While technology has changed the way we grow marijuana indoors dramatically over the last two decades, surprisingly most growers still use and believe in outdated lighting equipment.
Today’s growers have access to the best and most sophisticated growing systems of all time, but still fail to upgrade one key area...lighting!
We took a look at the different new alternatives to the traditional HPS, MH and T- type set ups in favor of the newer and in some cases more energy conscience grow light setups. More specifically I'm talking about LED and CFL Grow Light units.
After testing and independent research on both types of grow lights the CFL units came out heads and shoulders above LED's, MH, and yes, even HPS grow light units!
Keep in mind not all CFL grow lights are createdequal! CFL systems need slightly more than the stated equivalent to get the same results as HPS or MH (not the same power bill tho..☺) CFL bulbs must also be pointed in the correct direction with a directional hood for the maximum benefit.
We did find one company from Oregon that’s got it right: CFL-GrowLight.com
Those guys build a 1400 watt veg unit that kicks ass! They also build a couple bigger unit’s but the 1400w unit it is like having a 1000k HPS AND a 200w MH light together all in one unit!
These are the best grow lights period.
