Indoor ontogenesis helps a nurseryman extend the season by bring home the bacon plants with the condition necessary to flourish . gardener utilise mickle , land , moisture , temperature , and lights for their indoor gardens . Plants continue to grow indoors when outside temperatures are uncongenial . A gardener may choose to grow herbs , seedling , flowers , or small vegetable plants indoors with the proper works lights .

Metal Halide

Metal halide works luminosity bulbs get color in the blue spectrum . This lighter is favorable for growing leaves and go along plants compact . This case of plant light is a general - design Inner Light source and produces 125 lumens per W . The lights are bright and want air travel circulation to reduce heat energy buildup . If the temperature is too warm , rear the light higher above the plant .

High-Pressure Sodium

high-pitched - pressure sodium light produce a red - Orange River gleam . The colour of the visible light spectrum emit by HPS Light Within helps flowering industrial plant . The use of HPS grow light for seedling or untried plants is discouraged as they tend to promote rangy growth . However , HPS lights combine with sunlight are in effect for indoor - spring up plants at all stage of development .

Fluorescent

T5 fluorescent light , also called a high - output fluorescent , and compact fluorescent fixture lights provide effective and good glow light conditions . The T5 is a special fluorescent grow ignitor and not the same as a standard fluorescent light . These light source output 5,000 lumens per tubing with piffling heat , so they may be placed closer to the plant than MH or HPS grow luminousness .

LED

light-emitting diode grow lights are an in effect alternative to MH and HPS grow lights . They offer blasphemous and red spectrum sparkle , they run cooler , and are less expensive to operate than MH or HPS lights .

Additional Equipment

Grow lights are part of a system that provides luminance to indoor works . The system let in the light bulb , a ballast , a reflector , and a cord . uprise light systems are hung from the ceiling or a stand so that the emitted light covers the plants . The summit of the grow light is a trade - off between the diffusion or intensity of the light and the heat generated . Plants take 12 to 16 hours of light source per day and a period of darkness . A timer is useful to control timing the light on and off .
