| LED Plant Characteristics |
Plants grown under LED Grow Master lighting will exhibit different
characteristics than plants grown under HID or other traditional plant lighting.
For example, instead of an 18 inch high HPS plant with 10-14 branching
segments, you may have 12 inch plants with 10-14 branching segments. This is
a desirable trait that allows for more plants to be grown in a given area. The
large size of plants grown under traditional indoor lighting is due to stretching of
the plants reaching for quality wavelengths.
More than 95% of the light emitted form our LED grow lights is in the peak
absorption range, meaning the plants are able to absorb and use the
wavelengths provided for growth and health. High heat light sources such as
HPS and Halide emit mostly heat. For every 1000 watts of electricity used-
approximately 750 watts is heat. When you remove this heat you have
dramatically changed your grow environment. We often recommend a hybrid
system to ease the transition.
Plants grown under LED grow lights will grow slower without the intense heat
of a radiant light source applied directly to the plant canopy. LED plants exhibit
natural growth rates (as one would expect outdoors). To speed up the process-
many growers are using their HID lighting for short periods of time throughout
the day to heat up the canopy and then running our LED grow lights 24 hours.
This system has the ability to increase growth rates and deliver a 75% decrease
in electricity used when compared to a straight HID system.

| Plants will grow differently under different grow lights. LED grow lights and HID lighting is no exception. |
