When you are growing your weed indoors, you are at a certain disadvantage as compared to the person growing their WEED outdoors. The one growing their weed outside has the advantage of using the natural light from the sun for the proper growth of their crops. You can however use lights to achieve the same lighting effects outdoors crops receive from the sun Indoor growers have the option of using LED grow lights or high-pressure sodium  HPS grow lights  among many others. We have discussed a number of LED grow lights in our previous articles and today, we focus on HPS grow lights. HPS GROW LIGHTS are unique in their own way.They come with different performances and designs as compared to other grow lights. When it comes to generating lumens for your indoor weed, HPS lamps are the best as they provide very adequate lighting capabilities. They are better than incandescent bulbs by a large margin and they are great energy savers. HID Grow Lights: What To Consider There are a f...

What Is A Ceramic Metal Halide Grow Light? First, let’s clear up a point of confusion. I’m sure you’ve seen (even just in this article), several different terms and abbreviations. Ceramic Metal Halide  (CMH) grow lights , Light Emitting Ceramic (LEC) and Ceramic Discharge Metal Halide (CDM) all refer to the same thing. CMH is the most common term. Another point of confusion concerns their relationship to metal halide lights.  CMH bulbs  are a variation of MH bulbs, but they are quite different. Instead of using a quartz tube, they use a ceramic tube (more here), similar to an HPS bulb. This allows a higher arc tube temperature, which in turn allows a better mix of gases to produce a more optimal spectrum (more on this below in the sections comparing CMH to MH and HPS). The light produced by a CMH bulb is much closer to natural sunlight than either MH or HPS (with a CRI of 96). It is, for practical purposes, a perfect combination of MH and HPS in a single bulb.

If you’ve spent any time searching for the best height to hang your grow lights, you’ve probably found a bunch of wildly different answers. That’s because it’s impossible to give an exact distance.What I can give you, is a good starting point. From there, you’ll gradually move the lights closer to the canopy, while monitoring your plants closely. This way, you’ll end up finding the sweet spot for your particular garden. That’s the best anyone can do for you. The perfect hanging height depends on so many factors that no one could ever provide an accurate answer. But if you follow the recommendations below, you will have no trouble finding the perfect distance to hang your grow lights above your particular canopy. We’ll begin with LED grow lights, then we’ll cover HID lights, then fluorescent lights, and finally ceramic metal halide. Why do different grow lights need to be hung at different heights? If your indoor garden is supposed to mimic a plant’s natural (outdoor) environ...

While  growing cannabis in the garden , there are some problems you are likely to encounter. This article discusses some methods you can use to treat the issue of yellow cannabis leaves. While growing cannabis in the garden, there are some problems you are likely to encounter. Your plants may not be getting sufficient nutrients and water among other issues. These can interfere with the quality of the final yield or produce. Lack of enough water, sunlight, and minerals can make your plants’ leaves to turn yellow. Additionally, lack of constant watch and monitoring during the growing process can make your plant to wither. No grower likes to bear the sight of a withering plant. Thus, you need to ensure that your plant does not lack some of the necessities such as water and light. Even though the issue of yellow cannabis leaves faces many farmers, finding a permanent solution to prevent it can be difficult. To treat the problem of yellow leaves, first and foremost, one needs to ident...

In any garden, the vegetative stage is the foundation for a successful fruiting or flowering stage. After all, it is during the vegetative stage that the majority of the root mass is created and the plant’s structure (the spacing between branches and overall stem strength) is established. It is also during this stage that many growers use manipulation techniques to shape plants to increase yields. But aside from the various plant manipulation techniques used by growers, there is one other vital component that prepares a vegetative plant for a strong finish: the artificial light source. A garden’s artificial light is the sole energy source for all plant growth. It should come as no surprise that indoor growers spend a lot of time and money perfecting their garden’s lighting. The vegetative stage is crucial for the growth of marijuana because it determines how healthy and robust it will be once it enters the flowering stage. This is the point when the structural integrity i...
