Ya can always buy a
mars hydro panel.....hehehe...
Well again user preference Mars does work but at the end of the day
Before light, temperature and humidity are your biggest factors. Your light must be able to effectively give this to you or no matter the quality and intensity, your plant is suffering and not able to grow to potential or even competent depending on severity.
For most, 400 to 600 watt HPS for yield, and quality add LEC MH (better than traditional MH) in terms of spectrum and light longevity all things correct. Followed by Plasma/LED lighting. I put LED lighting behind LEC MH due to pricing aspects and for most, you will not notice a difference to justify the extra cost for what their typically is, all things correct.
When people see a boost in plant growth it is typically not really due to the light as it is the better environment than they experienced before.
As close to full spectrum for quality but the shitty spectrum but intensity of HPS is where most truly want to be. HPS and MH or LEC MH are cost effective ways of obtaining close to full spectrum and adding quality. No matter what they tell you. The heat generated from a 400w is similar to high end LED's give or a take a bit here and there but no difference to get excited about.
Use lights as a tool. the realities of LED lighting and costs and true comparison to accepted standard.
Picking equipment the first time can be daunting. Be wary of too true to be true and products that seem to magically fit your need. Mostly this marketing is about as accurate as political ads. Their is much in between the lines and assumptions made without true merit but maybe not technically a lie.
