What Type Of Lighting Is Needed For Hydroponics Crops

The lighting that is used when planting a hydroponics garden is either metal halide or high pressure sodium lighting. The metal halide lighting is best for the plants when they are seedlings and just beginning to grow, because they are close to a cool florescent lighting that gives off of a blue spectrum.

The use of high sodium lighting is best used when the plants are flowering, however if having to make a choice between lighting the high sodium lights would be the better choice.

There are many hydroponics gardeners that choose to use both types of lighting to get the optimal crop of cannabis this is because the different lighting is used during different stages of growth to promote the best possible mature plants.

One of the ways of using both the metal halide lights and the high pressure sodium light is too purchase the high pressure sodium light fixture and then purchase and then to purchase bulbs of each halide and high pressure sodium of the same wattage. This way the bulbs can be changed at the proper times during the growing of the hydroponics weed crop. This is a way of having both the needed lights for optimum growing and at the same time staying within a budget for a hydroponics setup.

The lighting is just as important as any other part of the setup whether the marijuana plants are being grown with hydroponics or just the average indoor garden one because without the proper lighting the plants will not produce the expected harvest.
