Hps Grow Light Systems

Your lighting system is one of the most important, and most expensive aspects to your grow system. Having a good grow light system can make or break the quality of your end product. Today, we are going to discuss HPS light systems. HPS, or High Pressure Sodium, lights are part of the grouping called HID (High Intensity Discharge) lighting. This type of lighting is the most popular among all growers around the world due to the high lumen output.

HPS lights are used during your flowering period of growing. This is because of the particular spectrum of light that is given off by these types of grow light systems. High Pressure Sodium lights give off an orange-tinged glow that could be compared to the harvest sun. It is said that this spectrum of light significantly enhances density and volume of the harvest due to the increased stimulation of the floral hormones.

Flowering plants need a significant amount more light than vegetative plants, so it is highly advised to use an HPS system over your typical fluorescents or Metal Halide lighting systems. Many growers will actually leave a Metal Halide grow light in their grow area along with introducing a High Pressure Sodium bulb as well. This way their light has drastically increased and they are able to give their plants all the light they need from the correct spectrums.

Whether you decide to use an HPS grow light system or you prefer MH, the general consensus is that the HPS systems are the best you can get for flowering your plants. Do your own research and reading to make sure you make the right decision for your room.
