LED is the acronym for Light Emitting Diode, that is, it is a diode that emits light, a small device that allows the passage of current in only one direction, which, when polarized, emits light. This represents a great advantage over other technologies that concentrate all the light in a spotlight, since in an LED unit there are many diodes spread over its entire surface, something <b>that<\/b> <b>allows a much more interesting dispersion of light<\/b> so that a good incidence to the entire crop area.<\/p>\n<p>The <b>light for classic marijuana<\/b> had always been <b>HPS<\/b> (high pressure sodium) or HM (metal halide) technology because when indoor marijuana was first started growing in the late 1960s and early 1970s, it was the best available lighting. At that time they also began to use <b>fluorescent<\/b> lamps, which had the advantage of not emitting the heat that HPS give off, but they were only valid for covering the vegetative period and were not used for flowering due to their lack of intensity. Subsequently, CFLs (compact fluorescent) appeared, which are not very effective for producing buds either, but are still used <b>for growing or maintaining mother plants and cuttings<\/b><b>.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>A few years ago, <a href=\"https:\/\/pevgrow.com\/en\/4449-lec-lamps\"><b>LEC<\/b> (light emitting ceramic)<\/a> technology appeared on the scene, which is similar in spectrum to HM but does not give off as much heat or consume as much, so it had certain advantages over classic lights for growing grass. However, although they were very successful at first, they were quickly overtaken by the latest generation LEDs.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_54319\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-54319\" style=\"width: 566px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-54319 size-full\" title=\"Comparing the best marijuana lights of today\" src=\"https:\/\/pevgrow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/best-lights-for-marijuana-today.jpg\" alt=\"Comparing the best marijuana lights of today\" width=\"576\" height=\"694\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pevgrow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/best-lights-for-marijuana-today.jpg 576w, https:\/\/pevgrow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/best-lights-for-marijuana-today-249x300.jpg 249w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-54319\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Comparing the best marijuana lights of today<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%F0%9F%94%A5_LED_lights_for_weed\"><\/span>\ud83d\udd25 LED lights for weed<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The truth is that when the first models came out, many of us thought that growing indoors with LEDs would be a utopia, because they left much to be desired.

This is a great advantage because <b>they serve both for the growth and flowering of plants<\/b>, and also allow you to see the real color of the leaves, and thus quickly check their health status or detect deficiencies, pests and fungi at first sight. In addition to being a good thing for us, the plants appreciate it because <b>this light spectrum from the LED does not cause any stress<\/b>. HPS emit a type of light that is very powerful but not very effective for plants, since it simulates the spectrum of the sun in summer, so they can be good for flowering but not so much for the vegetative phase. Metal halide lamps, on the other hand, simulate the spectrum of the sun in spring, therefore they are very good for covering the growth phase but not so much for flowering.<\/p>\n<p>The height of the LEDs in marijuana cultivation is another advantage of this technology compared to traditional HPS. The height of the HPS was really marked by the temperature, although it has always been said that a 600w lamp must be placed 60 cm from the plants, the ideal was to bring them as close as possible within what the temperature allows, which in this type of light is usually very high. The LEDs emit hardly any heat, and this gives you the possibility of getting them very close to the plants, although <b>it is recommended to leave a minimum distance of approximately 30 cm<\/b> from the highest points of the plant.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pfgreen\"><b>With current LEDs, plants produce larger, denser and heavier buds, but more importantly<\/b>, they also <b>produce more resin and essential oils<\/b>. The same clone grown with HPS and with LED, the most normal thing is that it generates more THC and terpenes with LED than with HPS. This means that weed grown with LEDs will be tastier and more potent than weed grown with high pressure sodium lamps.<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%F0%9F%9A%80_Fluorescent_CFL_LEP_green_light_ultraviolet_and_other_technologies_for_indoor_cultivation\"><\/span>\ud83d\ude80 Fluorescent, CFL, LEP, green light, ultraviolet and other technologies for indoor cultivation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Fluorescent tubes are still widely used in cannabis cultivation<\/b>, but above all as maintenance light rather than for growth or flowering. This lighting is cold light, the color is usually white, and as they do not emit heat they can be very practical to place in shelves for rooting and maintaining cuttings. CFLs are compact low-energy fluorescents, and their main mission is the same as normal fluorescents, although CFLs can be used for the growth phase or for mother plant rooms. However, over the last few years, LEDs have taken all the prominence from fluorescents because <b>they are also low in consumption, do not emit heat either, and are much more efficient<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p><b>LEP technology<\/b> (Light Emitting Plasma) was very revolutionary at the time, but over time it has also been relegated to the background. It is a kind of mix between HPS and LEC, with great efficiency but with a lot of heat emission as a general rule. This type of lighting is <b>more suitable for very large grow rooms<\/b>, since with a 1000w unit you can illuminate an area of \u200b\u200b2m x 2m, but placing the unit at a great height, so they do not make as much sense in grow cabinets. or small rooms.<\/p>\n<p>We all know that darkness must be respected during the night cycle of plants, because otherwise we could cause light stress. So what can we do to be able to work on the crop without disturbing them? There are 2 options, either work during the day cycle, <b>or place a green light lamp<\/b>.

For years it has been known that plants grown in high mountains, on the equator, or in the tropics, generate more cannabinoids and terpenes than those grown in other regions of the planet. Within ultraviolet light there are also <b>UVB rays<\/b>, which, unlike UVA, have the ability to reduce the production of CBD, so it would not be so interesting for crops aimed at therapeutic consumers.<\/p>\n<p>Another advantage of <b>ultraviolet light for growing marijuana<\/b> is that it can serve as a fungicide, reducing the germination capacity of the spores and slowing down the growth of the mycelium. As a negative point, it must be said that prolonged exposure to this type of light on our part is not good, it makes the use of protective glasses mandatory, and your skin may suffer burns or other problems. But as has happened with the rest of the types of light for cultivation, the new latest generation LEDs are taking over all indoor cultivation spaces, and being full spectrum they also emit a small part of UVA and UVB rays, for what are the best for everything.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%9C%A8_LED_lights_for_marijuana_for_sale\"><\/span>\u2728 LED lights for marijuana for sale<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you are already convinced of renewing the lighting for your cultivation with LED lights but you still do not know which one to choose, I recommend you start with a bar <b>system such as those of the Lumatek Zeus models<\/b>, since from our point of view they are the best in relation to price quality.

It is a color that hardly changes the real color of what it reflects, just as it happens with sunlight, but it contains all the colors that the plant needs for its correct development, from growth to flowering.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style='text-align:left' class='yasr-auto-insert-visitor'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time<\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\">8<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minutes<\/span><\/span> &nbsp; Lighting for cannabis cultivation has improved a lot in recent years, thanks to technological advances in this regard, the demands of growers, legalization in many countries, and above all the need to achieve the most interesting type of light &#8230; <a title=\"Best led grow lights 2023\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/pevgrow.com\/blog\/en\/the-best-lighting-for-growing-marijuana-plants-indoors\/\" aria-label=\"Read more about Best led grow lights 2023\">Leer m\u00e1s<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":57271,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"yasr_overall_rating":0,"yasr_post_is_review":"","yasr_auto_insert_disabled":"","yasr_review_type":"BlogPosting","footnotes":""},"categories":[511],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Best Cannabis Lights of 2022 - Pevgrow<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"What is the best light to grow marijuana indoors?
