12/21/2023 0 Comments California lightworks solarsystem 550It switches off the blue and red LEDs leaving the plants in a natural white light. This plant viewing mode is simply amazing. You can start at 10-15% power with seedlings (using just Blue and White). Full power was only really needed from week 3-4 of bloom, so you are saving energy during veg growth too. On full power the SolarSystem 550 has a maximum power draw of 400w. My LED grow room used much less power than the 600W HPS room, its got to be better for the environment. Plants are easier to look after, and its better for the environment. Cannabis grown with LED need less water per day due to cooler grow temperatures and reduced transpiration.LED is therefore easier to work with in summer months, hot countries and smaller indoor grow tents, less air extraction is needed. Its enough to keep the grow room warm without making it too hot. Growing with LED produced much less heat than HPS.LED produced vigorous, healthy plants with beautiful dark green leaves – like most good LED’s.LED produced more compact plants, less stretching than HPS – no elongated stems.If you have the SolarSystem 550 on full power it should be at least 45-50cm from the top of the canopy.īut please keep in mind that each strain can react differently to high light levels. I expected to use a distance of around 35 – 40 cm but this was not enough distance. I had light burn (some call it light bleaching) on some buds. Unfortunately I didn’t succeed – (during the 3rd week in the flowering phase I was not home and the plants grew too close to the light. Hanging the lights at the right distance to avoid light burn and stress? It is all about identifying the ‘sweet spot’.I put the light at 50%/50%/0% (%Blue/%White/%Red) for the first day, to see how they were reacting to the light module, that seemed fine so I put it on 100/100/0 the next day, I put the light at 30-35cm, this seemed to be a good distance at this stage. Which spectrum settings do I need to use? Because I got the light at the end of the growth phase I only used growth settings for a few days.It has both a manual and program mode, you can play with the spectrum for both growth and bloom, there is also a sunrise and sunset option and last but not least the ‘natural light plant viewing mode’… all this together in one LED module is absolutely unique and something I was hoping to see for a long time. For me personally, the possibilities with the controller was the most interesting part. It has a 400W power draw and should be able to beat a 600W HPS, which sounds interesting to start with! I have heard such promises before so I must admit I questioned if this was really possible. The SolarSystem 550 video, features Craig and George from California Lightworks and explains what their new light is capable of. This blog is about my journey with a Dutch Passion classic Freddy’s Best and the first glimpse of working with the newest LED innovation of today’s market : the SolarSystem 550. Plants seem to actually love the LED light, it is fairly easy to maintain very healthy plants when growing with LED, THC production always seems better under LED and the terpenes seem to have a stronger presence as well. This was an offer I just couldn’t refuse, I started with growing with LED a few years ago, until now I’ve grown with a UFO LED, the MS006 (from LED By Passion), the Holographic Series 1, KIND LED and I must say I have always been convinced about growing with LED. I had already started germination and the pre-growth phase when I was contacted by Dutch Passion if I wanted to test one of ‘ LED By Passion ‘ latest LED grow light, the SolarSystem 550. This weeks review of SolarSystem 550 LED growlight with Dutch Passion Freddy’s Best comes from experienced Dutch Passion grower Antonio.Ī long term Dutch Passion enthusiast recommend Freddy’s Best to me, he told me it was Dutch Passion’s most interesting and strongest variety, so I had high hopes for this one.
