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.

On paper, LED grow lights seem to outperform HPS grow lights (the current standard for growing marijuana) in almost every way.

For one, LEDs use significantly less electricity than HPS bulbs, plus they only give off a fraction of the heat.

Nebula Haze, experienced grower and co-founder of GrowWeedEasy.com, states, "HPS grow lights are often at the heart of many growing problems, especially when marijuana plants are grown in a small closet or cupboard. The heat given off by an HPS grow light quickly builds up and can seriously hurt and even kill a marijuana plant if the hot air is not vented out through an exhaust system"

The fact that HPS lights produce excessive heat is one of the major reasons why there is so much interest in LED grow lights.

In contrast with HPS lights, LED lights do not require growers to install expensive ducting or a ventilation system to control the heat.

In fact, according to the manufacturers’ specifications, most LED grow lights can be plugged into a standard electrical outlet and turned on immediately in any small space, with no worries about uncontrollable temperature changes.

So LEDs use less electricity and produce less heat than regular grow lights, why is there a controversy?

Nebula answers, "The question for any real-life pot farmer is this: Do LED grow lights really work for growing marijuana? Marijuana plants require a very specific type of light to grow. Can you still produce the prized THC-laden cannabis flowers using only one of these LED light systems"

To solve this puzzle, Nebula Haze joined forces with fellow grower endive, from GrowMedical420.com. The two of them recently released a review and case study of their attempts at growing marijuana with LED grow lights.

Nebula says, "Our goal is to share the straight facts about LED grow lights. We know how important it is for patients (who have a doctor’s rec) to successfully grow medical marijuana and treat their debilitating disorders. No one wants to lose a crop of medicine because you bought the wrong lights. This kind of information just isn’t out there for medical marijuana patients, which spurred me and endive to put together this marijuana LED review for other growers"
