FROM THERE FAQS
polar Genesis® Plasma Grow Lighting
1.Generates more full-spectrum nutritional light-energy than any other grow light on the planet
2.Better suited for shorter plants
Traditional Grow Lighting
1. Generates limited spectrum light energy
2.Better suited for taller plants
3.Offers quantity over quality
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 fairly close to the plant canopy. That would be disastrous utilizing traditional grow lighting due to the tremendous amount of radiant heat generated.
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.
