How do LED Grow Lights Help You Succeed In Growing Marijuana Indoors There are a couple of factors that you need to take into consideration before choosing the best light for your grow room. In order to provide your plants with light, you will need a grow light which is powerful enough to cover the grow area where your plants are going to be. The area may differ depending upon the scale of your operation and if you have different space allotted for seedlings and clones or are you planning to grow your marijuana all the way to maturity in one place. Another thing you will need to decide is whether you want an all-purpose light or will you be planning on supplementing your plants with other lamps for processes such as vegetation and flowering. However, if you are tight on budget and are on the lookout for a lower running cost and a stealthy growing then LED grow lights are the perfect fit for your project. Last but not the least, you will not face problems such as running too hot, balla...

About COB LED in general-What Is A COB LED? The word COB is actually short of Chip-on-Board and the COB LED lights are specially designed lights with LED chips that are mounted directly into a substrate in order to form a single module. Since multiple LEDs are wired and put all together, they basically form one light source. Therefore, when a COB LED is powered by electricity, it appears to be more like a lighting panel and not like a multiple individual lights. That is the main difference between COB LED lights and other LED packages. Anyhow, COB LED lights are able to provide lots of benefits for their users and that is something that makes them truly special and a little bit more valuable than other LED packages. Let’s see some of those advantages. COB LED lights are electrically efficient First of all, when you use light methods for growing purposes, you tend to get the best light for your plants. Therefore, COB LED lights provide better amount of photosynthetic active ...

Growing marijuana indoors is a creative and nuanced task that requires a different set up depending on how you grow. The way your grow room is set up depends on whether you’re growing the seedlings and clones in the same environment or different spaces. One thing that remains constant regardless of your grow room is that you need grow lights. Best 600 watt HPS/MH grow light  HPS MH grow Light Bulbs Some growers add the metal-halide (MH) lamps, which have a green-blue spectrum, apart from HPS bulbs to get the well-balanced spectrum output and achieve the best results. That bluish bright light simulates the real spring sun and thus promotes the bushy short growth of the plants. While metal halides are ideal for the veg phase of growth, the high-pressure sodium light bulbs are more suited for the flowering phase when plants start to produce buds. Metal-halide lights aren’t as strong as high pressure sodium lights, as they provide up to 115 LPW. Nevertheless, they are more p...

What light do plants really absorb? In the 1970s a scientist called McCree determined the wavelengths of light a plant can absorb. He assessed the relative quantum efficiency of different wavelengths of light on photosynthesis. In other words he recorded the rate of growth of plants exposed to each wavelength or colour of light. McCree discovered that plants use all parts of the PAR spectrum but at different rates. The quantum efficiency for red is close to 100% efficient whereas blue and green were less efficient, ranging from 65% to 75%. McCrees action spectrum identifies what colors of the visible spectrum are best for photosynthesis. McCrees action spectrum is the correct reference for assessing the suitability and effectiveness of a grow lights spectrum output. Blue Light Blue lights with a Kelvin color temperature from 5000K to 6500K or wavelength in the 400-500 nanometer range are best for the vegetative stage of the grow cycle and for starting seeds indoors. This color range...

1000-Watt LED Grow Light Cover The average LED grow light draws about 32 watts to cover 1 sq ft for flowering. Compare this to a typical HID fixture which rings in at 40 watts per square foot (assuming a 5’ x 5’ area, or 25 sq ft coverage area). Using an HID in a 4’ x 4’ will bring the power coverage up to 62.5 watts per sq ft. (The energy saving that growers can expect from using LED grow lights instead of HID is around 38%. This energy savings only takes into account to savings growers gain when using LEDs fixtures. It does not account for other environmental factors where growers can save energy. For example, less ventilation and air conditioning may be used, or foregone completely, depending on the size of the setup and ambient temperatures. Total power savings may rise above 50% in certain scenarios.) Different LED grow lights will have different efficiencies. More efficient LED grow lights will use fewer watts to emit the same amount of light that a less efficient LED grow ...

LED grow lights have only hit the market around a decade ago, and with it came great benefits: higher yields at a lower price for indoor growers. Plants do not utilise much white light and some of the other spectrums produced by conventional lighting such as HPS (High Pressure Sodium). In fact plants only use around 30% of the light produced by conventional lighting. Just as conventional lighting has a reduced effect on plant growth so also do traditional methods of measuring light such as LUX becoming insufficient for measuring LED Light. Led Light has a totally different set of rules, the only recognised and effective way to measure LED light is to use the method called PAR or (Photosynthetically Active Radiation). PAR is the term use to describe the wavelengths needed by the plant to feed and grow. The light emitted from our LED light units are close to 100% efficiently utilised. By properly utilising the specific forms of light needed by the plants they are able to fully utilise t...
