Which LED Grow Lights Work for Cannabis?

Led Grow Lights are relatively new to the cannabis growing scene, but they have become wildly popular over the last few years with their ability to produce great yields while staying cool and using a reasonable amount of electricity.

Yields! With a quality LED Grow Light and an average-to-good grow, you can expect yields of about 0.5g/watt. It depends a lot on strain, and pro growers can yield even more, but that’s a good rule of thumb. As an example, a 200W LED (200W true power draw, not an “equivalent” wattage) would yield about 100 grams on average, or 3.5 ounces.

Today’s LED models are much better for growing cannabis than the ones available even half a decade ago. They have wider spectrums of light (instead of purely red and blue light) which results in greener, healthier growth and better-looking buds. Additionally, LED manufacturers have developed specialized lenses to point light directly to the plants and increase penetration, resulting in bigger yields for the same amount of light compared to older models.

Modern LED Grow Lights can produce impressive results. These cannabis plants were grown completely under LED grow lights from seed to harvest!
