Indoor growing involves many factors and can be a very complex undertaking. To do it well could take several years to perfect and a lifetime to master. There are so many different ways to approach all of the different factors such as lighting, nutrition and soil that it really can become somewhat of a trial and error project over time. If you want to be successful at indoor growing the first thing you need to do is research. There are tons of different products out there to benefit growers and you have to find what is best for you for your specific plants and goals of your harvest. Anyone can grow but to grow something of high quality can truly be an art.
Understanding lighting is essential to growing healthy high yield plants. Plants need light to grow and no all light is created equal. Once thought to be the best quality lights available and still very popular are high pressure sodium bulbs and metal halide lights. These lights can be very effective although each serves a better purpose if used for certain stages of growth. Today people are beginning to understand the benefits of
LED grow lights. It is getting harder and harder for detractors to have credibility when it comes to the use of an
LED grow light. These lights are so much more efficient than the old styles of lights that it is ridiculous. High pressure sodium and metal halide lights are only about 15% efficient. That means 85% of the light you are paying electricity bills to create is completely wasted. Most of the light from those styles of fixtures cannot even be absorbed by your plants. LEDs on the other hand are 95% efficient saving you a lot of money.
If you truly want a grow set up that will be state of the art and give you the best results then you have to use LEDs. They are the wave of the future and soon will be the industry standard. They are more expensive right off the bat but in the long run will save you a lot of money as well as give you a higher quality product.
