As indoor growers in the 21st century, you have a wide range of options when it comes to lighting your grow. Different bulbs have various things to offer. It can be hard to chose just one type which is why many growers opt to checkerboard multiple types of lights through their room, creating a diverse spectrum. We, at Marijuana.com, are going to guide you through all the possible options so you can find which light(s) are best for you, your plants and your space. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-48232\" src=\"http:\/\/www.marijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/grow-veg-tall-0791-1024x683.jpg?a8203f\" alt=\"grow-veg-tall-0791\" width=\"702\" height=\"468\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.marijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/grow-veg-tall-0791-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.marijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/grow-veg-tall-0791-768x512.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.marijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/grow-veg-tall-0791-1024x683.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.marijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/grow-veg-tall-0791.jpg 1200w, http:\/\/www.marijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/grow-veg-tall-0791-300x200@2x.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 702px) 100vw, 702px\" \/>Plants stretching towards an air-cooled system of HPS lights.

Photo courtesy of Allie Beckett<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are<strong> two types of fluorescents<\/strong> that will keep your plants full and healthy: Compact Fluorescent Lights (<strong>CFL<\/strong>) and Full Spectrum Fluorescent (<strong>T-5<\/strong>) lights.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>CFLs<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> are the go-to for closet growers. They give off the least amount of heat, they\u2019re the most affordable, and you can place them close to your plants. They\u2019re the coil-shaped bulbs you can find at any hardware store. CFLs also come in multiple spectrums, warm and cool (which we\u2019ll dive into later). You\u2019ll want to use a reflector attachment (which you can buy or make yourself) so that light is reflected and distributed evenly back onto the plants. CFLs won\u2019t break the bank on the electricity bill but they\u2019re not efficient enough to sustain a large, professional operation. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>T-5s<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> are fluorescents made for more industrial usage. They are lightweight, compact, don\u2019t require exhaust and they provide both blue and red spectrums. T-5s triple the light output of normal fluorescents without increasing wattage. T-5s are great for vegging in commercial operations because they don\u2019t create a lot of heat and the plants can tolerate them being very close so you can stack them on shelves to increase your square footage (example below). T-5s are also great for beginners to use throughout both the vegging and flowering cycles because they contain both red and blue spectrums. They\u2019re also appealing to beginners because they\u2019re affordable and don\u2019t require any additional equipment such as air-cooled hoods or ballasts. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-48234\" src=\"http:\/\/www.marijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/grow-op-05-1024x683.jpg?a8203f\" alt=\"grow-op-05\" width=\"702\" height=\"468\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.marijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/grow-op-05-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.marijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/grow-op-05-768x512.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.marijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/grow-op-05-1024x683.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.marijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/grow-op-05.jpg 1600w, http:\/\/www.marijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/grow-op-05-300x200@2x.jpg 600w, http:\/\/www.marijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/grow-op-05-768x512@2x.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 702px) 100vw, 702px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Example of a double-stacked veg operation using T-5s.

Photo courtesy of Allie Beckett.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>High-intensity discharge<\/strong> lights, also known as <strong>HID<\/strong>, are the go-to for large-scale grow operations. There is a larger initial investment but they will produce higher yields and are more energy efficient &#8211; one 400-watt HID light emits as much light as 800 watts of fluorescent tubing. But with HID\u2019s more equipment is required to cool them down, whereas you can easily hang fluorescents in your closet without risk of overheating. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are <strong>two types of HID Lights<\/strong>: Metal Halide and High-Pressure Sodium. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Metal Halides (MH)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> emit a white light that is strongest at the blue end of the spectrum. The blue spectrum imitates the spring\/summer seasons and also has increased UV. These lights are traditionally used for vegetative growth because they promote both leaf and cell wall growth. The white light makes it easy for the human eye to spot any nutrient deficiencies that would show through your plant\u2019s fan leaves. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>High-Pressure Sodium (HPS)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> bulbs are the industry standard for your plant\u2019s flowering stage. They emit a bright yellow light at the red end of the spectrum, simulating the fall\/winter seasons, which\u00a0promotes a more dense flower structure. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Most growers\u2019 preference is a mixture of both MH and HPS lights, but if you have to choose one, HPS is the way to go. MH bulbs will increase the amount of available UV light, but don&#8217;t create as vigorous of a stretch and fattening period. \u00a0The cannabis plant spends most of her time and energy flowering and creating the buds that we eventually smoke, so we want to give her the spectrum of light that best compliments the bloom phase. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-48246\" src=\"http:\/\/www.marijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/grow-4829-1024x540.jpg?a8203f\" alt=\"grow-4829\" width=\"702\" height=\"370\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.marijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/grow-4829-300x158.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.marijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/grow-4829-768x405.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.marijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/grow-4829-1024x540.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.marijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/grow-4829-351x185.jpg 351w, http:\/\/www.marijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/grow-4829-300x158@2x.jpg 600w, http:\/\/www.marijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/grow-4829-768x405@2x.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/www.marijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/grow-4829-351x185@2x.jpg 702w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 702px) 100vw, 702px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Example of a grow using both types of HID lights: Metal Halide and High-Pressure Sodium.

Photo courtesy of Allie Beckett.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>LEDs<\/strong> attract many indoor and greenhouse growers because they are one of the most energy efficient options on the market, conserving up to 75% energy. They are self-contained, no need for additional ballasts or exhaust systems, and they are also very easy to set up. LED technology is still new to the agricultural world but frequent advancements have been made over\u00a0the last 5 years. Some believe that LEDs increase trichome\/resin production during the flowering cycle. However, others have seen this increased resin come with the price of a decrease in yield (after using <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">only<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> LED lights). Each diode creates a specific frequency, which in the past have been focused in the 400 (blue) and 600 (red) range of the spectrum. \u00a0Now, diodes are being focused on a wider range of frequencies, including UV. This combination of red and blue diodes is what makes LED light appear purple. The limited spectrum of LED fixtures over the last 5 years have compromised the yield most HID growers are used to, but advances are in the field are beginning to make the LED compete on comparable level with HID.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-48236\" src=\"http:\/\/www.marijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/urbanfarms_5282-1024x683.jpg?a8203f\" alt=\"urbanfarms_5282\" width=\"702\" height=\"468\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.marijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/urbanfarms_5282-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.marijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/urbanfarms_5282-768x512.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.marijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/urbanfarms_5282-1024x683.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.marijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/urbanfarms_5282.jpg 1236w, http:\/\/www.marijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/urbanfarms_5282-300x200@2x.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 702px) 100vw, 702px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Cannabis flowering under LED lights.

The technology was initially discovered by Nikolas Tesla. Plasma lights are unique in their ability to use electromagnetic induction to create light that most closely resembles the sun. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.iunu.com\/faq\/\">Iunu<\/a> explains, &#8220;Plasma lights use radio waves to charge the electrons of the gases contained inside a quartz-crystal bulb. This technology allows IUNU to use a more stable, filament-less bulb and results in a more efficient transfer of power, minimizing wasted energy.&#8221; The biggest distinction between plasma lights is that they emit high levels of ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which is naturally produced by the sun and hard to create artificially. \u00a0The full light spectrum creates strong lateral branching during the vegetative process, and extra resinous plants during flowering.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Plasma<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fullest Light Spectrum<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Energy Efficient<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Low Temperature<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Expensive<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">New Technology<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I hope this overview of grow light technology has enlightened you to the possibilities of customizing your own indoor grow.
