Frequently Asked Questions
What is Air Pruning
Air pruning is a process where roots that reach the walls of a breathable, fabric pot are naturally pruned when they come into contact with air. This contact causes the root tips to dry out and die off, stimulating the plant to produce more lateral roots. The result is a denser, healthier root system that can absorb more nutrients and oxygen, leading to stronger and more vigorous plant growth.
What is Cannabis ruderalis?
Cannabis ruderalis is a subspecies of cannabis known for its autoflowering trait, meaning it flowers based on age rather than light cycle changes.
What is the basic equation for photosynthesis?
6 CO2 + 6 H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6 O2
What is the difference between PPF and PPFD?
PPF stands for Photosynthetic photon flux and ppfd for the density. PPF with the unit µmol/s (micromole per second) describes the total amount of photons emitted by a light-source. PPFD measures the light intensity on a surface. PPFD is PPF divided by the Area. (PPF/A | µmol/m²s)
What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?
Chlorophyll is the key pigment in photosynthesis that captures sunlight. It converts this light energy into chemical energy by exciting electrons, which are then transferred through a series of reactions. This process produces ATP and NADPH, essential for powering the Calvin cycle to convert carbon dioxide into glucose, vital for plant growth and energy.
Chlorophyll:
- A pigment molecule found within chloroplasts
- Gives plants their green color
Where does SANlight produce?

Which chips does SANlight use?
SANlight kombiniert in der EVO-Serie den SEOUL 3030C MID-Power Chip mit dem OSRAM High-Power Chip für Rot und Far-Red.Which grow lamp for 150×150?
Für 2,25m² können verschiedenen Optionen verwendet werden. Z.B 3x hortiONE 600 oder 2x SANlight EVO 5 150Which grow lights are the best?
Dies variiert je nach Anwendung wir z.B Gewächshaus oder Indoor. Bei der Wahl der Grow-Lampe sollte zudem die Pflanzenart und das Wachstumsstadium berücksichtigt werden. z.B Benötigen Pflanzen welche keine Blüten oder Früchte Bilden weniger Rotes Licht.Who was K.J. McCree and what was his contribution to plant science?
K.J. McCree was a plant physiologist who demonstrated that the number of photons (light quanta) is a better measure of photosynthetic efficiency than energy.
