This lens covers all of the kinds of lights used in hydroponic gardens. Since indoor gardens require a sun substitute, the next best thing is a grow light.

There is a new kind of bulb that has hit the market which contains two arc tubes within it. It is, in essence, two bulbs in one. The Hortiux Super Blue contains both a 600w High Pressure Sodium arc tube and a 400w Metal Halide arc tube within its glass housing. This creates a true “Full Spectrum” canopy of light for plants to bathe and grow in. The light produced by these bulbs is lower in overall lumens created but very highly absorbable to plants.

Fresh Tips (Grow Lights #8)

This week’s focus: Grow Lights
#8 – Enhanced Spectrum Bulbs
Enhanced Spectrum bulbs produce a richer and more complete spectrum of light that is more accessible by plants. An enhanced spectrum HPS bulb (like the Lucalox – PSL or the Hortilux) is one that puts off more Blue light when compared to a standard High Pressure Sodium, which only emits Red and Orange light. An enhanced spectrum Metal Halide bulb puts either more Red or Orange light when compared to a standard MH (as in the SunMaster Warm Deluxe) or conversely a deeper richer spectrum of Blue light (for example, the SunMaster Cool Deluxe or the Hortilux Blue . Enhanced bulbs will either promote more Fruit and more Flowers, help with the overall vitality of the plant, or it keep the internodes tighter, and the leaves larger and greener.

That’s all for today folks. Come back tomorrow for tip #9 when we focus on Full Spectrum “Dual Arc Tube” Bulbs. Visit http://www.igrowhydro.com for the best selection on all your grow lights needs.
