These New LEDs May Be the Future for Growing Marijuana

Metal halide and HPS (high-pressure sodium) lights have been the standard in growing cannabis for a long time, but LEDs have quickly proven to be more efficient. A light that uses less energy and has a low heat output has made LED lighting an attractive solution for many of today’s cannabis growers.
The fact that LED lamps emit more light per watt than incandescent bulbs allows the grower to use multiple LED lamps. The main concern with LEDs is price—the technology is more energy-efficient, but the initial cost of an LED can be a deterrent for a lot of growers.
