High Pressure Sodium lighting for Grow Light
2014-04-17 02:07:11

High pressure sodium lighting systems produce a red/orange spectrum which is an ideal choice if you wish to encourage rapid fruiting, flowering and budding. Our high pressure sodium lighting systems are second to none and provide everything you need to start lighting your hydroponic garden: bulbs, grow light reflectors, ballasts, socket assembly, lamp cords and more. Our high pressure sodium lighting systems are very high quality and come with bulb and hps ballasts warranties. Choose from compact high pressure sodium lighting systems, vertical systems, horizontal systems, Hydrofarm sodium lighting systems, Sunlight Supply systems and many, many more. Select a basic high pressure sodium lighting system or upgrade the bulbs – there are many options for all your growing needs.

Both metal halide (MH) lamps and high pressure sodium (HPS) lamps emit most of their light in spectrums which the plants use very inefficiently, yellow and green. Overall, HPS lamps emit more red and blue light, the spectrums that the plants use most efficiently to fuel photosynthesis. Part of the reason for this is that HPS lamps emit 10-20% more total light.

Vegetative plants grown under 1000 watt HPS lamps grow faster than those under 1000 watt MH lamps. There is absolutely no reason to use MH lamps either in flowering or vegetative growth stages. MH lamps are useful for displaying plants.
If you set up alternating rows of MH and HPS lamps you would notice a wave pattern, with more growth under the HPS lamps.
Don't let grower myths or garden shop sales pitches convince you to buy unneeded equipment. Your best light source is a 1000 watt HPS lamp.
