    What is the best lighting to start a grow with??

    #2
    Welcome to the forum Sauve757.
    That is a big subject with a lot of variables I would suggest to start reading here.

    There many grow lights that work well for growing cannabis indoors, but they boil down to 3 popular types: fluorescents (CFLs, T5s), HIDs (MH, HPS, LEC) and LEDs. Learn the differences so you can pick the best option for your setup!


    if you would like to tell us a little more about what you're trying to accomplish plant number, space you have, budget we would love to recommend something.

      I would recommend the classic switchable hps/metal halide set up. All dependant on your room of course. Buying an led with out the proper knowledge is more than likely a waste of time. After you read a bit on the science of LEDs, I would say take a crack at those .but to start, stick with something that is pretty standard.

            As you can see, there are a lot of options but like Mr. Furley said, it depends on what you are planning, budget and space. Just be prepared to buy lots of things twice or just spend a little more now to get what you need. It can be confusing at first but it will come and there is a lot of good advice here you can trust. I started out with CFL's just to try my hand at growing and had good results but have upgraded everything since I started.
