This is the first article of a two-part series that aims to take a closer look at lamps, considering aspects such as design specifications, maximum achievable coverage of light and tips for usage. Right now though the focus starts with recommended hanging heights of High Intensity Discharge lamps (think SOLAAR, Grolux, Sodium Lamps, Metal Halide Lamps, etc) and Fluorescent Lamps (e.g T5HO Sunblasters and Eco-Lights). Hopefully this should prove to be of use, as it is something that you need to consider throughout an entire crop!

Switching to the flowering stage
Switching to the flowering phase is a seminal point in the growing cycle, as you finally move on from vegetative development to fruit production. Obviously there are several key changes that need to be made to the way you grow your plants during the last 8-16 weeks of a crop, most notably regarding lights on times and nutrients. Our expert grower Keith looks a little closer at the all-important process of switching to flowering, in both soil and hydro set ups. It’s a helpful starting point if you’re new to indoor gardening and a good refresher for more experienced members.

However the question is, will the original model continue to reign supreme? You’ve got one way of finding out – read our comprehensive review!

What’s in a light? What you need to know about light levels
It’s generally accepted that more light = more growth and to a point that’s completely true. What it doesn’t tell you is that there are lots of different types of light and your plant only uses certain spectrums.
