Lights

Lighting is one of the most crucial elements in indoor cannabis cultivation. The right light influences plant growth, yield, and potency. There are several types of grow lights commonly used:

LED lights are energy-efficient, produce low heat, and offer full-spectrum lighting, making them ideal for both beginners and advanced growers.

HPS (High-Pressure Sodium) lights are known for high yields during the flowering stage but generate significant heat and use more power.

MH (Metal Halide) lights emit a blue spectrum perfect for vegetative growth and are often used with HPS in traditional grow setups.

Fluorescent lights (CFL/T5) are affordable and low-heat options best suited for seedlings, clones, or small grows.

Choosing the right light depends on your grow space, budget, and the plant’s stage of development. LEDs are increasingly popular due to their efficiency and versatility.
