Lighting for marijuana: important tips

Lighting for marijuana: important tips

In nature, hemp goes through the vegetative stage in natural light. In order to achieve a rich indoor cannabis harvest, it is important to mimic sunlight as closely as possible. It is not enough just to buy powerful lamps. It is important to use them correctly.

Next, we will tell you how to choose lighting for growing cannabis, adjust the light regime and not harm the plants.

Select cannabis lamps

Growers use three types of lamps to provide marijuana with light:

  1. Fluorescent

These lamps are used to illuminate cannabis in small grow boxes. They are also suitable for stealth growing. This lighting system allows you to grow cannabis indoors and then transplant it outdoors. Fluorescent lamps are often installed as additional lighting on the sides of grow boxes if the lower part of the plant does not receive enough light from the main source.

The main advantages of these devices are low power consumption, low price, low heating during operation.

The lighting is not bright enough for a medium grow box. During flowering, these lamps reduce the yield.

  1. Gas discharge

Powerful lighting systems that are used during flowering and vegetation. The light from them easily penetrates the cannabis crown. Therefore, to illuminate the grow box from the sides, you do not need to install additional lamps.

These lamps are used in rooms of any size. They are good value for money.

This is a fire hazardous equipment. Lamps generate a lot of heat, and you need to install cooling systems with them.

  1. LED

With these lamps, you can create different spectra of light radiation. This allows you to maintain optimal conditions for growing marijuana at different stages. In some lamps, you can adjust the power of lighting.

These lamps have low energy consumption and high efficiency. They are easy to install, do not overheat and last a long time.

Some models are expensive. They have an average penetrating power of light radiation.

LED lamps are considered the best lighting option for growing marijuana. They allow you to create the optimal radiation spectrum at all stages of plant development. At competitive prices, this cannabis lighting can be purchased at the Coffeeshop® online store.

Set your lighting mode properly

At different stages of marijuana growth, it is important to use light waves of a certain spectrum. There are four primary colors:

  • Blue - useful for seed germination, plant vegetation and active growth;
  • Red- increases root growth rate, maturation rate and bud growth;
  • Green - stimulates the development of stems and leaves;
  • White - supports plant growth in the absence of natural light.

If you illuminate cannabis with lamps with light waves of the appropriate spectrum, this will accelerate the growth, flowering and fruiting of plants.

Avoid Common Mistakes

Even when novice growers know what lamps are needed for growing cannabis, they often make mistakes when installing and using them:

  • Light source set too far

The plant lacks light, which causes its stem to stretch towards the lamp, becoming too thin and long.

  • Rays of light fall obliquely

Lighting is most effective when directed perpendicular to the marijuana surface.

  • Plants are lit unevenly

If the rays of light fall only on the top of the plant, the rest of the bush develops worse.

If you avoid these mistakes, you will be able to harvest a richer cannabis crop. Everything you need to grow cannabis is sold in the Coffeeshop® online store.

Coffeeshop.ua® recommends that you comply with the laws of the country in which you are located, the information is provided for informational purposes only and can be used in practice only where cannabis cultivation is permitted.
