Led Super Board 100W / 150W – Farming Monkey | Samsung Chip Full Spectrum

The Led Super Board 100W / 150W by Farming Monkey is the ultra-thin, silent, and high-efficiency lighting solution designed to skyrocket your indoor production without skyrocketing your electricity bill. This panel, equipped with the latest Samsung technology, defines what a modern Farming Monkey grow light should be: powerful, accessible, and incredibly effective for both vegetative and flowering stages.

Are you afraid of burning your plants or wasting electricity?

It is completely normal to feel that knot in your stomach when buying a new light. Many growers fear that if they don't choose the right spectrum or distance, they will end up with burnt leaves, heat stress, or worse, a harvest that doesn't justify the electricity bill. This fear often leads to sticking with obsolete HPS systems or buying cheap, inefficient LEDs that promise the moon but deliver popcorn buds.

The problem is that this fear paralyzes you. You end up keeping the light too far away "just in case," losing precious lumens, or you don't dare to upgrade your setup, resigning yourself to mediocre results cycle after cycle. You stay in your comfort zone, but your jars remain half empty and your plants never reach their full genetic potential.

The Led Super Board is the tool that breaks this cycle. It is designed to be forgiving while you learn, but powerful enough to perform like a beast once you master it. Consider this panel and the following guide as your shortcut to skipping the frustration phase and jumping straight to the "heavy harvest" phase.

What you can expect the first few times

When you switch to this LED board, the first thing you'll notice is the silence and the temperature drop. Unlike HPS, this board doesn't emit radiant heat towards the plants. At first, you might think it's "not working" because the tent feels cooler. This is normal and actually beneficial; it allows you to keep the terpenes intact.

You will also notice that your plants drink less water initially compared to hot lights. Since there is less evaporation, the substrate stays moist longer. Pay attention to this: don't water by inertia, check the weight of the pot. You will see shorter internodal spacing and greener leaves, a sign that the Full Spectrum is doing its job.

Typical mistakes and how to avoid or fix them

• Hanging it too close too soon: LEDs are deceptive; they don't burn with heat, but with light intensity. Fix: Start at 50-60 cm during growth and lower it only when the plant asks for it.
• Overwatering: As mentioned, the heat is lower. Fix: Space out your irrigations until you get the hang of the new evaporation rate.
• Not adjusting nutrition: With LEDs, plants eat more Calcium and Magnesium. Fix: Keep a CalMag supplement handy to avoid deficiencies in the 4th week.
• Ignoring the temperature: Since the light doesn't heat up the tent, in winter you might be too cold. Fix: Monitor your Indoor Grow parameters and reduce extraction if necessary to maintain 24-25°C.
• Looking directly at the diodes: It seems obvious, but these chips are powerful. Fix: Always use protective glasses when working under the panel.

How to fine-tune until you find your perfect sweet spot

1. Start conservative: Hang the Super Board at about 50 cm from the tips of your seedlings or cuttings.
2. Observe the leaves: If they stretch towards the light (seeking it), lower the panel 5 cm. If the edges curl up (praying too much) or bleach, raise it 5 cm.
3. Change one variable at a time: Do not change the height and the nutrients on the same day. This way you will know what worked.
4. Take notes: Write down the distance and the stage of the plant. For example: "Week 3 Flowering: 30 cm distance, perfect response."
5. Find the limit: In peak flowering, try lowering it to 30 cm. If the buds fatten without stress, you have found your sweet spot for maximum yield.

Advantages and benefits of treating it as a learning process

• Total Control: By understanding how distance affects morphology, you can shape your plants (shorter or taller) without pruning.
• Energy Efficiency: You will learn to use exactly the photons you need, maximizing the gram/watt ratio.
• Quality Boost: By mastering the "cold" crop, you will preserve terpenes that used to evaporate, improving the flavor and aroma of your harvest.
• Less Stress: Knowing that the passive cooling system is safe gives you peace of mind; no noise, no risk of fan failure.

Features and Technical Specs (FAB)

• Samsung LM281B Chips + 660nm Red: High-end technology that mimics sunlight. Benefit: Your plants receive the exact spectrum they need to produce heavy, resinous flowers.
• Passive Cooling: Aluminum heat sink without fans. Benefit: Zero noise and zero maintenance. It lasts longer because there are no moving parts to break.
• Ultra-thin Design (5cm): Compact and lightweight (approx 600g). Benefit: You can install it in cabinets with little height or use it as side reinforcement without losing space.
• Plug & Play: No assembly required. Benefit: You take it out of the box, hang it, and start growing. No cables to strip or ballasts to connect.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to really "get" the product?

Usually, after one complete cycle (about 3 months), you will have fully understood how your plants react to this specific spectrum. The second crop is usually where you break your production records.

How do I know if I'm using it correctly?

The plants speak. If the leaves are flat, green, and "happy" (slightly raised), you are doing it right. If you see yellowing at the top or bleaching, raise the lamp. If the plant stretches excessively and has weak stems, lower the lamp.

What to do if I don't like a particular result?

If you feel the buds are not dense enough, you probably had the light too far away during the critical weeks of fattening (weeks 5-7). In the next round, try reducing the distance by 5-10 cm during that specific phase.

Is the 150W model enough for a 1m x 1m tent?

For a 1x1m tent, one 150W board is excellent for the vegetative phase or for keeping mothers. For flowering in that space, we recommend using two units or combining it with other Grow light kits to ensure optimal coverage and yield.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I remember when I switched from the classic 600W HPS to these LED boards. My first mistake was treating them the same: I watered too much and put the light too far away thinking it had no "punch" because it didn't emit heat. The plants grew slowly and I was frustrated. I almost put the HPS back.

The change that made the difference was understanding that LED light is "dense" but cold. I brought the panel much closer than I would ever dare with a sodium lamp, about 25-30 cm in flowering, and I raised the room temperature slightly. The result was brutal: hard buds like stones and a layer of resin I had never seen before. It's not about power, it's about how you use it.
