Does more light equal more yield?

We all know that photosynthesis is what makes plants stay healthy and green, but
not everyone is aware that all living things on Earth rely on this process to remain
healthy. After 3 billion years of photosynthesis processing, the earth has formed an
oxygen-rich atmosphere, which consequently supports all complex life’s evolution.

Although we’re unable to sense light with seeing or feeling it, what we do feel is
heat caused by the atom’s excitement. Electrons in the atoms will be excited from
different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum (usually in the range between 380
and 750 NM).

If your cannabis plant has no major problems or illnesses, then the biggest factor
affecting your yields is the light intensity provided.

Light is basically food for your plants. Turning light into energy via photosynthesis is
how your plants get all their energy to grow and produce buds.

More Intense Light = Larger Plants & Fatter Buds = Bigger Yields

After you ’ ve germinated your seeds (or rooted your clones), one of the most
important things to do right from the beginning is ensure that your plants are getting
enough light.

During the vegetative stage, cannabis plants which don’t get enough light will tend
to ‘stretch’ up toward the light with a lot of stem between nodes and leaves.

You need to provide enough light intensity to prevent young cannabis plants from
stretching or growing too tall and falling over. If see that the seedling to the left is
stretching upwards because it is not getting enough light. The plant is trying to
“reach” up towards what it thinks is the sun.

This stretching is not usually a good thing, because these seedings almost always fall
over and will tend to grow into tall lanky plants. Tall, tower-like plants are hard to
give proper light coverage in the flowering stage and will tend to get lower yields in
most indoor setups.

That’s because during the flowering stage (when plant start producing buds), higher
light intensity is what drives the production of buds.

For most small-scale indoor growing setups, finding ways to increase the amount of
light getting to the bud sites throughout the flowering stage is the most
straightforward and effective way to increase your final yields.
In order to grow dense cannabis buds indoors, you need strong grow lights.

So does more light equal more yield? the answer is no!

It’s should be more intense light, lights of the same wattage may also have different
functions, two lights with better utility are more effective than three lights with
normal utility.

There are 3 nice light with better utility recommend for you.

lumatek zeus 600w

The Lumatek Zeus 600W LED is a linear multi-light bar fixture producing PPF of 1380
µmol/s and a Photon Efficacy (fixture efficiency) of 2.3 µmol/J.

The array of LEDs create a uniform spread of light at short distance to the crop
enabling single source grow lighting for multi-layer cultivation systems, single
benches in low rooms and grow tents.

The Zeus is built using high quality Lumatek drivers and top bin LEDs from Osram and
Lumileds Philips generating a full-spectrum light source ideal for veg and flowering
cycles.

For different cultivars, propagation and vegetative growth periods the Zeus may be
dimmed without losing efficiency. The high efficiency and low powered LED
configuration with six LED bars reduces the temperature of the LEDs increasing the
output and improving light maintenance.

Fully equipped with the Latest in High End LED technology from the best of Samsung,
the best of CREE & best from Meanwell. Slim 600H is a massive 41″ x 42″ fixture
which delivers uniform light intensity and promotes uniform growth across your
canopy. Dimming gives you full control of your intensity and allows you to only use
what you need taking efficiency to the next level, reducing btu output and extending
the lifespan of the fixture.

chilled growcraft x6
Home Engineers- Your DIY dream! Save money by building your own light fixture with
easy to follow instructions and videos.

Results- Market-leading efficiency combined with our tunable Yield Max spectrum
equals unmatched performance.

Quality- Highest build & component quality – never sacrificed for profits. ChilLED
grow lights are built to last.

Versatility- Retrofit into your environment with ease. Hands down, ChilLED lights are

LED models are usually built with heatsinks and/or built-in fans to help disperse the
heat evenly without concentrating any heat directly on the plants. Even with these
extra bells and whistles, it’s still important to use an exhaust system to get rid of
extra heat unless it’s naturally cold in the marijuana grow tent.
