Hortilux PowerVEG is different than other T5 lamps. Not only does it produce a well balanced spectrum for your plants, it also provides UVA and UVB. UV is an essential component of the spectrum that produces stronger, healthier plants, allowing them to produce higher quality fruits and flowers. The sooner you introduce UV to your plants, the better your end product. No other T5 bulb on the market produces a spectrum with this quality or UV of any kind.Why PowerVEG is like no other T5: First and only T5 to incorporate full spectrums of UVA and UVB (UVA = 315nm - 400nm : UVB = 280nm - 315nm). Exclusive chemistry which produces UVA & UVB.

What PowerVEG does for your plants: Promotes extreme photosynthesis for faster growth, Creates a stronger root system, UV light allows for easy transition from indoor veg to outdoor flowering, UV light helps develop stronger healthier vegetative plants that will produce higher yields and higher quality crops, Creates faster producing yields, vivid colors, more flowering and better tasting crops.
This bulb has something no other T5 bulb has: full spectral distribution, plus UVA and UVB, covering from 280 nm to 400 nm: it’s the closest to the sun that a T5 bulb can get.

What’s the big deal with that? The balanced spectrum produces stronger, healthier plants that make higher quality blooms and flowers, blasting extreme photosynthesis, making stronger roots, faster growth, higher yields and better smelling and tasting crops. If you’re starting inside and moving to an outside grow it will also make for an easy transition to sunlight.

Pro-tip: If you’re currently running a 24 hour on cycle reduce to 19 hours if you’re switching to 100% Powerveg lamps. Alternatively, you can go 50/50 standard T5 and Powerveg and stay at 24 hours.

Safety Note: These bulbs put out UVA and UVB rays. Possible skin or eye irritation can result from exposures exceeding 30 minutes when working less than 8 inches from the lamp. Use appropriate skin and eye protection—just like you would out in the sun.
