Reviewing the Galaxy Hydro 300W LED: The Significance of Red and Blue LED light

Hydro culture studies provide evidence that red and blue LED light offers more effective development and growth for indoor hydroponics and that this light intensity and spectra can make the plant sturdier, greener and overall better quality when controlled by the grower.

The LED Grow Plant Light 300w Hydroponic Plant Grow Lamp fulfills many of these requirements. This is a lamp that is made with less white than blue and red light, which means that if the plants aren’t as bushy as you want, you might want to consider opting for this lamp instead of those that have less red and blue and more white light.

This lamp is much sturdier and better-built than many of its counterparts on the market. It’s reasonably priced, weighs about 5.5 pounds and measures 12 x 8 x 2 inches. It also features a 2-year warranty and there is no maintenance cost.

The light is bright with an excellent IR glow and high power 3W chips, allowing for low energy costs. This product has the best red to blue light ratio, which improves the growth speed of your weed.

The Advantages

  • Optimal brightness
  • More red and blue light chips than white
  • Sturdy, quality build
  • Low power consumption
  • IR for better photosynthesis
  • Lower heat supply needed due to integrated fans

The lamp’s view angles are 90 and 120 degrees, allowing you to adjust according to where you’ve put your plants. It’s hard to see the IR light with your naked eye, but it does work, there’s no doubt. IR light is crucial in the flowering and seeding stage of the marijuana.

We recommend keeping your lights on between 10 and 16 hours a day. The height should be between 19 and 59 inches depending on the growth phase of the plant.

This light is great value for money, ensuring that much-needed boost for your plants. The red and blue intensity can give the plants the needed flavor to make them stand out. The cord is long enough to reach most power outlets and the frame is sturdy and ready to plug in. Another extra is the easy clip on feature because you can adjust the lamp to different sections when you need to.

Lighting & Temperature

If you want to know which light would be best considering a small cost increase for factors like power usage, heat, and lens directionality, we can tell you that LED lights don’t burn. That’s because they don’t generate much heat.

90-degree lens or view angle means the light comes straight down, if it’s 120 degrees, it angles out more. A 3×3 area is perfectly served by a single 300W. A LED light will, as a rule, have an extremely long life cycle.

This lamp is good for about a 24″ square space. Light penetrates less if it’s higher than that. It’s great if you want to maximize the production of an indoor room of about 5 square feet, because it draws actual wattage at about 130. The only modes are off and on.

It is equivalent to 300W, which means it is theoretically as effective as a 300W light bulb. For a 5 square feet space, we recommend passive intake venting and a small circulation fan.

We also recommend keeping it around 20 inches above the plant canopy in the vegetation stage and around 11″ in the flowering stage.

The best temperature to grow weed at is between 75-81 in summer and 68-78 in winter. The atmosphere should be as close to that in a natural environment as possible. This light is enough to grow weed all the way to flowering.

Male vs. Female Plants

If you want as many female plants as possible, start by buying fully feminized seeds. An alternative to this would be eliminating all the male plants before they pollinate. High humidity helps in increasing the growth rate of female plants while low humidity increases male plant growth.

High temperature is helpful for male plant growth while low temperature is good for female plants. Red spectrum light energy boosts the growth rate of male plants and blue spectrum light benefits female ones.

High nitrogen levels are good for male plants, while low level or nitrogen produces and nourishes female plants effectively. Finally, high potassium levels encourage the growth of male plants and vice versa for female plants.

Look for a small structure like a penis at the junction of the stem when the plants are past the seedling stage. A penis will indicate a male plant, while female plants will have “balls” that look like balls. Destroy the male plant before it fertilizes the female if you want stronger weed.
