Increase Yields and Profits with Marijuana LED Grow Lights for Sale at the Best Prices
Marijuana is grown clandestinely which means inside buildings and underground, almost entirely under artificial lights. Some growers use pots and beds while others prefer hydroponics. The basics of growing marijuana are:
Lighting
One can never overemphasize the importance of light for growth and maturation of plants, especially when marijuana is grown indoors under artificial lights. Growers used traditional filament bulbs, fluorescent tubes, low pressure sodium vapor lamps, high intensity discharge lamps and halogen lamps. Each has its drawbacks. One, these lamps consume more electricity in relation to quantity of light emitted. Two, more heat than light is generated and this affects plants that may wilt and frequent watering as well as cooling then becomes necessary. Three, the spectral quality of light is not perfect when one considers the requirements of plants for growth of foliage and blossoming. Four, the spectral quality does not remain uniform throughout the lamp's life. Five, these lamps have a short life span and are expensive to replace. Six, the light spread is not uniform and necessitates use of expensive reflectors.
Plant growth
Plant growth depends on intensity of light, spread, duration and spectral quality. Researchers have shown that in the growing stage plants respond best to more amounts of blue-green light and some amount of ultraviolet radiation. When it is time for the plant to blossom then more amount of red-orange and infra red light radiation is required. Plants need at least 5 to 8 hours of exposure to light for optimum growth. When grown under artificial conditions the duration can be extended to 16 hours to allow fast growth.
LED Lights
Marijuana LED grow lights for sale obtained from a reputed specialist in LED lighting are proving to be the best option in terms of efficiency and cost. LED lights for marijuana growing incorporate full spectrum LEDs and controller to control intensity and also the spectral output of the lights. These light fixtures contain anywhere from 200 to 400 LED lamps, each of 3 W rating, arranged in an array that ensures uniform light spread. These fixtures have integral cooling units that direct heat away from the lamps and typical 600 watt unit emits light equivalent to that emitted by conventional lamps consuming over 1400 watts. With an operational life ranging from 50000 to 100000 hours, these solid state lighting devices for plant growth are best in terms of performance, cost and durability.
Whether it is an experienced grower or someone who is just starting on marijuana cultivation, these LED grow lights for marijuana are perfect and promise maximum yields.
- Use the best fertilizer mix that will promote growth of richer, thicker leaves high in alkaloid content.
- Fresh air circulation is important if growers wish to increase growth rate and quicken maturity period. When the plant is grown underground then use of artificial ventilators is necessary to keep air circulating.
- Lighting is the most important component in addition to fertilizer, watering and air circulation.
- If hydroponics system is used then it becomes important to control nutrient mix and keep checking the pH in addition to providing adequate intensity and quality of light for proper plant growth cycles.
