Mammoth Lighting has launched its 2025 Mint White Series, featuring an exclusive Emerald Green + Red Terp Boost spectrum. Designed for cultivators who prioritize plant quality, yield, and secondary metabolite production, this new fixture offers a spectrum optimized for increased terpenes, cannabinoids, and plant expression.
The science behind better spectrum and better results
Mammoth Lighting has designed an LED fixture that aims to optimize both yield and terpene expression at the same PPFD levels.
Recent university research on cannabis has confirmed that a dual-peak red spectrum (640nm + 660nm) significantly enhances photosynthesis, terpene production, and cannabinoid content compared to standard 660nm-only LEDs. The 2025 Mint White Series fully integrates this research, giving cultivators an edge in both quantity and quality.
"Our goal has always been to replicate nature's spectrum as closely as possible," said Ryan Daly of Mammoth Lighting. "We've engineered a light that doesn't just increase yield but also enhances overall plant expression—more oils, cannabinoids, and terpenes. This is science, not hype."
New features of the 2025 Mint White Series
Dual Red Peaks (640nm + 660nm), to boost terpene production and yield over standard 660nm-only LEDs.
Emerald Green Spectrum – Penetrates deeper into the canopy, increasing photosynthetic efficiency and yield at high PPFD levels.
UV Upgrade Available – Enhances secondary metabolite production, strengthens plant defenses, and aids in pest control.
Samsung EVO Chipset – Exclusive diode technology for higher efficiency and enhanced plant response.
CMH-like Full-Spectrum LED – Designed to mimic the proven spectrum of HPS and CMH while providing higher efficiency and better plant response.
Proven by science
The Mammoth Mint White Series is backed by research, including a recent study that stated "At higher PPFD, white light with a dual red peak of 640nm and 660nm compared to white light with a single red peak of 660nm increased terpenoid concentrations."

This research aligns with Mammoth Lighting's commitment to delivering a spectrum that maximizes plant performance, not just marketing claims.
Breaking myths
Many growers wrongly believe green light is useless because plants appear green. In reality, green light is one of the most abundant colors in the photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) spectrum, just like blue or red light. At high PPFD levels, green is the most photosynthetic wavelength, driving significant energy absorption and yields higher. Green light penetrates deeper into plant tissue, allowing lower canopy leaves to contribute more to growth and yield. It also enhances overall plant development, helping plants adapt to high-intensity lighting through the Detour Effect, while improving visual plant inspection, making it easier to spot pests, diseases, and nutrient deficiencies. Finally, green light activates anthocyanin production which enhances plant colors such as red and purple, improving plant aesthetics and market appeal as well as increasing beneficial secondary metabolites, including terpenes and flavonoids.
By incorporating green into the spectrum, Mammoth Lighting has created an LED fixture that drives deeper light penetration, higher efficiency, yields and superior plant expression.
