Description:
Metal halogen lamps, as well as sodium vapor lamps, are among the high-pressure lamps. Unlike sodium vapor lamps, they have an increased proportion of blue light, which makes them particularly suitable for use in growth's. The internode distances of the plant are shortened by the light of the metal halogen lamp, which makes the plant grow more bushier and shoots less into height.
A metal halogen lamp should be used in growth, especially in longer growth phases (e.g. preference from seeds) or the application of various growth optimization methods (e.g. ScroG or Sea of Green). The number of watts should correspond to the selected VSG, if a digital/dimmable VSG's is selected, the strength of the selected MH should correspond to the maximum thickness of the ballast.
