Grow Lights : Fluorescent and Metal Halide

Types of Grow Lights

Whether youre growing a full crop of lettuce and herbs or taking care of a houseplant, you have several different types of technology when selecting a grow light bulb for your indoor plants. All of these indoor grow lights are used in grow light fixtures, most of which have a reflector to aim the light down at your growing bed. Mounting height and distance from the plants will vary based on the growth cycle, type of grow light bulb, and type of plant. These plant lights may also be used in hydroponic and greenhouse setups.

Indoor Grow Cycles

Growing plants indoors allow you more control over the plants environment than even a greenhouse. By controlling not only how long lights are on or off, but also the Kelvin of the lights being used, you can trick plants into thinking its the right season to bloom. Start a vegetable garden inside and guarantee fresh herbs and sides for your holiday roast regardless of whether the plants are normally in-season. Each plant has different light requirements and different times of year that its in bloom or in season. By sectioning off your grow room with individual light systems, you can grow winter and summer plants in the same room by adjusting the light patterns for each fixture separately as long as the plants dont also require drastically different temperatures or humidity.
