Can Grow Lights Burn Plants? (Be Careful With This Type)
We all know that grow lights generate heat. And we know that too much heat is bad for plants. But do grow lights actually burn plants physically? Or is it just that too much heat in the grow room prevents plants from flourishing? It's both. If the grow environment is too hot, plants can die. Even without suffering any physical burns. But some types of grow lights … [Read more...] about Can Grow Lights Burn Plants? (Be Careful With This Type)

Best LED Grow Light Under $100 (Reviewed And Compared)
A few years ago, finding a decent LED grow light under $100 would have been impossible. Even $500 or $1000 was hard. Don't get me wrong: there were always tons of lights in this price range.

Most lights under a hundred dollars are still … [Read more...] about Best LED Grow Light Under $100 (Reviewed And Compared)
2000 Watt LED Grow Light (The Best And Why 2000W Is A Lie)
They are lying. No "2000 Watt" LED grow light actually uses 2000w. In fact, there is no actual 2000 watt light available on the market. The biggest brands don't even advertise anything above 1000 watts. Many of the larger Chinese brands, however, have "2000 watt" lights. Some go up to "3000 watts." But even just a quick look at their specs will show you how much … [Read more...] about 2000 Watt LED Grow Light (The Best And Why 2000W Is A Lie)

But you have to know how to determine if a product is any good, since they tend to have high … [Read more...] about How To Tell If A High Pressure Sodium Bulb Is Bad
6/2 Light Schedule (Why We Don’t Recommend It)
We like to keep things simple. And that means sticking to tried-and-true methods. Weed that is growing outdoors enjoys long periods of daylight during vegging and around 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness during flowering. That is why indoor growers provide 18 hours of daytime during vegging and then switch to 12 hours to induce flowering. It works.
