When considering lighting factor in growing marijuana in a hydroponics setting, you may come face to face with different grow lights. Of course, among the things that you need to think are the advantages as well as disadvantages of each type.
Among the most used artificial light sources for marijuana growing are HID (High-Intensity Discharge), and Full Spectrum LED (Light Emitting Diode). Each of these types works with a different purpose, depending on the setting and the growing environment. Which one is better for you? Read along to see the differences and similarities.
HID (High-Intensity Discharge)
HID lighting is no doubt described as the most efficient method of converting electricity to light. Generally speaking, there are two different types of High-Intensity Discharge grow light which is used for marijuana growing lighting.
Full Spectrum LED (Light Emitting Diode)
This type of lighting is undoubtedly the lightest, smallest, as well as the least space consuming the type of marijuana growing lighting systems. Ever since LED was introduced and became popular eventually, many low-quality names appeared in the market. Ergo, it is very important for the grower to identify which ones are the low quality LED lights. Settling down with these low-quality lightings may jeopardize the opportunity of expecting a high yield for your plants.
The only disadvantage of LED lights is that they might be quite expensive during purchase. To explain, a 1000 watt LED light may cost thrice the actual price of a 1000 Watt MH plus HPS growing lights. However, the cost of the initial purchase is due to LEDs production of high lumens of a light/watt. There is not much impact on the monthly electricity bill.
Whichever type of lighting you may choose depends on your growing preferences. Each type poses their advantages as well as disadvantages, and therefore it is up to you which one you will use for your hydroponics setting in growing marijuana.
