Grow Lights, Grow Lamps

Light is necessary for all plants to grow. When creating an artificial growing environment,bear in mind that the light is the most important equipment in the room. Blue spectrum light is most effective for vegetative growing, whilst red spectrum light triggers hormonal changes in a plant stimulating fruit and flower production. High Pressure Sodium (HPS) is best for flowering,whilst Metal Halide and to a lesser extent Grolux are best for vegetative growing. However, you can use an HPS Nav T-super or Son T-plus for vegging and flowering with good results. Use a contactor with all HPS systems if working with a timer! For mother plants and seedlings or cuttings you should use a high output flourescent in a blue spectrum(Starlite or Eco-light 125w or 200w).
