So, how does the Spectra LED light spectrum grow light work?
In a nutshell it is a series of 9 different colored 3 watt LEDs (Light Emitting
Diodes) that emit 12 wavelengths of light in all visible colors of the light
spectrum. These lights are specially calibrated to interact with one another
and target the absorption peaks of chlorophyll A, chlorophyll B, carotenoids,
phytochrome, cryptochromes and phototropins.
The chlorophyll is vital for photosynthesis, as you most likely know, and absorbs
light most strongly in the visible spectrum of blue and red, but also in all
other colors of visible light, even a tiny amount of green light. The cartenoids
also absorb light most strongly in the blue/green spectrum, but they also serve
to protect the chlorophyll from photo damage. Phytochrome is a photoreceptor,
a pigment that plants use
to detect light. It is sensitive to light in the red and far-red region
of the visible
spectrum. Many flowering
plants use it to regulate the time of flowering based
on the length of day and night (photoperiodism)
and to set circadian
rhythms. It also regulates other responses including the germination of seeds,
elongation of seedlings, the size, shape and number of leaves,
the synthesis of chlorophyll,
and the straightening of the epicotyl or hypocotyl hook
of dicot seedlings.
Other plant photoreceptors include cryptochromes and phototropins,
which are sensitive to light in the blue and ultra-violet regions
of the spectrum.
By calibrating my lights to target these absorption peaks, I have been able
to consistently produce the highest quality crops. I cannot reveal the exact
nanometers of light in my formula as that is a trade secret, but it has been
reached through years of careful experimentation and study. My lights put out
light that is 95% absorbed by the plant, meaning that nearly no light is wasted.
When compared to metal halide or HPS lights, the Spectra series of LED grow lights
outperforms the competition and saves energy. Less than 20% of the light put
out by these traditional grow lights is absorbed by the plant, meaning that the
vast majority of the light energy is wasted. These lights also put out less light
in the red and orange spectrums, which means that my light, once again, outperforms
these older options. Combine this with the fact that LEDs are inherently better
than traditional lights in that they are longer lasting, less expensive, and
better for the environment, and it is clear why they are the next step in the
evolution of indoor growing.
If these facts are not enough to convince the serious growers out there, come
into our forums and have a discussion with some of the growers that have actually
used my lights and get a firsthand account of their worth.
