-700 nm spectrum, the combination synergistically creates acceleration of photosynthetic response and other metabolic and morphological changes favorable to cannabis growers.

    Bugbee’s research so far indicates that far red photons, properly combined with other wavelengths, may help cannabis growers reduce bloom phase duration while increasing bloom phase production and profits.

  8. Led light is a led light. I made a post about a 30 dollar light from ebay It kicked ass . 100 watts think i pulled 5 or 6 under it . I would get many of those better to have more lights then just one . Easy adjust height .
    And more posts then one very fun.
     
  9. While some cheap lights can produce decent results, the quoted statement is absolutely 100% not true. Choice of construction materials as well as quality of the diodes and driver all play a huge role in how well and how LONG a light will be of service. They are most certainly NOT equal....not even close.

    Yeah your correct . I should of said qb boards . There all made in china . If the power supply is proper for the panel it will work just fine.
    Old post . Made by me . Cheap 30 dollar led vs a homemade ghetto light 40 dollar sun boards .
    Its here . Its finally here ! OMG led yield difference
