Description
The Ushio AHS-DE 1000 Watt Opti Red is a high-quality double-ended high-pressure sodium (HPS) grow light lamp designed for horticultural and indoor gardening applications. This lamp is optimized for the flowering and fruiting stages of plant growth, providing the essential red and orange spectrum light plants need for robust flowering, fruiting, and overall yield production.
Key Features:
High-Output HPS Lamp: This lamp is designed to deliver intense and consistent light output with a power rating of 1000 watts. It's ideal for use in large indoor grow spaces and commercial cultivation facilities.
Enhanced Red Spectrum: The Ushio Opti Red lamp is engineered to emit a rich spectrum of red and orange light, which is critical for stimulating flowering and fruiting in plants. This spectrum encourages flowering sites to develop, leading to larger and denser blooms.
Double-Ended Design: The double-ended design of the lamp is more efficient and allows for higher light output and longer life span compared to single-ended lamps.
High PAR Output: This lamp provides a high Photosynthetic Active Radiation (PAR) output, which is essential for promoting photosynthesis and maximizing plant growth and yield.
Consistent Color Stability: Ushio is known for its commitment to color stability in its lamps. The Ushio AHS-DE 1000 Watt Opti Red maintains its spectrum throughout its life, ensuring that your plants receive the light they need from start to finish.
Longevity: Designed for durability, this lamp has a longer lifespan compared to many other HPS lamps. It's built to withstand the demands of professional cultivation operations.
Benefits:
Improved Flowering and Fruiting: The enhanced red and orange spectrum is crucial for flowering and fruiting stages. With this lamp, you can expect larger and more bountiful flowers and fruits.
Higher Yields: The high light output and PAR values contribute to increased yields, making it suitable for crops like cannabis, tomatoes, and peppers.
Cost-Effective: While the initial cost may be higher than some lamps, the longevity of the Ushio AHS-DE 1000 Watt Opti Red and the increased yields it promotes can lead to cost savings in the long run.
Professional Quality: This lamp is favored by professional growers for its reliability and performance.
Applications:
Commercial Cultivation: Suitable for large-scale indoor cultivation operations.
Greenhouses: Effective for supplementing or replacing natural sunlight for improved flowering and fruiting in greenhouse-grown plants.
Indoor Gardens: Ideal for serious indoor gardeners seeking to maximize yields and flowering results.
Flowering and Fruiting Plants: Primarily used during the flowering and fruiting phases of plant growth, including cannabis, fruiting vegetables, and ornamental flowering plants.
Use Instructions:
Ensure the lamp is compatible with your double-ended (DE) grow light fixture.
Insert the lamp into the DE fixture and secure it properly.
Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for hanging height and light schedule based on the specific needs of your plants.
Monitor your plants and adjust the lighting as necessary to optimize growth and yield.
The Ushio AHS-DE 1000 Watt Opti Red is a high-performance HPS lamp trusted by professional growers for its ability to enhance flowering and fruiting in plants. Its spectral output and high light intensity make it a valuable addition to any indoor or greenhouse growing operation, especially when the focus is on maximizing yields during the bloom and fruiting stages.

INFORMATION QUESTIONS
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is Hydroponics?
Hydroponics is the science of growing plants without soil. The plants thrive on the nutrient-water solution alone. The growing medium merely acts as a support for the plants and their root systems while the solution passes freely. The growing medium, if any, is totally inert.
What types of plants grow best hydroponically?
Anything can be grown hydroponically, but some plants prove to be more space efficient. Some plants we suggest are tomatoes, sweet peppers, hot chilies, lettuce, spinach, squash, cucumbers, broccoli, beans, snow peas, herbs and flowers of all types.
Can you REALLY get better yields/quicker growth?
Absolutely. The plants, when receiving everything they need, tend to be healthier, faster growing and generally more productive. You can expect 30% faster growth with many crops.
What are the watering cycle timelines hydroponic systems?
Once the reservoir is filled with nutrients, it is time to put your hydro system to work! The ease of hydroponics is automation – automation is achieved by putting the pump on a timer according to your watering needs. The watering cycle depends on growth stage, growing medium and hydroponic system. In an ebb and flow or drip system with rockwool as the medium, seedlings, clones and plants in the early vegetative stage require watering only once a day for 15-30 minutes (twice a day for higher temps). Mature, flowering and fruiting plants require a heavier feed and can be fed once a day for 30 minutes (twice a day for higher temps). Typically soiless mixes and coco fiber can be watered for about 15 minutes twice a day, and can be adjusted for heavier feeding during the flowering and fruiting stage or higher temps. ViaStone, Hydroton, Grow Rocks, and Silicate mediums need to be watered more frequently – a constant drip for drip systems, and about 15-30 minutes every 3 hours for ebb and flow systems and can be adjusted for heavier feeding during the flowering and fruiting stage or higher temps. Aeroponic systems require frequent watering cycles; 30-60 seconds every few minutes or a constant spray.
What do I need to test pH? How do I test pH?
pH has a range from 0 (acidic) – 14 (alkaline), with 7 being neutral. A proper hydroponic pH range is between 5.5 to 6.2 for most hydroponic crops. For specific crop pH, check out our Plant Guide. pH must remain within the proper range for good plant health, disease resistance, and proper nutrient uptake. pH is maintained by adding pH Up and pH Down to the nutrient solution. For more information, see the Testssection of our site.
How will the flavor compare to my outdoor grown, organic produce?
The taste may be even better! This is simply due to the fact that the hydroponically grown plants are getting everything they need, when they need it. Don’t be fooled by “hot house” produce grown commercially. The grower’s primary concern is shipability and storage, not flavor. When you grow your own vegetables at home, you can expect nothing less than excellent results. Plus, hydroponically grown produce has the added benefit of a longer shelf life.
