Incorporating our emergency Green Light (work light) without battery backup, 4Ft offers the distinct advantage of allowing you to easily check on the progress of your plants without causing any disruption to their carefully calibrated growth cycle. This thoughtful design not only provides you with convenient visibility but also ensures that your plants can continue their development undisturbed, fostering an environment conducive to optimal growth and productivity.

GPS-EMGN Series

The GPS-EMGN emits a plant-safe, soft green light ideal for safely illuminating the dark plant cycle when growing short-day crops. This light cannot be easily “seen” by plants, allowing for critical tasks to be performed in the grow rooms during the dark cycle without the light adversely affecting the plant's growth stage.

In cultivation, the color of light plays a pivotal role throughout the plant’s life cycle. During the vegetative phase, blue light with a color temperature between 4000 and 5500K is essential. This spectrum is absorbed by the photoreceptor cryptochrome, which encourages a bushier growth pattern, reduced stem elongation, and enhanced shoot and lateral branch development. The increased blue light exposure accelerates the plant’s metabolism, leading to a more efficient photosynthetic process. Thus, CFL lamps, fluorescent lamps, and metal halide bulbs are commonly used for their blue light emissions during this phase.

As the plants transition to the flowering phase, red light becomes crucial. With a color temperature around 2000K, red light is absorbed by the photoreceptor phytochrome, which stimulates blooming and flower formation. This light spectrum is typically provided by sodium vapor or HPS bulbs, which are favored for their effectiveness in promoting flowering in plants.

While blue and red lights are directly involved in plant growth and flowering, using green light, such as that emitted by the GPS-EMGN, offers unique benefits. Greenlight can illuminate grow rooms during the dark cycle without interrupting the plant’s growth stages, making it invaluable for maintenance and monitoring tasks.

By understanding and utilizing the full spectrum of light, growers can optimize every stage of cultivation, ensuring robust plant health and maximizing yield.
