Testimonials

“… I’ve really liked the Verta-6.  They’ve been durable and easy to use. Yields have been great . Good quality too…we’re etting between 3-3.6 lbs a light currently . Just getting out of the pheno hunt stage. Everything was from seed. Now that I have some strain  specific data I can bump that’ll up a bit. Currently getting 90-93 g per sqft. I have a few strains that get 110g per sq. ft.”

“I am getting 13-18% more yield than Gavita and 3%-6% higher terpenes. I just harvested 96 sq. ft and got 3.03 lbs on 3 4×8 tables in a row of 5 lights [Verta-8s]. I’ve tried many different LED & HID grow lights and by far SpecGrade’s Verta-8 outperforms all of them. I will never buy any other brand grow lights for my facilities.”

Jason Wilson

“…the older SpecGrade lights I have down south [Meridian Growers] is still running. They’re 5-years old and I have yet to see any variant…I’ve never had a failure in a SpecGrade light, ever”…. we also just harvested 3.6 lbs/light growing the Chimax strain”.

“ SpecGrade grow lights have exceeded our expectations as we are harvesting on average 3lbs per light with excellent light penetration.”

Pineapple DeVille (J-Bam In-House Genetics)
Dominant Sativa which offers the user an immediate cerebral head high that leaves them euphoric and with significant mind relief. This strain gets its name from its distinct flavor and gassy aroma, which includes sweet pineapple and tropical notes.

“We did 2.7 lbs per light cured trimmed flower using the SpecGrade Verta-8s. I am shooting for 3.5 lbs per light next week which I think is totally doable. When you don’t have the sun, you’ve got SpecGrade.”

Sean Tyson
Co-Owner & Grower

“My yields under SpecGrade have been 75 g to 135 g per sq.ft. per cycle, primarily in the Clone-to-Flower method in the SAEF system.

Under our methodology, the Verta-8 luminaire consistently yields in excess of 70 g/sq.ft. of dried flower per 6 to 9-week cycle, depending on the cultivar. The quality of the cannabis produced matches that of the luminaires themselves, which are industry-leading and best in class. Our cannabinoid and terpene levels match or exceed anything we have witnessed grown under HID, competing LEDs, and even sunlight.”

Joseph (JC) Chidiac
Horticultural Engineer

“We produce upwards of 500k cannabis starts a month. We ran side-by-side tests with our light next to the Flora-10. We tested plants that were the same strain, as well as age and size. The results were somewhat astonishing. We were used to getting around 120 cuts per 4×4 space with our high bays. The SpecGrade Flora-10 hit 240 cuts in the exact same space. This is a 200% increase. We repeated the tests twice more with the same results if not better…great customer service and a great product.”

Evan Bowen

“We harvested last week and the Specgrade LED lights did exceptionally well. The A1 spectrum made 40.5 oz, the red made 38.55 oz while the Spyder light [Fluence] made 30.25 oz.”

Steve Staudenmier
Grower

“The build quality on the SpecGrade Verta-8 is second to none. With hundreds of lights in our facility, we have never had a bad fixture out of the box. The construction also makes it easy to swap out lighting parts with ease and minimal downtime. Their customer service department goes above and beyond to resolve any issues. On top of it all, we are able to yield 50 grams/sqft and never exceed 90% of the output of the light.”

Nathaniel Hamm

“SpecGrade is quickly making its way to a list of the well-known and liked Cannabis LED companies. Their fixtures are well designed for vertical growing and very solidly built. No other lighting company I know offers a 7-year warranty and easily accommodates spectrum changes by swapping out solder-free diode boards. While many other LED companies expect and want cultivators to replace the fixture every 3-5 years. SpecGrade is selling hardware that’s made to last, yet designed to evolve.”

Jennifer Martin

“For one of our Pennsylvania clients our Hybrid Tech engineering team once again provided an analysis of multiple lighting solutions that indicated SpecGrade as the appropriate provider. After 2 years of operation, they have once again proven to be the best-in-class cultivation lights currently on the market.”

Dan Gustafik
President

“I’ve been impressed with every aspect of SpecGrade from day one. The durability and consistency of the lights has blown me away, and if there ever was an issue the customer service and troubleshooting has been fast and effective. I love their innovation and will continue to use their lights as we expand and grow our operations.”

Matt Sagman
President

“Their spectrum and efficiency don’t compare to other lights on the market. We consistently yield 1.5x more and THC is consistently above 25% with the SpecGrade lights than our HPS lights. They have great customer service and there is always an open line of communication.”

“We have been having great results with the lights and even took home first place in this past years cowboy cub…We have experienced minimal problems with the lights over the past two years of production…Out of our nearly 300 lights used in current production, i consider this to be highly successful so far.”
