Predator LED Grow lights 4 x 12w – Perfect for Clones and Mothers

The Predator LED Grow lights 4 x 12w is the technological leap your grow room needs to say goodbye to old fluorescent tubes forever. This high-performance lighting fixture is designed to offer the perfect intensity and spectrum for the most delicate stages of cultivation: germination, rooting cuttings, and maintaining mother plants, ensuring vigorous development without the heat problems of older technologies.

Why is the Predator LED the solution to your propagation problems?

Are you tired of seeing your seedlings stretch endlessly looking for light or your cuttings drying out from excess heat? Using inappropriate lighting during the first few weeks is a classic mistake. HPS lights are too hot and intense for babies, and old fluorescent tubes lose power quickly, consume a lot of electricity for the light they give, and are fragile.

This situation creates constant stress: you have to constantly adjust the height so they don't burn but also don't stretch, your electricity bill goes up, and you end up with weak plants that will never reach their full potential. Plus, managing temperature in small spaces like propagators becomes a nightmare.

The Predator LED Grow lights 4 x 12w solves all this in one go. By using specific LED technology for growth (4000K), it provides exactly the type of light your plants need to create compact structures and strong roots. It emits almost no heat, allowing you to place it very close to the plants safely, and consumes half as much as the systems you used before. It is the definitive upgrade for your cutting cabinets.

Ideal for Clones and Seedlings

When you are rooting clones or starting seeds, stability is key. The Predator LED offers a continuous and uniform light flow that penetrates deep without dehydrating the leaves. Being a cold light, humidity levels in the propagator remain stable, which is vital for rooting success.

Its 4000K spectrum mimics the blue light of spring, telling the plant it's time to develop roots and foliage, not flowers. This results in stockier plants with tighter internodes, ready to explode when you move them to the flowering room.

Versatility: Mothers, Mushrooms, and More

This equipment isn't just for babies. It's an exceptional tool for maintaining mother plants in a vegetative state for months with minimal electrical consumption. By not having the red spectrum of flowering lights, your mothers will stay in perfect vegetative shape without trying to bloom.

Furthermore, due to its low operating temperature and light intensity, it is the favorite choice for mycology fans. It fits perfectly in a mushroom grow tent, providing the necessary light cycle without altering the delicate thermal conditions fungi require.

Advantages and Benefits (FAB)

• Feature: 4 strips of 12W LED (48W total) with 4000K spectrum.
  Advantage: Generates light specifically tuned for photosynthesis in the vegetative phase.
  Benefit: Your plants grow faster, greener, and with a much stronger structure from day one.
• Feature: Cold operation and aluminum housing.
  Advantage: Dissipates heat passively without the need for noisy fans.
  Benefit: You can stick the light to the plants to maximize lumens without fear of burning them, while keeping the room silent.
• Feature: Compact dimensions (60 x 33 x 6 cm) and lightweight.
  Advantage: Fits in any corner, shelf, or small tent.
  Benefit: You maximize your available space, turning any shelf into a productive growing station.
• Feature: Superior energy efficiency compared to fluorescent/CFL.
  Advantage: More photons per watt consumed.
  Benefit: You save money on your electricity bill every month while getting better results.

How to use the Predator LED correctly?

To get the most out of this LED Grow Light, follow these tips:

• For Seedlings/Clones: Place the light about 10-15 cm from the tops. Being LED, it won't burn them, and the proximity ensures they don't stretch.
• For Mother Plants: You can keep it at 20-30 cm to cover more area as the plant is larger.
• Photoperiod: Use 18 hours of light and 6 of darkness for vegetative growth.
• Installation: Use the included hooks to hang it easily. Ensure the side vents are not blocked to allow heat to escape naturally.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this light for flowering?

No. Although plants would grow, the 48W power and 4000K spectrum are designed for growth (vegetative). For flowering, you need more power and a warmer spectrum (2700K-3000K) to get dense buds.

Does it replace a 2x55W fluorescent fixture?

Yes, and it improves upon it. It produces more photosynthetically active light (PAR) with less consumption and generates much less heat, so the effective light the plant receives is greater.

Does it come with the cable?

Yes, the Predator LED comes ready to plug and play, including an 8-inch grounding cable for total safety in humid environments.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

"I've spent years using T5 tubes for my cuttings and mothers, and honestly, switching to the Predator LED has been a relief. The main difference I notice is the temperature; in summer, the fluorescents raised the heat in the closet too much, stressing the clones. With the Predator, that problem disappeared. I use it in a small shelf setup for the first 2 weeks of life, and the plants come out super compact, with a very intense green. If you want to professionalize your rooting area without spending a fortune, this is the equipment."
