We don't offer phone support. So I've read a ton of articles and no one seems to have a general consensus on exactly how many foot candles and/or LUX is recommended for plants under an LED. I use them and have sold many to our members. Cadmium whiskers (like tin whiskers) grow spontaneously and are capable of causing electrical failures ranging from parametric deviations to sustained plasma arcing that can result in catastrophic short circuits.â. I received my package without a hitch. Been growing 25 years with hps. I am feeling pretty much like I have been ripped off. […], Robert, Electricity aside, they also simply cost much less than LED lights. :D. I too have this issue. the galaxyhydro are producing results beyond my expectations, also very low heat output, you just want to make sure that you have height to work with because they need to have about 18" between light and the top of the plant, My plants are s12 to 14 inches tall. An open forum @ ILGM is NOT where you go to complain! However it's noted that in tests between tomatoes, mini cucumbers and bell peppers, the optimal light recipe was not the same for all plants, and varied depending on both the crop and the region, so currently they must optimize LED lighting in greenhouses based on trial and error. You can, I have the King Plus 1000W and it says to only run it 12-14 hrs in the instructions for the vegetative state but in the ILGM grow bible, it says to keep the light on for up to 24 hrs. Did […]. T, HID lights will become very hot, but good LED lights feel cool when you touch them, even after running for several hours. A “long-day” is one in which the photoperiod is no less than 14 hours. This is simply because LED lights need to be kept further away from the plants than CFLs do. Never use over 18 hours of light's "on" [27], In tests conducted by Philips Lighting on LED grow lights to find an optimal light recipe for growing various vegetables in greenhouses, they found that the following aspects of light affects both plant growth (photosynthesis) and plant development (morphology): light intensity, total light over time, light at which moment of the day, light/dark period per day, light quality (spectrum), light direction and light distribution over the plants. […]. Each receptor is able to sense different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. Ceramic metal halide lights are started with a pulse-starter, just like other "pulse-start" metal halides. I would check the footprint of those lights and I would also confirm that they are actually 200 watts each. Your plants won’t grow as healthy or efficiently with any LED light, since only LED grow lights provide the full spectrum that the plants need to reach their full potential. How do LED lights measure up to other types of grow lights? I suggest you buy a 400 or 600 watt Ipower digital lamp system for 112,00-170 dollars. An open forum @ ILGM is NOT where you go to complain! email, Mayfield, I believe you would benefit more from a wider range of growers and opinions on LED lighting, if you joined our support forum […], Kiri, In recent years LED technology has been introduced into the grow light market. Metal halide bulbs need to be replaced about once a year, compared to HPS lights which last twice as long. Therefore, if you want to grow marijuana that ends up with a successful yield, you will need LED lights that include and use the full spectrum. NASA has tested LED grow lights for their high efficiency in growing food in space for extraterrestrial colonization. Please don't "help" me by explaining the difference in lumens, par, and FC/ Lux or with a ton of formulas- THANK YOU! This efficiency is because they don’t burn filament. "High performance of vegetables, flowers, and medicinal plants in a red-blue LED incubator for indoor plant production." But where to buy lamps with white leds? ?I have 80 plants in 1 gal.pots, Earl, I would check the footprint of those lights and I would also confirm that they are actually 200 watts each. Earl, [11], Although all HID lamps work on the same principle, the different types of bulbs have different starting and voltage requirements, as well as different operating characteristics and physical shape. At a minimum, most or all of the different components will come from China. I'm fully aware of PAR and lumens, and the problems associated with LED lights too close to the plant (bleaching). 5W is for the lighting gap between COB, the lighting spread will be much even , better than just COB. If you compare using an LED light for the same purposes as you would an HID light, using the LED light will save you about 40% of the energy consumption. Therefore, using both should give you the best of both worlds. These lights get mixed together to form one perfect white light. Rosey, You started out asking about a light for seedlings. You should look into the King Plus series of LEDs. After a ton of research, I settled on Fluence and I have ZERO REGRETS!!!! The grow quality is pretty nice. LED has finally arrived. Most simply, LED lights use a current passing through a semiconductor to produce light. To put it simply, the 3-Watt LED can run at 1 Watt, but the 1-Watt LED cannot run at more than 1 Watt because that is its limit. The diodes used in initial LED grow light designs were usually 1/3 watt to 1 watt in power. Help please! The majority of LED lights with chips that are 3W or larger, however, should be at least 1.5 feet away. This junction is where the n-type and p-type semiconductor materials emit energy, resulting in the color of the light. If you want to find a lot of opinions; I usggest you join ILGM forum and ask your question there. In addition to producing lower levels of light, mismatched bulbs and ballasts will stop working early, or may even burn out immediately.[11]. What's not to like? Some claim to be able to match the PAR spectrum more accurately than a white LED. Best information I've read-- but still confused by what leds to use if I have 2 or 3 seedlings. They are well-equipped with cooling systems such as fans or heatsinks as well, which allows for an easier time of keeping the grow room at a temperature that isn’t too high (for the plants as well as the grower). æ¬ç¤¾ ã024-0061 岩æçåä¸å¸å¤§éãåä¸ç®4-22 mjãã« telï¼0197-63-7878 faxï¼0197-65-1673 鿣®å¶æ¥æ ã030-0846 The majority of HPS lamps while providing good growth, offer poor color rendering index (CRI) rendering. Will your recommendations in this article of 4 inches be all right with an LED? Password Recovery. Blue spectrum light may trigger a greater vegetative response in plants.[4][5][6]. An obligate response means that the plant will only flower if grown under a certain photoperiod.[41]. Click to see our best Video content. I have had nothing but good luck and grows with your seeds . You can contact them here. Post latewood in the title. Remember that you can always ask the manufacturer for recommendations yourself. The propensity of Cadmium to grow whiskers appears to be lower than that of zinc and especially tin. My only concern is I live in North UK and the climate is cold so would I be better off going with high quality MH/HPS set up. Please enter your username or email address. The brightest version is the T5. For high powered LED lights, heat sinks should include aluminum, copper, thermoplastics, or even graphite (for the most expensive option). Join our free grow support forum and get help […], Shannon, This varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. However, it is the number of hours of darkness that affects a plant’s response to day length. or expanded clay – I❤️GM, Anna, High-pressure sodium lights are a more efficient type of HID lighting than metal halides. Pro-Glow, King-Led and other listed companies still offer lamps with combiantion of red-blue-orange-white-IR leds. NEW. Could you recommend an LED light that isn't industrially sized nor is too expensive? Regular LEDs use 30-60 milliwatts (mW), but higher powered LEDs use around 500 mW, or even more. For instance, if you are trying to keep the upfront costs of your grow room as low as possible, using an HPS grow light during the flowering phase makes the most sense. Bob, Mirrors will create hot spots and burn leaves, possibly cause a fire, etc...Bad idea. Thank you […], I was thinking of getting two King plus 1200 watt for my 8x4 tent but I've only seen one other posts which was actually nice for auto flowers. And also; can you suggest an App that will test a light's quality and tell me the lumens etc? If you buy LED lights, you must always check the manufacturer’s information to know what “rules” to follow. Great space. It is a plant grow light and the brand is Feit electric TM. Using cf's for 8hrs at night at the moment which use more power than we have. Sabzalian, Mohammad R., Parisa Heydarizadeh, Morteza Zahedi, Amin Boroomand, Mehran Agharokh, Mohammad R. Sahba, and Benoît Schoefs. I would like to help you find a cheap LED that would work but, there isn't such a thing. [10], Usable life span for compact fluorescent grow lights is about 10,000 hours. If you have high-quality LEDs, they should have heat sinks that keep the heat under control. Jeden Morgen wecken die Muckefuck-Moderatoren das SAW-Land mit einer perfekten Mischung aus Information und Entertainment für einen schönen Start in den Tag. LEDs seem to be less of a hassle […]. Simply put, these LED lights are not recommended over HPS or MH system lights, making it not worth the money at all. 3:2 red:blue ratio, or sometimes as their peak irradiance, e.g. A cathode may be considered "cold" if it emits more electrons than can be supplied by thermionic emission alone. iPower GLSETX600DHMWING20 600-Watt Light Digital Dimmable HPS MH Grow Light System for Plant - Wing Set You should look into the King Plus series of LEDs. Local grow Stor sells gavida im Retooling my rooms i looking for info on gavida led, I have one pot plant in a 5 gal. Since HPS grow lights deliver more energy in the red part of the light spectrum, they may promote blooming and fruiting. LED companies "the good ones" look for leaf surface temperature, and proper light spectrum. Like standard fluorescent lights, they are useful for propagation and situations where relatively low light levels are needed. Even better yet. [39] I have a 1.2m x 1.2m x 2m grow tent and am waiting on seeds from ILGM. Almost all Pro growers and experts use a T5 fluorescent lamp. You can expect between 50,000 and 60,000 hours of working use of an LED light, compared to between 2,000 and 3,000 hours with an HID light. Amen. LED grow lights have not always been popular with marijuana growers. LED grow lights are composed of multiple individual light-emitting diodes, usually in a casing with a heat sink and built-in fans. And, if so what height should the light be? High-output fluorescent lights produce twice as much light as standard fluorescent lights. Regards & Thanks from Australia! Stats: 800 lumens Greetings fellow enthusiasts, Out of curiosity.... what size wattage is sufficient for a small 1 plant grow? concept ã¢ã¯ã»ã¹ h.lã®æã ã客æ§ãã¹ã¿ãããé¢ããåããã¹ã¦ã®äººã®å¤§åãªäººçã®æ¯æ¸¯ã§ããããã æ ªå¼ä¼ç¤¾ã¢ã¯ã»ã¹h.lã«ãé¢å¿ãæã£ã¦ããã ããããã¨ããããã¾ãã Grow lights either attempt to provide a light spectrum similar to that of the sun, or to provide a spectrum that is more tailored to the needs of the plants being cultivated. You're giving ME […]. Because their light mimics the color spectrum of the sun, some growers find that plants look more pleasing under a metal halide than other types of HID lights such as the HPS which distort the color of plants. Classified as “Class 1 LED product,” LEDs are considered a safer lighting option. A cold cathode does not necessarily operate at a low temperature: it is often heated to its operating temperature by other methods, such as the current passing from the cathode into the gas. Will your recommendations in this article of 4 inches be all right with an LED? iPower GLSETX600DHMWING20 600-Watt Light Digital Dimmable HPS MH Grow Light System for Plant - Wing Set If you choose a lens that is too wide, it will cover a greater area but will be less efficient because less light energy will be hitting your plants, and instead, will just be wasted. The spectrum used varies, however, white LED grow lights are designed to emit similar amounts of red and blue light with the added green light to appear white. [14] One common example of a pulse start metal halide is the ceramic metal halide (CMH). I think you will find it is a matter of storing well; As you did, and expertise in propagation. So not true, first of all they claim delivery avg time 5 days, but anywhere between 5 and 25 days, if you don't get anything after 25 days to contact them. Short-day plants are those that flower when the day length is less than a critical duration. AT LAST RECOGNIZE THE POSSIBILITY AND SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE BACKING THE USE LED, Ok so I have a GE grow light it is a PAR38 32w non-dim 50 high output ppt I was wondering what would be my outcome from seed to finish or do I need to change my lighting to something […], Ok so I have a GE grow light it is a PAR38 32w non-dim 50 high output ppt I was wondering what would be my outcome from seed to finish or do I need to change my lighting to something else I have it in a 4x4 room with the one light on it, Finally not a biased article. 2) This is the best combination of 5W and COB, both has high efficiency. – I❤️GM, if I only have one what do I need some help please? A plant that does not receive the right quality of light may exhibit physiological differences when compared to the same plants grown under optimal lighting conditions. Please join our forum. Although they would not have been a reasonable choice for marijuana growers five or ten years ago, they are becoming more popular every day. In order to avoid some of the common problems that occur with new LED growers, let’s look at some important facts and common problems with LED lights. [42] Therefore, plant biologists often quantify PAR using the number of photons in the 400-700 nm range received by a surface for a specified amount of time, or the Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density (PPFD). It uses zinc selenide (ZnSE). My order was placed in April and we are heading towards the end of May.

Lol and yes R.powered mixed into soil works !!! In particular, because LED grow lights are relatively high power, LED grow lights are often equipped with cooling systems, as low temperature improves both the brightness and longevity. Durable materials and built; Good quality LED grow ⦠LEDs usually last for 50,000 - 90,000 hours until LM-70 is reached. Sometimes they will appear dim or dead to people because of the far-red part of the spectrum, which is 710 to 850 nanometers and is hard to see with many people’s eyes. What's not to like? Hi, I'm fairly new to growing and was wondering about the wattage in an led light. […], Gangeman, which should cover the area. Query; I've hung my LED's to test them out and have noticed they have little bulbs that are red, blue and white - although the white ones are in smaller numbers than […]. LED-Grow ist eher was für Profis und Leute mit zu viel Geld. Ground Mount Solar. Thanks! Help what am I doing wrong? [11] There are several different types of HID lights including mercury vapor, metal halide, high pressure sodium and conversion bulbs. I suggest you join our forum, suppoer.ilovegrowingmarijuana.com and look in the ILGM Podcst category under :"growing with Fishes", and find the Spectrum King episodes. And how many? These lights are considered multi-colored white LEDs, or RGB LEDs, and are the most effective type of WLEDs. Round, a British man from Marconi Labs who, in 1907, was the first to experiment with, and observe electroluminescence. When should I harvest to get the best results, and best buzz, although I realize not the best buzz, Gangeman, My advice to you is to cull that male before it spreads pollen around and ruin female plants. Without knowing your budget, this is the best advice I can give you. The DLI takes into account the PPFD and the total number of hours a plant is exposed to that PPFD to get the total quantity of photons per day, in units of mol m−2d−1. I just want to maximize yield for 2 plants. 450 nm blue light and 660 nm red light. LED grow lights have come a long way in a very short amount of time. Can I use a 30 watt,450nm spectrum for my marijuana plant? Thanks, Sorry don, I meant; "I suggest". As LEDs become less expensive and more efficient, an interest in studying light quality has risen in the field of plant science. I'm just looking for someone with experience who can give an approximate number that the canopy should be getting for the 12/12 cycle. I bought 2 x 600W LED's and 1 x 300W off eBay. R.Mayfield, Mayfield, This is not true! Many growers have specific requirements for their situation that make either LED or MH/HPS lighting a more logical choice. Happy hunting :), Best information I've read-- but still confused by what leds to use if I have 2 or 3 seedlings. LED lights also do not release the large amount of heat that CFLs do. LED grow lights do not usually require a separate ballast and can be plugged directly into a standard electrical socket. When you shop for an LED light for your marijuana plants, you should be aware of the exact spectrum that it covers, and know whether it coincides with the PAR spectrum as closely as possible. High pressure sodium (HPS) and metal halide (MH) were and are still common supplemental lighting options for greenhouses and some sole-source operations. While they don’t feel warm because they aren’t emitting infrared radiation, the high powered LEDs are actually less efficient and, therefore, waste more heat than low powered ones. One of the biggest questions to consider is whether you should choose an LED light setup or one of the other options for an indoor grow setup. As far as an app to measure your lumens. Fluorescent lights come in many form factors, including long, thin bulbs as well as smaller spiral shaped bulbs (compact fluorescent lights). å½ç¤¾ã¯ç¤¾å¡å ¨å¡ãå¦ä½ãªãæ¥åã«ããã¦ã 責任ã¨èªä¿¡ã®ããä»äºããã¾ãã ãããæã£ã¦ç¤¾ä¼ã«å¥ä»ãéå ãã¦ããã¾ãã Happy growing :), Thanks for this highly informative article. They used to only be available in the red, but now they are available in any color, ranging from ultraviolet to infrared wavelengths. Historically, light quantity was expressed in units of W m−2, lumens, or lux. In general, if a plant does not get enough light, it will become stunted, have reduced pigmentation, or begin shade-avoidance response. High-pressure sodium lights have a long usable bulb life, and six times more light output per watt of energy consumed than a standard incandescent grow light. HPS lights may cause distinctive infrared and optical signatures, which can attract insects or other species of pests; these may in turn threaten the plants being grown. LED lights particularly need more specific current and heat management than do HID lights, when they are powerful lights to be used to light entire large areas. My experience with Amare 450 LED has been spectacular! I recommend you look into Ipower digital lamp systems. Let’s go over some of the major pros and cons that come with using LED lights. They've shown that LED light affects disease resistance, taste and nutritional levels, but as of 2014 they haven't found a practical way to use that information.[28]. HIDs need to be situated several feet above the tops of your marijuana plants, for example, while LEDs can be kept really close to them (between one foot and 18 inches). Now i think i will just bite the bullet and pay the higher upfront costs. Johmmy. The typical output of an LED light is around 160 degrees. If your plants are starting to appear burnt on just their top part, you should probably try moving your LEDs further away. Generally speaking, LED lights should be between twelve and eighteen inches above the canopy of your plants (although this should be cross-checked with the specific manufacturer) while CFLs just need a minimum of a few inches. Shenandoah, While many growers choose either LEDs or MH/HPS lights, the fact is that combining the two might provide the most advantageous setup you can find. Best to start over. Good luck with the grow! Have a great day. Long stemmed and maybe five to six sets of leaves.. Indoor using a Sylvania gro pro and two of the LED red blue spectrum lights. PLace the lamp as close as you can get it without making the back of your hand "HOT" if hand is placed palm down at top of plant. The irradiance of PAR can be expressed in units of energy flux (W/m2), which is relevant in energy-balance considerations for photosynthetic organisms.
