Things to Consider While Buying A LED Grow Light For Marijuana:

Are you thinking of growing seasonal plants or marijuana? If yes, then one of the most crucial things you will need to grow marijuana is an indoor grow lamp. Choosing the LED to grow lights depends on various factors. Depending on the growth stage of the plants, adjustments may be required when it pertains to how much light they are getting, in addition to other factors such as water, heat, and ventilation.

• Red And Blue Wavelengths: A plant absorbs different wavelengths of light to carry out various vital functions like photosynthesis. So, it is best to opt for a full-cycle grow light. Something that offers both the blue and red wavelengths to for optimal growth. Blue light from the LED grow light mimics the long day and stimulates vegetative leaf growth while the red light mimics the short day and encourages flowering. So, be sure to check whether the LED light has a full spectrum or not.

• Coverage Area: Light size and beam angle play an important role in indoor planting. Choose the grow light that will cover the area you plan on using for your indoor plants. A larger light covers more area and offers even coverage. A small angle delivers more PAR, however, decreases the coverage area.
