LED Grow Lights Make Growing Marijuana Easy... or Do They?

For patients who need medical marijuana, the progress of LED grow lights has been closely watched. LEDs (short for light emitting diodes) were first invented in 1927. More efficient than nearly any other type of artificial light, these diodes were too weak to ever be a contender for growing plants until recently. But continuing research has resulted in LED lights that are stronger than ever before. Within the last few years, many LED grow light systems have sprung up on the market for indoor gardeners. Some claim that LED grow light technology may finally put the cultivation of a few marijuana plants within reach of anybody who has a few extra bucks and a spare closet.
