CO2 Requirements

Growing under high-intensity light conditions will require you to recalibrate every aspect of your environment, and chief among that is CO2! We advise all our clients to supplement at least 1200ppm of CO2 in their environment. Keep a close eye on your plants and take detailed notes every crop cycle to find the sweet spot. CO2 gives your crop the carbon building blocks they need to build biomass, and without an adequate amount it won’t matter how much light your system throws down.

How Much Light is Too Much?

When you manufacture the most powerful grow light in the world, this is a question we often get. The short answer is your plants will tell you. The deeper answer is, well, it depends on what other factors in your environment are limiting your crop from fully utilizing all available light – watering schedule? Leaf surface temperature? Ambient CO2? Genetics?
For our cannabis clients, the question is actually ‘How much light can cannabis take?’ The answer to that question is, we really don’t know (click the link to listen to Dr. Bruce Bugbee’s thoughts on the matter).
On of our clients in Michigan is really pushing their genetics to find out, and after setting back-to-back, record-breaking harvests all throughout 2020, they still haven’t found the top! Follow this link for a brief summary of their results over 40 harvests.

The Infrared Spike

Ever notice how most spectral charts for grow lights stop around the far-red region? That’s because extending the chart into the infrared region would show one of the biggest problems with plasma-burning light sources… an enormous spike of radiative heat!

FOHSE A3i PRO

The Best Grow Lights in the Market Now Reimagined.

1500W Industrial LED Grow Light. Designed for advanced control capabilities with 7 Channel Spectral Tunning in High Bay Environments. Producing unbelievable yields at greater efficiencies with more control. Our flagship series, now upgraded with advanced controls and unlimited spectral tuning options.

Big Results Cultivated from Small Beginnings

The A3i Pro starts with industry-leading components, from our diodes to our drivers to our optics. Ensuring proven, tested quality built to last.

PPF:

4050 μmol/s

(Options up to)

PPE:

2.3 – 2.8 μmol/s

Because of its unprecedented power output and industry-leading coverage area, an A3i PRO system will always require less fixtures to produce similar (or better) light levels as an HPS system or LED system of similar size. Depending on your goals you can opt to use less fixtures to produce the light levels you’re accustomed to, or you can ‘fill the grid’ with A3i PRO luminaires and join the growing movement of pioneers setting harvest records under high-intensity lighting environments.

Unmatched Canopy Penetration: Redefining Limits in Commercial LED Grow Lights

Revolutionizing Cannabis Cultivation: Overcoming Past Industry Limitations with Unparalleled Canopy Penetration. Discover the A3i PRO – The Ultimate Solution for Maximum Yields and Efficiency. Advanced Swiveling Light Bars Illuminate Neighboring Grow Plots for Optimal Canopy Coverage.

If there’s one thing we’ve learned touring close to a thousand cultivation facilities around the world, it’s that every environment is unique with its own special requirements. When you work with Fohse, our partnership kicks off with a thourough review of your grow room plans and your goals. Our light planning team heads into our simulation software to develop a 100% custom configuration tailor-fit to the unique needs of your operation. We can even take it a step further and predict your cost of cooling, cost of electricity, and how much you’ll save owing an A3i system over time.

Ultimate control over your lighting capabilities.

The A3i PRO is a commercial LED grow light that comes twice-protected from electrical overload scenarios. Thrice-protected if you count our 5-year conditional warranty.

Never buy another bulb again, the future is here

How much would you save if your grow never had to replace another bulb? Maintaining an HPS system is a burden to your bottom line due to:

Labor costs


Hazardous waste fees


Tedious cleaning


The cost of the bulbs themselves


The inevitable replacement of worn out ballasts


Over time that burden will far outweigh the low cost of an HPS system. Eliminate the burden entirely by switching to Fohse LED, the best grow lights for cannabis. Buy right, buy once .

L90:

50,000 hours

(Based on diode manufacturer specs)

To put the L70 of the A3i PRO into perspective, after 110,000 hours of use the fixture’s output will have diminished to 2,940 umol/s, which is still 47% MORE POWERFUL than a fresh-out-the-box 1000W DE HPS bulb. And just how long is 110,000 hours? If you run 12/12 cycles every day that’s 9,166 days … 1,309 weeks … 301 months … 25.1 years of runtime and your system will still outperform an HPS system.

Revolutionary Heat Control Technology for Commercial LED Grow Lights

Cut Costs and Enhance Efficiency: The A3i PRO features superior light output and heat management to revolutionize cannabis cultivation. Experience more light per BTU compared to traditional HPS systems, minimizing cooling expenses and strain on your cooling system.

(Heat-dissipating surface area)

Unlike obsolete plasma grow lights the A3i PRO has no massive ‘infrared spike’ hidden on the far ends of its spectrum, meaning drastically less heat radiating down on your canopy.

Efficiency Optimized.

The A3i achieves exceptional photosynthetic photon efficacy, rivaling top LED grow lights worldwide. How? Abundant diodes ensure optimal performance without overclocking, paired with our patented thermal management system. Cool diodes mean efficient diodes. With the A3i, you’re guaranteed the market’s most efficient and effective grow light system.

3rd party listing

When you equip your facility with the most powerful AND efficient LED grow light available you have two paths forward available. First, you can configure your A3i PRO system to maintain the light levels you’re used to, and thanks to the A3i’s PRO top-rated efficacy you’ll produce that light at rockbottom prices. Second, you can configure your A3i PRO system to maintain the electrical expenditures you’re used to, and with the A3i’s PRO sky high efficacy that means you’ll produce far more light per watt than you’ve ever seen. Just wait and see what’s possible win a high-intensity light environment. Click here for a glimpse.
