How The Viparspectra 600W Grow Light Helps Your Plant

Plants need light to photosynthesize, which allows them to gain the nutrients to grow healthily. However, not all levels of light are healthy for your plants. The PAR output of a light source indicates how much of your light is providing healthy food. As your plant grows, the PAR output should increase. The VIPARSPECTRA 600W has a great PAR output and can provide a value of over 900 during the flowering stage. For this reason, you can expect great blooms.

Your plant will also need different light intensities at different stages, and the VIPARSPECTRA 600W grow light allows you to switch the intensity easily. It is also a full-spectrum light, meaning it contains more than just red and blue LEDs. While vegetative plants require more blue light and flowering plants require more red light, oversaturating them with only two lights can cause underproduced plants. For healthier growth and sturdier roots, having a full spectrum of light is best to help your plants intake nutrients efficiently.

Installing Your Viparspectra 600W Grow Light

The Viparspectra 600W provides the cords and hanging kit necessary for installing your light. It also includes daisy-chain ports so that you can hang multiple units side by side. The U.S. power cable can serve as a power plug and a daisy-chain cable. You won’t need any additional cords to install the grow light. Plug the power cord into the second light’s outlet to connect multiple units.

It’s best to choose a grow tent of 2×2 or 3×3 feet for one unit. However, if you install multiple units, you can easily expand your operation with a bigger tent. You will need three Viparspectra 600W grow lights for a 4×4 grow tent.

The coverage area of your light will be determined by how you position your grow light. The greater the coverage area you have, the less light intensity. It is important to find the right balance of intensity and coverage, so your plant can have its desired level for optimal growth. Depending on the type of your plant, the following coverage is recommended:

• Vegetative plants: 9 square feet, or 3×3 feet
• Flowering plants: 6.25 square feet, or 2.5×2.5

Placing your grow light at different heights will accomplish the adequate coverage. Depending on the stage your plant is at, the following heights are recommended:

• Acclimation period: between 40 to 44 inches
• Young Vegetative plants: between 36 to 40 inches
• Vegetative plants: between 28 to 36 inches
• Flowering plants: between 20 to 24 inches

Conclusion

All-round, the Viparspectra 600W grow light has many qualities, is affordable, and comes with great customer service. With all the accessories needed for installing and daisy-chain capabilities, this grow light is great for those starting to grow with intentions to expand later.
