You’ve worked hard on your commercial grow space. Like a mad scientist, you test pH levels, precisely measure moisture, and strictly harvest your hemp at its peak maturity.
But when you’re growing large, leafy plants in tight spaces, finding the best lighting for your plants may be your biggest headache. Are your plants getting too little or too much light? Do you need to buy multiple lights to get you from seed to harvest? Can’t one light do it all?
Kind LED Lighting is declaring a resounding, “Yes!” Kind LED invites you to kick up your feet and rest your mind. This trusted brand has recently released the most important innovation in LED grow lamps since, well, LED lights. It’s called the X².
The Kind LED X² Difference
This commercial LED light was designed with the help of motivated engineers, agricultural scientists and hydroponic experts. Kind LED’s X² brought these fields together for revolutionary results: larger, more potent yields and a superior return on investment.
As the legal status of hemp and marijuana continues to relax, more entrepreneurs are trying their hands at commercial grow operations. Fortunately for new indoor farmers, the makers of the X², who have been growing commercially for several decades, have plenty of experience reconciling common problems.
Greenhouse and indoor grow operations are restricted by practical and scientific puzzles. For example, tight spaces can be hard to fill with light, especially as the canopy expands and provides shade for lower leaves. In turn, growers struggle to find the “right” amount of light. As the plant grows through its stages, it needs different lighting spectrums which could cost thousands in regular bar lights.
Naturally, balancing the intensity, heat and spectrum is too big of a job for a single grow lamp—until now.
The X² steps ahead of the rest as it’s the only light you’ll need from seed to harvest. Fully tunable and customizable, the X² comes with an optional compatible 3-channel controller that gives you complete control over intensity and spectrum. And for those of you looking to scale your operation, rest assured that the controller can adjust over 500 X² lights simultaneously.
Built to accommodate gardeners with limited space, the X² utilizes three concentric squares made from LED light bars. This design ensures your plant is getting maximum photons from top to bottom.
The light that plants predominantly use for photosynthesis ranges from 400–700 nm. Referred to as Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR), this range includes red, blue and green wavebands, which match the LEDs on the X². With the X², you have full control over your spectrum.
With larger, healthier yields, you can expect a better return on your investment. LED lights always held promise for indoor gardeners. They’re cooler than standard HIDs and use about half of the electricity. Don’t waste money on high electricity bills from lighting and air conditioning.
With over 75,000 hours of lifetime use, you can expect to save money on replacing burnt out lamps, too. This LED light comes with a 5-year warranty to boot. The deluxe heatsink keeps your plants and electronic elements cool, preserving the life of your equipment for years to come.
Why is this grow lamp so important?
It wasn’t long ago that LED lights hit the market with promises of using less electricity while emitting intense light and keeping their cool.
But the people behind Kind LED, as well as many other cannabis growers, were quickly disappointed. They found LEDs didn’t have the intensity and spectrum needed to effectively grow large, potent plants. Forced back into using energy-sapping, heat-producing HIDs, Kind LED felt there must be another way.
Ever since, Kind LED has been leading the industry in LED lighting innovation. The promises of LED lighting may have been too good to be true, but they were also too good to ignore. Kind LED bar lights have now become the world’s number one selling LED grow lights, but they didn’t stop there.
The X2 is an important step in cost-saving, heat-reducing LED lighting. Kind LED’s engineers ensured that this light is intense or dim depending on your plants’ needs and within an effective PAR for healthy growth. This light eliminates the need to move plants to special grow stations based on their growth stage. The X² saves growers time, money, headaches and valuable space.
