Galaxy Hydro 300W Review
The LED panel is designed for the indoor grower and provides the full spectrum of light for both vegetative and flowering stages of growth. This small panel is perfect for a small indoor garden for a few plants.

The GalaxyHydro 300W is a full spectrum LED grow light with 9 bands from 430-730nm. The light spectra included are UV 380~400nm, 430~440nm, 450~460nm, 470nm, 610~615nm, 620~630nm, 650~660nm, white light, IR~730nm.
Diode Configuration
There are one hundred 3 watt epiLED diodes set at 90 & 120 degrees for the best coverage. The panel has the optimal ratio of red and blue lights for your cannabis plants for both vegetative and flowering stages. Ultraviolet and infrared light with the function of sterilization of the plant surfaces of bacteria, stimulating cell division and increasing the overall growth.

Dimmable Switch
As you can see from the photo, you can adjust the light intensity with the dial next to the on/off switch. This is the only low cost LED Grow Light I’m aware of that can set the light intensity.
This allows you to use the GalaxyHydro 300W for your marijuana clones instead of using florescent tubes. Increasing the intensity as your clones are ready for the next stage.
Daisy Chain
The GalaxyHydro 300W can be daisy chained allowing you to expand your indoor garden. All you need to do is plug the power cord from one panel into the next as illustrated in the photo.
As the panel only uses 140 watts you can daisy chain 3 or 4 panels without worrying about overloading your electrical circuit.
