LED grow light technology has been improving rapidly especially in the last 1-2 years. Although just about any LED grow light (even the worst ones) can grow good weed, some newer models developed specifically for cannabis are getting better yields, density, and plant growth rates than older and generic models. We are currently doing extensive testing between different best LED grow lights to determine which are the “best”.

Why Choose LED Grow Lights?

LED’s create substantially more light per watt than t5 grow lights or HID lighting. This additionally implies they run cooler, decreasing power costs and additionally the danger of flame in your grow room.

Most full spectrum LED grow lights accompany little fans worked in, and don’t require extra ventilation with the exception of in unique conditions.

• LEDs are energy efficient grow lights and last for up to 50,000 hours. If you’re using them on a 12-hour timer this is equal to 11 years. Some people argue LEDs are expensive and, to be fair, they have a higher upfront cost than their HPS counterparts. Over time, however, they are cheap grow lights to run long-term thanks to their reduced power consumption.
• They can be plugged into a regular socket and usually don’t require a separate ballast so they are easier to use in small spaces.
• LED plant grow lights produce less heat than HPS grow lights and can be placed closer to your plants without risking damage. Producing less heat also means you expend less energy maintaining the correct temperature in your grow room.
• LEDs can be customized to emit specific wavelengths of light (for example you can have red LED grow lights but studies show adding green and blue LED grow lights will help plants perform better. With LEDs you can adjust the colour balance to suit the specific plant type.)
• LED full spectrum grow lights are the best grow lights for cannabis. (I’ll discuss why LEDs are the best lights for growing cannabis in full detail in their own section below.)
• LEDs don’t contain harmful mercury so they don’t need to be disposed of in a particular way. This, in addition to their energy efficiency, makes LED grow lights the best choice for the environment.

Fluence SPYDR 2p 632W

SPYDR 2p is a full-cycle top lighting solution for commercial cultivation, with the power to scale from vegetative growth to higher light intensities in bloom. For optimal results, we recommend SPYDR 2p deployed in environments with C02 supplementation between 800-1400 ppm in reproductive growth stage due to high PPFD levels. SPYDR 2p builds on the previous generation’s SPYDRx PLUS performance.

The SPYDR 2p has been designed with commercial growers in mind. With the upgraded form factor, the SPYDR 2 Series unfolds out of the box for a faster installation and a plug and play solution. SPYDR Series is ideal for both multi and single-tier applications including vertical farms, growth cambers, tables with adjustable aisles, and tents.

With a remotely mountable power supply, the SPYDR 2 Series is just 1.3” thin with a recommended mounting height of 6” above canopy. The SPYDR Series is purposefully designed for multi-tier cultivation – from veg to bloom – with PPFD up to 1,060 μmol/m2/s over a 4’x4’ canopy.

All SPYDR models are dimmable with our light intensity Dimmer for precise control over PPFD and offer flexibility to instantly accommodate a new crop with varying light requirements.

PhysioSpec Indoor is a full-cycle spectrum optimized for rapid growth and complete plant development. Tailored for growing plants from initiation to senescence (germination, clones/cuttings, mothers, vegetative and flowering applications) in indoor environments. With a CRI rating of 85, PhysioSpec Indoor offers a beautiful work and research environment with vivid colors and greater contrast to study the health of your crop.

• Lance Hangers: Provides a 2-point hanging solution, but the customer must supply their own rope ratchets, chain or cable. PSE must also be centered on the fixture or it will be off balance. This is the standard option when not using multi-tier racks.
• Adjustable Hanging Kit: Provides a 2-point hanging solution with 5 feet of braided stainless steel wires and carabiners. PSE must also be centered on the fixture or it will be off balance.
• Short "V" Mounting Brackets: Provides a 4-point mounting solution that's ideal for waterfall decking on top of 2"-3.5" support beams (rolling racks and some pallet racks).
• Long "V" Mounting Brackets: Provides a 4-point mounting solution that's ideal for waterfall decking on top of 4"-5" support beams (pallet racks).
• Solid Decking Mounting Brackets: Provides a 4-point mounting solutions that's ideal for level solid decking and rolling tables. Requires two front-to-back support bars per fixture.

Grower's Choice ROI-E720

By far the most powerful LED in its class with a standard PPF of 1850 umol/m2/s and a “BOOST” mode that raises the output to 2050 umol/m2/s, for professional cultivators who demand ultimate light output.

The ROI-E720 was engineered with greater dimensions to provide more versatility and better canopy coverage, especially to the outer edges of 4’x4’ cultivation areas.

The ROI-E720 is IP65 water-resistant rated, UL8800 certified, and Horti DLC certified for energy efficiency rebate eligibility. With unbeatable safety, reliability, savings and performance, the ROI-E720 is unquestionably the right choice for cultivators who demand only the best.
