Faven Lighting Chroma with Far Red Under-Canopy LED Grow Lights, Pack of 4 LEDs – 240 Volt

Chroma Under-Canopy Lighting The Newest LED From Faven With An Independent Far-Red Channel With 120 watts of spectrum control and an additional 15 watts of independent far-red, this model is designed to evolve with cultivation techniques as they mature and change. Chroma increases the control growers have over the quality of their final product while also pushing yield boundaries. Whether you're growing for flower or for hash, Chroma delivers. Faven Chroma Features & Benefits Independent Far-Red Channel Adjustable R4-R9 Channel IP66 Rating 5 Year Warranty Chroma Can Control Spectrum From 40% Red To 90% Red Cultivators can optimize their plants at each stage of flowering. For example, we know full spectrum increases yield, but spectrums with higher red levels boost anthocyanin production, also known as purple. With this knowledge, growers can control Chroma's spectrum to maximize yield during bulking and enhance quality and color during ripening, capturing the plant's full potential. This capability also helps growers fine-tune their methods for specific products. Spectrum Breakdown R4-R5: These are cooler spectrums with more blue and green. They are great for root development and can reduce stretch and tighten node spacing. We recommend using these spectrums early in flower - weeks 1 to 3 R6-R7: These are very balanced spectrums. They are great for healthy canopy development and increasing the size of bud sites. We recommend using these spectrums during bulk - weeks 4 to 7 R8-R9: These are warmer spectrums. They are great for increasing anthocyanin production (purple) and the quality of the final product. We recommend using these spectrums during ripening - weeks 8 to 9 Independent Far Red Channel Designed to run independently or in addition to any spectrum This channel provides 15 watts of far red light. Far-red light (around 700–750 nm) is often called the “hidden boost” for flowering. When used the right way, it can help your plants grow stronger, flower faster, and produce bigger yields. Far Red light can help in the following ways: Faster and Bigger Flowering Better Light Penetration Healthier Plant Structure More Efficient Photosynthesis Though we are very excited about the upgrades we have made to the Chroma units, we have kept many of the same features that made Faven the industry leader. We maintained the same form factor and dimensions, the same simple installation and breakdown process, and the same industry-leading IP66 waterproof rating and five-year warranty. Chroma will also qualify for rebates across the country. Nothing has been lost—we have only added to and improved its capabilities. Chroma's safe steering strategy adds another layer of control without the complicated process of tuning individual wavelengths. Chroma is user-friendly yet dynamic in its versatility. Faven offers a cost-effective and efficient strategy for gaining higher yields and more harvests per year without the expensive and labor-intensive process of replacing top lights. How Under-Canopy Lights Change Cultivation Workflow Under-Clearing Perhaps the biggest change to a typical cultivation workflow will be the reduction of under-clearing, also known as "Skirtting" or "Lollipopping". By leaving lower branches and bud sites intact, you will be able to increase your usable canopy depth by 2ft to 3ft. Small branches and bud sites that sit below the light source can be removed. Faven recommends leaving as much foliage on the plant untouched until "Stretch" or "Stack" is complete. This will allow the grower to accurately see what will turn into usable products and what can be removed. This process is best done between days 22-26 of the flower phase. Deleafing Deleafing for light penetration is not a new concept. However, the Under-Canopy application adds another factor to think about when removing leaves. The overall goal is to remove just enough leaves to create a mix of light in the middle of the canopy from both the top and bottom light fixtures. This approach blends the two main schools of thought widely practiced in cultivation: The dead strip (no fan leaves) and leaving as many leaves as possible. While removing too many leaves can be detrimental to the photosynthetic ability of the plant, not taking enough leaves blocks light from reaching bud sites located in the middle canopy. It's a balance that will likely take a run or two fully dialed in and standardized. Planting Density The third difference that is often overlooked when adding under-canopy to your cultivation is planting density. While density greatly varies across the industry, a constant that has been observed is the benefit of reducing plant count when adding under canopy lighting. The decrease will be different for every facility. Lowering plant count promotes more airflow and keeps bottom branches from blocking under-canopy lights. Instead of removing leaves to improve airflow and upward mobility of under-canopy light, reducing plants achieves the same result. Fewer plants also mean a reduction in labor from the nursery through post-production. Reducing plant count can be a scary thought, so we recommend starting with a single trial table and comparing results. In almost all cases, lower plant density outweighed control tables.
