Final reviews about The Mantis and its price
With The Mantis by Grow The Jungle we are facing a supplemental light to improve the light spectrum given to plants. The Mantis brings an Ultraviolet light that boosts resin production, improves taste and flavor of buds and prevents against pests.
Another point for this UV LED fixture is it has no competitors in market. Any other manufacturer of led lamps has put worked in offering growers a specific light to imporve quality of flowers during last stages of bloom. From SantYerbasi we like manufacturers that stand for innovative solutions, specially when these are manufactured under very high standards.
It is clear that The Mantis is not made for growers trying to get their first crop, but if you have experience growing indoors, and you are looking for those extra grams in the scale, besides improving the quality of your crop, The Mantis is a great way of getting it.
About its price we don't like to lie ourselves. Almost 200€ for a supplemental light of 25w that increases resin production can seem something expensive. At the same time you must understand that this light is something so specific, manufactured with top compounds, so not all growers need it.
Long story short, it is an evidence that using The Mantis it iexists an improve of results (more resin, increased taste and flavor, and also pest protection. If you are interested in stepping up your crop, do not wait any longer and start using The Mantis.
