Should I get Co2 with this system?

Co2 will greatly enhance your yields and quality of your crop. Once you try co2 you wont want to grow without it. Co2 is like puting your plants on steroids. We supply you with two options of co2 infusion; co2 bucket system and co2 tank and regulator. Overall the co2 tank and regulator is the best way to go but you must refill the tank every 3 months or so at either a local hydro shop or welding supply store for about $20. The co2 bucket system is good for people who are not near a co2 refill facility, but the bucket system has two drawbacks. First you need to refill the bucket every 2-3 month which costs over $100. Second you cannot get as accurate amounts of co2 in the grow box as you can with the tank and regulator. The bucket system may be initially less expensive but the co2 tank and regulator will save you money over the long run. It is also important to note that co2 will only need to be released when the lights are on.

The Strategy Grow System is the most advanced horticultural grow system currently available, utilizing a high discharge 240 watt LED grow light (upgradable to 300w) and a T5 6500k vegetative grow light (upgradable to glow panel 45) in separate vegetative/flowering chambers. You can now start and veg your plants in the vegetative chamber and move them to the flowering chamber when you are ready to begin flowering. The Strategy Grow System eliminates the wait time in between the vegetative stage and flowering stages of plant growth, allowing you to start seeds in the upper chamber while the plants in the lower chamber are finishing the flowering process.

Plug It In, Plant The Seed, and GROW!!

The Strategy Grow System produces very little heat due to the utilization of the latest LED grow light technology. The small amounts of heat produced by the T5 and LED light is quickly exited through the ventilation system which is composed of three brush-less fans which produce virtually no noise and disperse the air within the grow system in less than half a second, providing optimal atmospheric c02 levels and dispersing oxygenated waste materials which can harm your plants.

With the Strategy Grow System you no longer have to worry about your home catching on fire due to ridiculously hot lights or loud ventilation fans which sound like a hair dryer. Our system uses only the latest in horticultural technology, and because of our wholesale business connections we are able to offer this product for a very low price.

As Easy As 1-2-3...

240 watt High Intensity Grow Light- The 240w LED grow light is designed and built by USA LED Light Systems, a company in the USA specializing in LED grow lights. Recent testing shows that high powered LEDs are surpassing 600w and 1000w HPS grow lights at overall plant growth and production due to their ability to give off only usable light spectrums for photosynthesis. LEDs also do give off barely any heat, which allows your plants to get closer to the light where it is more powerful. LED grow boxes can also be easily rigged to use CO2 since the ventilation fans can be turned off without it becoming too hot for the plants. If you are looking for a step above the rest the 300w upgrade is for you. Your end product will be extremely dense and yields will be far better than a 600w HPS. We only use grow lights designed and engineered in the USA, and we do not use cheap Chinese knockoffs. Our grow lights come with a one year warranty so you can rest assured we will take care of you long after the sale.

**NOW COMES WITH A 240w LED Grow light instead of 120w!!**

HYDROPONIC LED 101 – Please Read

* Why buy from the USA? Buyer beware, buy from China and wait up to 5 weeks for shipping, and if and when the light is defective, you must pay to ship back to China to claim warranty (if any).

* Never buy from any company you can not talk to. 1-800-607-2516 We are not just an Internet company selling products we do not know anything about. We are a brick and mortar Hydro distributor, call us and find out.

* I see ads for 5band, 6band and more bands, why would I want a 2-3 band LED? More bands does not mean a better light, these spectrums are the most efficient and proven wavelenghts for flowering. We sell a 6-band also, but for flowering, this is the best light we have tried.

* I live in Europe, will this light work here? Worldwide voltage, no import tax, UK plugs available, we have locations in the UK and Australia!

* Why are you the best company to order this from? With over 6000 satisfied customers and 100% feedback, we pride ourselves on customer service and providing the best Hydroponic equipment in the business. Just google us on the forums!

* How Many Plants will this light cover? We do not exaggerate any claims. Coverage is limited by the physical size of the unit. Our suggested coverage for this light is about 4 sq. ft. Any 90w or 180w LED light claiming to cover more area means the seller does not know what they are talking about.

* How does this light compare with HID lighting performance? We sell HID lighting too, so there is no use in us claiming anything that is not 100% sure. LED lights are more money up front, but you save on Electric consumption, cooling costs (which are huge) and bulb replacement. The typical error made is that people do not use enough LEDs. With enough lighting, these 2w LEDs will produce a great yield. Typically 10% less than a comparable HID system but with faster tomato flowering and lowered operational costs. If you are not with your grow, I personally do not like the idea of an HID light burning unattended.

* Does this light put off much heat? Not at all, you can actually let the plant touch the light, although it's not suggested.

* What makes this LED different than others here? Simply put they use better LEDs and are a reliable company. It's just like using a Chinese HPS bulb vs spending the money on a Hortilux bulb. You get what you pay for, this is the only LED we sell in our storefront because it is the only one that has proven its success.

Not all light is created equally. And neither are LED lights! At least not as far as plants are concerned. After discussing this matter with a few PHD professors at Cornell University, we were directed to a few studies. Below is an accurate chart of light spectrum usage by plants.

Details can be found at http://course1.winona.edu/sberg/308s05/Lec-note/15-new.htm

What does this mean for the indoor grower? This is the wavelength spectrum of white light that plants use. So how does this affect our analysis of HID lights? Below are the light output spectrums of the most popular HPS and MH lights in the market.

The graphs speak for themselves. Neither HPS nor MH provide much lumen output under 580nm. This means that the largest portion of lights used by plants 420nm-455nm is not supplied by either light solution. The peak lumen output is 580nm, 595nm & 615nm. As you can see, that translates into a loss of about 83% efficiency when overlaid with the light used by growing plants. Thus, a 40,000 400W HPS bulb translates into 6800 actual usable lumens. These charts are available from the manufacturers and widely distributed, touting that they are closest to the natural light output of the sun. Thing is, plant's don't use all of the sun.

There are mitigating factors. Our friends at Cornell have informed us that a healthy plant gets the most vegetative boost from blue and ultra-violet wavelengths. We have long known this in the industry because traditional success dictated that vegetative growth is done under MH lights (more blue) and flowering is done under HPS (Red) lights. The later in leaf diameter is outlined in the study attached below:

http://www.sae.org/technical/papers/2001-01-2272

The final analysis is that the most successful growth is found at 420nm, 450nm, 630nm and 660nm wavelengths. There are ideally 4 peaks of growth spectrum. Red is slightly more important for flowering but blue produces faster growth and absorption. It is also important for plants to get more 600nm-630nm wavelengths because it is reported that those wavelengths determine leaf diameter. Larger leaves will make a larger plant. And who doesn't love a big tomato plant! Larger leaves lead to larger surface area for further absorption, etc, etc.

Since LED's produce a fairly uniform output +/- 10nm we concluded that given the correct wavelengths, LED's could possible do the job if they lumen output was great enough and they had the correct spectrum.

In our 2009 LED Growlight Showdown, our winner (Lighthouse Hydro) employed a unique LED. After our analysis, we concluded that the reason for the win was the use of a mixture of 630nm UV/Blue LED's rather than the traditional blue 660nm LED's used in all other LED systems tested. This is confirmed from the spectrum usage graphs above.

So in usable lumens we have the 5010 lumen 90w LED from Lighthouse Hydro vs the 400w 6800 lumens of a Sun Agro bulb.

LED= 43 usable lumens / watt HID = 17 usable lumens / watt

Yes, the LED is superior but based on lumens/watt alone a 90w total output is not equivalent to a 400w HID light.

On Lumen output alone, a 90w LED does not match the 400 HID light system. In usable lumens alone the conversion is more like 90w LED = 320w HID (HPS/MH)

**We allow you to select between growing with hydroponics or growing with soil. Soil is much easier to work with and is overall the recommended method for new growers. If you have experience, the hydroponics system will work for you and give excellent results.

Complete Hydroponics System- Allows you to grow your plants via hydroponics DWC (deep water culture) and includes everything you need to start growing eight plants. There are several advantages of growing using hydroponics including faster growth, higher yields, and more control over nutrient concentration. We DO NOT recommend this option for new growers as hydroponics can be far less forgiving than soil, and with a small reservoir the values can fluctuate greatly.

*Grow pots (5)

*PH Tester kit

*PH up/down

*Flora Veg and Bloom Nutrients

*Hydroton Rock

*Rockwool Cubes (5)

*Air Pump

*Bubble Stones (2)

*PPM Meter

Soil Package- The Strategy Grow Box comes with quality soil which is the most important factor for a successful grow. Fox Farm soil is premixed with all necessary elements including perlite which allows oxygen to reach the root system for healthier plants. We also include square containers which stack next to each other and utilize all available space for root development. Round containers waste valuable space because they do not stack together. The more room your plants have to develop a root system, the more they will yield. The soil package includes the following items:

*Four Bags of Fox Farm Ocean Forest Soil

*Eight 4inch square containers

*Eight seed starter cubes

*General Hydroponics Grow and Bloom nutrients

Glow Panel 45 Veg Chamber Grow Light- The Strategy Grow box comes standard with a T-5 26watt veg light, but can be upgraded to a LED Glow Panel 45. The Glow Panel 45 is an extremely efficient vegetative grow light which has been proven through our tests to provide the best overall results.

------------------------------------------------------------

Light Traps- The strategy grow box comes with three fan placements; one in the veg chamber and two in the flowering chamber. Without light traps, the light will shine through the fan holes. If you select the light trap option, the light shining through these holes will be significantly reduced.

------------------------------------------------------------

Carbon Filter- Our 4" carbon filter works by using a very strong inline fan to push the air from the area near the grow box into the carbon filter where it is dispersed into the room odor free. The carbon filter can be used for up to 20 months straight before it needs to be replaced. If you are serious about eliminating odor this is the item you want. On the downside, since a powerful fan is used to push the air through the carbon filter, the fan is not exactly silent like the standard ventilation fans we use, and sounds almost like a hair dryer. These fans make the least amount of noise on the market however, and the carbon filters are made with 100% pure virgin carbon. The filter and fan is placed on the floor beside the grow box and will clear a large room of any strong odors within a few minutes. Very powerful odor elimination tool, but does make noise.

------------------------------------------------------------

-The Strategy Grow System comes with a 100% insulated mylar interior, the most reflective material known to man. Mylar reflects 100% of the light shining on the interior of the grow box back on to your plants as light energy for the production food through the process of photosynthesis. Mylar, originally engineered and developed by NASA, also acts as an excellent source of insulation which prevents any unwanted odor from escaping the system through cracks. All odor and air within the Strategy Grow System is flushed out through the exhaust fan where it can be easily eliminated by means of the included air filter and odor absorbing gel.

The Strategy Grow System comes finely detailed with over 99% of the light being prevented from escaping through light cracks. The detail work includes insulation overlapping, mylar panels, and an assortment of other various methods of blocking the light from escaping.

"What we've found basically is that we are able to limit the amount of color we give to the plants and still have them grow as well as with white light," Goins said. "Being plant physiologists, we know the chlorophyll molecule well enough that we know which wavelengths most efficiently stimulate plant growth, and it turns out to be blue and red. So I don't have to devote energy to green light, and my plant will grow just as well."
