What type of grow light bulb is needed to grow marijuana?
With the legalization of cannabis, more and more LED grow light system manufacturers in the market as well, of course, you can search for LED grow lights on Amazon, because you will have many choices in here. However, carefully check the recommended footprints of LED grow lights during vegetable growth and flower growth. The cheaper the grow lighting, the more likely it is to exaggerate the floor area, mainly because serious growers do not use cheap lighting (especially bad for flower beds). These cheap lights (about $100) will grow marijuana, but the effect is not good, This may be a reasonable entry-level plant growing, usually providing enough weeds for personal home grower. The latest generation of LED grow lamp is QB, and quantum board LED grow light is very effective. According to the historical standard of good lighting, they are cheap compared with high-power light strips.
LED technology is developing rapidly. LED is also the light of the future and present. LED is definitely the light source used. They consume less power than HID lamps, have longer service life and much lower operating temperature. In winter, they may need the heat of hid to keep the room warm enough. In summer, if you continue to use HID, high calorie will be a very serious problem. If you use LEDs, it will help because of the low heat.
In addition to the problem of heat, spectrum is also one of the important reasons. At present, led plant grow lights are mostly full spectrum, which is suitable for the growth period and flowering period of marijuana. Moreover, 80% of the light of LED plant grow lamps is absorbed by plants, and will not produce light that plants do not need.
Another problem is the efficiency of LED plant grow lights. Generally, the efficiency of LED plant grow lights is 30% higher than that of HID plant grow lamps. Of course, the production capacity of LED grow light is also very high, which can basically achieve 1.5g ~ 2.5G per watt. The HID series plant grow lamp is generally 1 ~ 1.5g But it is undeniable that HPS grow light has a better flowering spectrum.
Dmxgrow LP960 full spectrum led grow light has a high yield of 3.3 ~ 3.5lb per light for indoor cannabis growing .
