LED bar system from Vanguard Hydroponics. LED Cosmos 720w is a LED panel with a good efficiency and a really low price. This LED system offers 1750 µmol at 30 cm in the centre, more than enough to grow in spaces of 145x 145cm or 150cm x 150cm. The full spectrum of the Cosmos 720 LED allows it to be used for growing and flowering.
LED Cosmos 720w LED mounts a mix of 3000K and 4000K diodes from Samsung.
It also includes Osram branded 660nm red and IR chips. The 660nm red and infra-red light is necessary in the panels for cannabis growing, especially during flowering, as it increases the yield of the crop and improves the health of your plants. 2.8 µmol/j. is a surprisingly high efficiency for the starting price of this Vanguard LED panel.
LED Cosmos Vanguard is built on aluminium heatsink bars so no cooling fan is required. The driver can be mounted on the panel itself or remotely with a plug & play extension cable. It is a potentiometer adjustable driver and compatible with most +-10V monitor controllers.
The Cosmos 720w LED grow light does not include pulleys or hanging brackets. You can buy the necessary pulleys in the accessories category.
LED panels for indoor marijuana growing that incorporate full spectrum chips usually need to combine 3000K and 4000K diodes with an extra supply of reds. This combination of light is the best performing at present. By having all colour ranges, plants grow healthier, internodal distances are shorter and yields are higher.
LED panels for indoor growing maximise production with minimum power consumption.
In contrast, the spectrum of sodium or other older or low quality LED panels provide little colour quality and although it is usually sufficient to carry out flowering, plants do not perform as well as they do with the full spectrum offered by well-made LEDS.
In addition, a good driver is essential for the chips to develop 100% of their power. These drivers (transformers) have to be more than 95% efficient. In the case of the Cosmos 720w LED, in addition to being efficient drivers, they are robust and durable and have a dimming function.
This led panel is equivalent to 1100W of sodium but in order to have a homogeneous light distribution it is important not to exceed 150cm x 150cm of cultivation surface. With bar type LEDs, a homogeneous light distribution is achieved over the entire surface of the crop, obtaining a higher production per square metre. The light penetration of these LED panels considerably exceeds that of sodium and they can be placed much further away from the canopy of the plants.

Forget about getting mini buds at the ends, from now on your harvest will look the same all over the cultivated area.
Cosmos 720w can be used at any stage of the plant, and are designed to boost the yield during flowering.
Each unit has its own dimmer, but you have the option of connecting several panels together, allowing you to dim them all at the same time from a single controller (not included).
All this with very low temperature indexes (24ºC), so we don't have to worry about this factor, and by having better control of the temperature, our plants will suffer less and we will obtain better quality harvests. They have no maintenance costs (no bulb replacement) and have been designed to last more than 5 years.
Techno-tip: Marijuana plants grown with LEDs consume more calcium and magnesium. We must regulate the intensity of the panel light and increase it as the flowering progresses. To maximize the cultivation with LEDs it is important that the canopy (tips of the plants) is as uniform as possible.
