What are the most significant differences between
Solar Genesis® Plasma Grow Lighting and traditional grow lighting?
Solar Genesis® Plasma Grow Lighting
1.Generates full spectrum light energy (within PAR)
2.Better suited for shorter plants
3.Offers quality over quantity
-
4.Utilizes half the amount of energy
-
5.Generates very little heat
-
6.No air conditioning required
Traditional Grow Lighting
1. Generates limited spectrum light energy (within PAR)
2.Better suited for taller plants
3.Offers quantity over quality
4.Utilizes twice the amount of energy
-
7.Generates excessive heat
-
6.Air conditioning required
Q: Is Solar Genesis® Plasma Grow Lighting intended to replace traditional grow lighting?
A: Solar Genesis® Plasma Grow Lighting is not intended to replace traditional grow lighting, merely an alternative based on application.
Q: Why is the additional heat that traditional grow lighting generates such a big deal?
A: Temperature and humidity play a big part in plant development. Excessive heat increases transpiration and reduces the amount of moisture in the air & soil (including nutrients) which are essential for healthy plant growth. Climate control is also required for traditional grow lighting which in turn adds operating expenses that negatively affect your bottom line
Q: How long will Solar Genesis® Plasma Grow Lighting last in comparison to traditional grow lighting?
A: Solar Genesis® Plasma Grow Lighting is designed to last approximately 30,000 hours. Traditional grow lighting is advertised to last 20,000 hours but most growers replace them annually to compensate for bulb degradation.
Q: What is the optimum distance above the plant canopy for optimum plant growth?
A: The closer you can get grow lighting to the plant canopy the more energy you transfer to the plant. Solar Genesis® Plasma Grow Lighting generates such a small amount of heat it can be placed very close to the plant canopy. That would be disastrous utilizing traditional grow lighting due to the tremendous amount of radiant heat generated.
Q: How does Solar Genesis® VI - LED / Plasma Grow Light compare to other LED grow lights currently on the market?
A: Most currently available LED Grow Lights contain just a few wavelengths (colors) and claim that other wavelengths are of very little value to the plant so they are ignored. Solar Genesis® VI - LED / Plasma Grow Light incorporates light emitting plasma technology with high output LED’s specifically designed to provide more full spectrum light energy (within PAR) than any other grow light on the planet.
Q: Can Solar Genesis® Plasma Grow Lighting be used in commercial applications?
A: Utilizing Solar Genesis® Plasma Grow Lighting to augment the sun allows commercial growers the option to extend the grow day (and grow season) increasing overall profit margin.
