Plant Grow Lights - HID Lights

Today's topic of 'Successful Guide To Growing
Tropical Plants is grow lights, HID lights
to be exact.

HID - High Intensity Discharge - lights provide you,
the indoor gardener, with ideal conditions
to grow your tropical plants, tomatoes, peppers,
herbs, and more, all year long without worrying
about weather phenomena like high winds, thunderstorms,
damaging hail, and cold temperatures.

With grow lights you are able to grow plants indoors
that you thought were impossible to grow.

HID lights emit a lot of heat which cuts down on your
energy bill if you decide to add one to your living room
or family room.

Special light fixtures/reflectors are needed for the
use of HID lights.

The three types of HID lights are....

Metal Halide

High Pressure Sodium

Agrosun

Metal Halide lights are high in the blue light spectrum
which promotes lush foliage growth.


High Pressure Sodium lights are high in the red light
spectrum which promotes budding and flowering.

Agrosun lights combine BOTH the blue and red light
spectrum and are therefore considered ideal for
growing foliage and flowering plants plus vegetables
under the same bulb.

Agrosun bulbs are used in Metal Halide reflectors/
fixtures with the same wattage.

Personally I'm using one 1000 Watt Agrosun and one
400 Watt High Pressure Sodium light both of which
provide excellent results.

Now is the time of the year many of you bring your plants
inside and face the nightmare of finding the right spot for
them. There don't seem to be enough windows in your
home to provide your plants with the correct
lighting conditions.

This is the time of the year to include grow lights in your
indoor garden.
