MAMMOTH LIGHTING Mint White Series 680w LED Grow Light Owner’s Manual

MAMMOTH LIGHTING Mint White Series 680w LED Grow Light

NEW “Mint White” Series Utilizing Samsung’s

Newest Plant-Centric Chip
Samsung’s latest EVO chip, in partnership with Mammoth, represents a significant leap in plant lighting technology. Through a unique spectrum design, Samsung + Mammoth trials have demonstrated remarkable growth, even under identical PPFD conditions. For the very first time, we present an LED chip meticulously crafted for plant lighting. With a peak wavelength at 437nm and an increased blue spectrum, it not only fuels plant growth but also curbs microbial development while boosting terpenes and oil production – a true game-changer! The green spectrum, renowned as the most photosynthetic colour above 500 PPFD, offers an unprecedented advantage. With the added green boost, you can anticipate unparalleled yields and unmatched quality.

Mastering Light: The Key to Hemp Growth
Before diving into hemp cultivation, understanding your PPFD (Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density) is essential. Light, both in terms of quality and intensity, is a critical factor in hemp cultivation. Academic studies have demonstrated a direct relationship between light intensity and hemp yield, with significant benefits observed up to approximately 1800 PPFD. Discover the pivotal role of light in optimizing your hemp growth.

The Profitability of Growing Hemp Under High Intensity “Our results provide evidence that hemp growers could substantially increase profits by using light intensity levels that are much higher than is the convention today. The positive, apparently linear relationship between intensity and yields continues to at least 1500 µmols/m2· s, which is over twice the level provided by an HPS fixture in a grow configuration, which is currently the industry standard. It took less time for the LED treatments to reach peak ripeness and the resulting morphology of plants grown under high-intensity LEDs being more desirable from a profitability perspective.”

Hemp yield, potency, and leaf photosynthesis respond differently from increasing light levels in an indoor environment (Victoria Rodriguez Morrison, University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario, 2021 “This may be especially evident given that dry inflorescence yield increased linearly with increasing canopy- level PPFD up to 1800 μmol·m-2·s-1, while leaf-level photosynthesis saturated well below 1800 μmol·m-2·s-1. The density of the apical inflorescence and harvest index also increased linearly with increasing LI, resulting in higher- quality marketable tissues and less superfluous tissue to dispose of.” Even under ambient C02

If you encounter specific problems not covered by these instructions, please promptly contact your local sales representative or distributor for expert assistance. Keep these instructions for future reference.

Safety Precautions

1. Always prioritize safety: When the light is in use, it is essential to wear appropriate eye and skin protection.
2. Risk of Burns: The illuminated fixture may become hot during operation. To minimize the risk of injury, turn off or disconnect the fixture and allow it to cool before handling.
3. Proper Electrical Connection: Ensure that the luminaire is plugged into a properly grounded 3-prong 120VAC outlet. If you plan to hardwire the fixture to power, we strongly recommend consulting a licensed electrician.
4. Failure to do so may result in severe injury or even loss of life.
5. Limitation of Liability: Mammoth Lighting LLC assumes no liability for consequential damages under any circumstances. In no event shall Mammoth Lighting LLC be liable to the buyer, any other parties, or any person for any special, incidental, or consequential damages, including, but not limited to, damages related to lost goodwill, lost sales or profits, work stoppages, delays, whether arising from a breach of warranty, breach of contract, negligence, or any other cause.

Optimizing Group Control with Multiple Lights: Standard Dimmer Knob and RJ14 Ports (0-10V Dimmer)
A set of RJ14 ports has been strategically incorporated to facilitate effortless group control, compatible with any controller that supports 0-10V dimming. The process is straightforward: connect each light using the provided RJ14 cords and ensure the final light is connected back to the controller. The Spectrum Tuning 10 bar uses an Rj45 connection.

Optimizing PPFD Targets: Illuminance Maps for Improved Results
The following measurements serve as recommended PPFD targets for your growing environment. All readings have been carefully taken within a 5′ x 5′ tent to minimize light reflection, a common occurrence in 4′ x 4′ tents often used by other manufacturers. When using multiple lights, please note that actual readings may register higher due to light overlap. Conversely, within a 4’x4′ space, the edges are enhanced thanks to the reflective walls.

Mammoth’s Recommendations

• Vegetative Stage: Aim for PPFD levels between 600 and 900.
• Flowering Stage: Target PPFD levels ranging from 1100 to 1800 and lower the intensity the last 2-3 weeks
• For advanced CO2 users and professional growers, consider aiming even higher.
• For UV users: See the website for updated details and research – For Quality: Use the last 2-3 weeks up to the full 12-on cycle. For Pest or PM: Use 30-1hr before the lights turn on as the PM defence mechanism is shut down at night.

These recommendations are grounded in extensive research, drawing from third- party academic studies and Mammoth Lighting’s trials. It’s crucial to understand that achieving these targets also requires fine-tuning your environmental conditions. It’s worth noting that academic studies have shown a linear relationship between light intensity and hemp yield, with significant benefits observed up to approximately 1800 PPFD.
