How to Choose a Grow Light: T5 Fluorescent vs. CMH vs. LED Grow Lights Explained

Рет қаралды 420,523

Күн бұрын

Grow lights can be really confusing. There are a ton of different brands, technologies, and budget ranges available to you. The best grow lights accomplish the job of providing the plants you're growing with enough light in a usable spectrum, at an equipment and energy cost that is affordable to you.
So in this sense, there is never a "best" - there's just a "best for you." In this video we go through a LOT of lights and explain some of their pros, cons, and considerations.

Great guide and love how you are not bashing each - providing pros and cons is a fair way of educating ppl. Also love how you talk about affordability- there are a lot of first time growers spending 1000$ on a light to find they don’t like growing and end up selling them or have them sit in a garage unused for years. Thanks for this!

You're right I still have my eight bulb T5 light system that was my very first light outside of a Black Dog led one was for Virgin one was for flowering. I actually now have a bunch of one bulb T5 4-ft sections and I do the perimeter of my tents. It really adds an extra bonus around the outside edge which usually is lacking most times. Especially in the corners. However I just got today a ceramic high pressure sodium Eye Hortilux SE600. Quite a upgrade from the T5 days

Checkout Shane from Migro out. All he does is test lights. He's in the game obviously but each light that I've tested has matched up to his results. He's one of a few out there. Even some the low to mid leds are better nowadays. A decent entry lights are the Spiderfarmer 1000 and Marshydro TS1000 - 4000 at 160ish and 140ish respectively. Btw their around 150w from the wall with good numbers at and under 18". Good luck with your search for lighting.

My car uses HID bulbs in the headlights. I purchased it as a pre-owned vehicle in 2008. I've had to replace the left front headlight twice since then. A regular bulb was about $12. The HID bulb was considerably more expensive. Thank you for posting this video. I haven't really been looking for grow lights; but, when I go to the stores here in town and end up in the hardware department which is near the lighting department, I will take a look at the lights. But, everything is LED light bulbs and I do not see anything labeled as a grow light. Grow lights are probably something that I will have to order online or go to a bigger city with more options.

Was hoping to find a good four footer, to cover four standard size seed flats. I found what I th8nk is a good one, but I did notice that as I raised the light as the plants grew taller, the ones on the outer edges leaned in towards to center to get more light. I guess it wasn’t bright enuf, although it is a T5 HO light. I guess you just pay your nickel and take your chances!

But im also new to grow lights. I just used a $16 LED one from walmart this year and successfully grew seedlings. But they didn't really flourish from that point. So i understand i need different wavelengths, and i think the LEDs are what i need, but would be nice to learn an in-depth break down of each one. ----- I really need to watch this.
