7 Tips for Using
High-Intensity
LEDs

High-intensity LEDs are not plug-and-play. Switching from HID means rethinking your environment, your feed, your defoliation schedule, and more. This guide covers the 7 variables that determine whether your LED transition increases yield — or costs you a crop.

• Why LEDs demand you run your room 7–10°F warmer than HID
• How pushing 900+ μmol early in veg changes plant structure
• The right inflow EC range when photon density increases
• How to use spectrum tunability across Spring, Summer & Autumn settings
• Why you must dim lights immediately after defoliation
• How to ramp intensity in 1% increments to protect each cultivar
• End-of-cycle temperature drops that unlock color and bag appea
