With legal medicinal marijuana now available in 33 American states and D.C., the industry is set for a golden age.

In 2017, the global legal marijuana industry was worth around $9.5 billion per annum; the United States accounted for 90% of it!According to Grand View Research, the global market could grow to over $146 billion per year by 2025.

A two by two-foot (2’ x 2’) tent will cost approximately $120 and can house a maximum of three plants.A 3’ x 3’ tent houses up to four plants and could cost more than $200.

There is a variety of grow light options which vary in price and power.Compact Fluorescent Lights (CFLs) for example, are the weakest but are useful for small grow rooms and available from as little as $50 for 200 Watts, depending on the spectrum.

$30.Other EquipmentIf you are using soil, it is also necessary to purchase different sized pots.

If you live in an area where the water isn’t suitable for weed, consider buying a reverse osmosis system to purify the water.

For instance, you’ll find red wavelengths that primarily aid in flowering; blue wavelengths that are best for growing vegetables; and practically a huge rainbow of wavelengths that boost the photosynthesis process in your plants.Among all of these wavelengths, there is one specific wavelength that always invites a degree of deliberation.

Well, ultraviolet light might be beneficial for your plant’s overall development: but that’s only true when you understand how exactly to use these lights.What is UV Light?Often referred to as UV light for short, ultraviolet light is technically a type of electromagnetic radiation garnered from natural sunlight.Every time you are out in the sun, you are exposed to UV light.It is broken up into three different categories of wavelengths — UVA, UVB, and UVC.It helps plants grow in several ways and also may improve the overall potency and quality of your flower.But, only certain types of UV light are really beneficial to plants.The Different Types of UV LightBoth UVB and UVA are essential parts of life on earth, but UVC is not.

It rarely reaches the earth in significant enough amounts to do lasting damage.How Does UV Light Affect Plants?UV light has the ability to destroy harmful microorganisms, particularly when the wavelengths are shorter than 300 nm.Not only that, but UV light can increase your plants’ resistance to bacteria, insects, and fungus.Grow plants indoors without any UV exposure, and you’ll lack all of these benefits.Faster GerminationUV light can also promote faster germination when starting seeds.

They strengthen the plant and prepare it for higher light intensities.It reduces the “shock” time of the seedlings while also speeding up germination.When Should You Give Plants UV Light?There has been some talk about when using UV light is actually effective.

But, if you don’t invest in the veg, how is your plant going to be capable of producing a frutiful harvest?That’s why we recommend using UV lighting full cycle if you can — from seed to harvest.

So, rather than adding in high doses of UV light at key points, we recommend using low doses of UV light over the entire life.

LED grow lights can be used as the sole means of lighting in a growing operation, as a supplement to natural light, or paired with other types of grow lights.Unlike other types of grow lights, light emitted by LEDs can be focused, so that none is dispersed or lost between the bulb and the canopy of the plants.

LEDs have long service lives, with bulbs lasting from 50,000 to 100,000 hours of continuous use.When LED lights for growing first hit the market several years ago, horticulturists everywhere were intrigued, but not convinced, that it could be the answer to their plants’ dreams.

Back when they first debuted, they were expensive, and not nearly powerful enough to get the growth gardeners wanted from their plants.

The thing is, LED grow lights have come so far that they are far and away the better choice, but only in certain circumstances.

LED grow lights are energy-efficient lights used by indoor and greenhouse farmers and Cannabis growers too. Many growers take advantage of LED lights to help scale plant production due to their full light spectrum capabilities, low heat waste and maintenance, and extended lifespan. And given a plant’s physiology and morphology are strongly affected by specific spectrums, LED grow lights can efficiently promote growth in crops (2) at specific times in the growth cycle. Nanometers are a universal unit of measurement but also used to measure spectrum of light – humans can only detect visible light spectrum wavelengths (380-740nm). Plants, on the other hand, detect wavelengths including our visible light and beyond, to include UV and Far Red spectrums. It’s important to note light spectrums affect plant growth differently depending on things like environmental conditions, crop species, etc.

LED grow lights can be used as the sole means of lighting in a growing operation, as a supplement to natural light, or paired with other types of grow lights.Unlike other types of grow lights, light emitted by LEDs can be focused, so that none is dispersed or lost between the bulb and the canopy of the plants.

You have the diode that emits light like a bulb, a driver that transfers energy to your diodes like a ballast, and the housing of your LED which acts more or less like a reflector.With that in mind, let’s break down the major components of a grow light: diodes, power supply, and housing.DiodesA diode is what’s used to translate electricity to visible light in an LED.

Therefore, the type of lens a diode has will help determine how the light is focused down onto your plants.Contrary to popular belief, the beam angle (or the width of the beam of light coming out) doesn’t depend solely on the type of lens used.

There are two types of arrangements: panels and diode clusters.An LED panel consists of diodes (usually with 180° beams) wired together and mounted directly to a panel, all illuminating when activated.

Supplemental lights are a single panel of low-wattage chips mounted to a surface, whereas standalone lights consist of multiple panels outfitted with a number of 3w chips each.

Some burns can be simple discoloration and damage, while sustained burning can lead to combustion if not mediated.Fortunately, bleaching and burning are remedied simply by hanging your plants at the right height, which is anywhere between 18in and 30in above plants.Power SupplyThe power supply, or driver, of all LED grow lights is essentially the brains.

A reflector, or hood, helps focus the light energy where you need it, it’s also commonly used with an HID bulb.How HPS Light WorksHPS light works by using ballast, which creates a pulse that stirs the gas in the bulbs or lamps.

Finally, the sodium gas vapors turn the arc into a yellow color spectrum.These are all the colours that provide lighting effects that influence the growth of the crops.

Majority of the HPS bulbs are ideal for the FLOWERING phases of the crops because of their orange and red lights.Though you can use the lights for other stages, it is better to supplement HPS grow lights with other lights during the other growing stages for even better yields.Advantages Of HPS Grow LightsProsEnergy efficiencyWhen it comes to energy efficiency, HPS light beat all the other kinds of lights in the market.

This allows you to provide the exact wavelengths needed for these stages- and when used in conjunction with both a ballast and reflector, you can control the intensity through dimmer switches.

If you are dependent upon the production of your plants for harvest reasons, these are bulbs worth considering to maximize your overall crop yield.CONCERNS ABOUT HPS GROW LIGHTSThe intensity of an HPS bulb requires you to pay close attention to your light placement in conjunction with your plants.

The unique design of the reflector hood and the high uniformity of light the reflector projects results in less hotspots on the canopy and a more even plant growth.These lights are especially advantageous for facilities with limited head height.

the germination/vegetative phase or the flowering/fruiting phase), and the photoperiod required by the plants, specific ranges of spectrum, luminous efficacy and color temperature are desirable for use with specific plants and time periods.Grow lights are used for horticulture, indoor gardening, plant propagation and food production, including indoor hydroponics and aquatic plants.

Although most grow lights are used on an industrial level, they can also be used in households.According to the inverse-square law, the intensity of light radiating from a point source (in this case a bulb) that reaches a surface is inversely proportional to the square of the surface’s distance from the source (if an object is twice as far away, it receives only a quarter the light) which is a serious hurdle for indoor growers, and many techniques are employed to use light as efficiently as possible.

With the introduction of ceramic metal halide lighting and full-spectrum metal halide lighting, they are increasingly being utilized as an exclusive source of light for both vegetative and reproductive growth stages.

The yellowish light is the signature color produced by an HPS.High-pressure sodium lights are a more efficient type of HID lighting than metal halides.

[10] They are used as a supplement to natural daylight in greenhouse lighting and full-spectrum lighting(metal halide) or, as a standalone source of light for indoors/grow chambers.High-pressure sodium lights have a long usable bulb life, and six times more light output per watt of energy consumed than a standard incandescent grow light.

Growers use these fixtures for propagating and vegetatively growing plants under the metal halide, then switching to a high-pressure sodium bulb for the fruiting or flowering stage of plant growth.

What are LEDs and how do they work?LEDs (Light Emitting Diode) are small electronic components made of two different types of semiconductor material, one having a negative charge, called electrons, and the other having a positive charge, called holes.

The first LEDs had relatively low light output and limited selections of colors while modern LEDs have high brightness and come in varieties of colors in visible, infrared and ultraviolet spectral ranges.LEDs do not burn a filament, but instead pass light through semiconductors to create their spectrum.LED lights have been around for more than 50 years for general use, however they have risen in popularity as grow lights within the field of horticulture and cannabis cultivation, especially for indoor farming and growrooms.Maximum Yield Explains Light Emitting Diode (LED)In relation to horticulture, LEDs are very popular because they offer many benefits over traditional grow lights.

This is very important for greenhouses or other indoor growing spaces where constant light is needed.LEDs uses approximately 60 to 90 per cent less energy than other grow light options like high-intensity discharge (HID) lights, which include high-pressure sodium and metal halides.

Some growers who have switched to LEDs report that their plants typically produce a greater yield than plants grown using high intensity discharge (HID) grow lights.What are LED grow lights?As suggested by their name, LED grow lights are luminaires utilizing LED chips in a modern and efficient way to produce light for growing plants.

Adding other colors to the spectrum, such as green, far-red and deep-blue aids this process by giving plants more information about its environment and overall resulting in higher quality plants (quicker growth, more secondary metabolite accumulation etc).

By adjusting your grow light spectrum wirelessly, it’s possible to speed up flowering times, improve your plant’s biochemistry, or customize your plants’ structure to root better and be more easily managed.Previous LED lighting systems only had the red and green light spectrums.

What is rosin?Rosin is the process of extracting the oils that give a cannabis plant its unique taste and smell by using heat and pressure.The whole process is fairly simple and does not require the use of any foreign substances, unlike other methods that use butane and/or propane.As you can imagine, since Rosin does not require the use of any other solvents or substances to produce, the final product is very potent, pure and tastes & smells exactly like the strain that it was extracted from.There’s a visry good reason why rosin is gaining rapid popularity and why it’s poised to take over the extracts market.It has been just under two years since rosin was introduced to the cannabis concentrate market.

The technique in rosin production rests within the ability to balance these three components together to create a superior product in flavor and effect.1.TemperatureTemperature is key to making good rosin!

A good rule of thumb to remember is:Lower temperatures (190°F- 220°F) = more flavor/terpenes, less yield, end material is more stable (butter-like/honey consistencyHigher temperatures (220°F- 250°F) = less flavor/terpenes, more yield, end material is less stable (sap-like consistency)Bearing these in mind, if your press is more than capable of delivering the right pressure, we don’t recommend you going higher than 250°F.When extracting rosin, heat must be controlled in order to preserve terpenes and cannabinoids.

Limiting the time exposed to high heat can retain some terpenes; however, reducing heat is the only way to ensure the least degradation possible.2.PressureWhile it’s tempting to go out to build or buy a rosin press with the highest capacity, science has shown that higher pressure does not necessarily equate to higher yields.Sometimes the higher pressure can, in fact, produce less desirable results because the increase in pressure actually forces less desirable materials such as lipids and other fine particles into your rosin.Our friends at Pure Pressure broke the science down to a tee on this on their blog if you want to read more about it.3.TimeThe time it takes to produce rosin varies depending on the material, a strain that you’re using and if there’s enough pressureUse the timetable below as a starting point to determine how long you should be pressing based on your starting material.Material Temperature TimeFlower 190°F-220°F 15–60 secondsGood Quality Sift/Bubble 150°F-190°F 20–60 secondsAverage to Low-Quality Sift/Bubble 180°F-220°F 20–60 secondsRosin PressRosin has become one of the most popular concentrates.

These machines use heat, pressure, and filter bags with microscopic holes to extract rosin in high concentration from your cannabis hash without the use of any solvent.

Rosin presses also have different types according to how pressure is applied.Here are a few guiding questions to ask yourself to help you determine which rosin press you should buy:Will you be using this for personal or commercial purposes?How much demand will you need out of this press?How important is space for you?Do you want something that is portable?Would you mind buying extra accessories for the press?

LED grow lights have been around for a few years now.While perhaps a decade ago they didn’t quite live up to their full potential, now they are by far the best way to grow plants indoors.A 600w LED grow light usually produces sufficient light to cultivate 10 to 14 plants.600W LED grow lights are an energy-saving choice.

You can use a fixture that lets you turn off the LEDs or dial them back in intensity for even more significant energy savings.Let’s first talk briefly about LED grow lights, their advantages and what points you should consider to buy one.

If you run old-style grow lights that are constantly wasted energy as heat, you are using electricity for nothing.

LED grow lights can be significantly more expensive than old-style regular grow lights.However, since they cost a lot less to run, you will end up making the money back in the long run — especially if you are buying them for fairly intensive use.Are LED Grow Lights Worth It?In a word, yes.

Thus, buying the one that offers the most reliability makes more sense as you will not be able to repair or replace damaged LED lights on a panel with ease.Buying Guide For LED Grow LightAs the name suggests, LED grow lights utilizes modern LED chips in a fashion that introduces suitable growing light for plants.

As different types of plants have varying photon requirements, you need to select the correct intensity of light over the plants.

They are designed to remove strong odors and harmful gases from the grow room.How Do Carbon Filters Work?How Carbon Filter WorksCarbon filters are widely used in reducing odor and control the emission coming from growing applications.They are particularly useful for eliminating air contaminants such as allergen, pathogens, and other unpleasant odors that come out of a grow room/tent.Ambient air is passed through the carbon filter, and the carbon content captures the vapors in the air — which are responsible for the pungent smell — and take them out of circulation.While the air is in the filter, the carbon reacts to any contaminant and traps them into the screens out the impurities so that the air that goes out is clean and free of foul smells.This effectively lowers odor-causing chemicals, which in turn reduces the odor in the grow room.As long as your carbon filter is of a good grade and fitted into a strong ventilation system that can force air into the filter, you should be able to prevent any odorous smell from escaping into the air.You should expect to change them a few times depending on how much you are growing and how often you do that.Benefits of Carbon FiltersHere are some of the benefits of carbon filters:Carbon filters help you eliminate odor you’d otherwise find difficult to eliminate without the help of one.Not only are they safe and reliable, but they are also very efficient and effective in controlling the odor in your grow room.

Carbon filters have minimal maintenance that once installed; they can last until you need to change them.They are better than other forms of odor control because they’re not going to present a risk of damage to what you are growing.What to consider when choosing the best carbon filter for grow roomThe market has tons of carbon filter options available in the market and it is therefore important that you choose the right one for effective results.

A pre-filter also increases the life span of a carbon filter.Compactness And PortabilityNoise is irritating and if you want a carbon filter with no or very little noise, buy one with compact carbon filters.

You can forget about grow room odors especially for marijuana farmers because the crop can definitely emit an odor.

Let’s look at a good grow tent and four superior carbon filter.

A good rule of thumb to remember is:Lower temperatures (190°F- 220°F) = more flavor/terpenes, less yield, end material is more stable (butter-like/honey consistencyHigher temperatures (220°F- 250°F) = less flavor/terpenes, more yield, end material is less stable (sap-like consistency)Bearing these in mind, if your press is more than capable of delivering the right pressure, we don’t recommend you going higher than 250°F.When extracting rosin, heat must be controlled in order to preserve terpenes and cannabinoids.

Limiting the time exposed to high heat can retain some terpenes; however, reducing heat is the only way to ensure the least degradation possible.2.PressureWhile it’s tempting to go out to build or buy a rosin press with the highest capacity, science has shown that higher pressure does not necessarily equate to higher yields.Sometimes the higher pressure can, in fact, produce less desirable results because the increase in pressure actually forces less desirable materials such as lipids and other fine particles into your rosin.Our friends at Pure Pressure broke the science down to a tee on this on their blog if you want to read more about it.3.TimeThe time it takes to produce rosin varies depending on the material, a strain that you’re using and if there’s enough pressureUse the timetable below as a starting point to determine how long you should be pressing based on your starting material.Material Temperature TimeFlower 190°F-220°F 15–60 secondsGood Quality Sift/Bubble 150°F-190°F 20–60 secondsAverage to Low-Quality Sift/Bubble 180°F-220°F 20–60 secondsRosin PressRosin has become one of the most popular concentrates.

These machines use heat, pressure, and filter bags with microscopic holes to extract rosin in high concentration from your cannabis hash without the use of any solvent.

Rosin presses also have different types according to how pressure is applied.Here are a few guiding questions to ask yourself to help you determine which rosin press you should buy:Will you be using this for personal or commercial purposes?How much demand will you need out of this press?How important is space for you?Do you want something that is portable?Would you mind buying extra accessories for the press?

LED grow lights can be used as the sole means of lighting in a growing operation, as a supplement to natural light, or paired with other types of grow lights.Unlike other types of grow lights, light emitted by LEDs can be focused, so that none is dispersed or lost between the bulb and the canopy of the plants.

You have the diode that emits light like a bulb, a driver that transfers energy to your diodes like a ballast, and the housing of your LED which acts more or less like a reflector.With that in mind, let’s break down the major components of a grow light: diodes, power supply, and housing.DiodesA diode is what’s used to translate electricity to visible light in an LED.

Therefore, the type of lens a diode has will help determine how the light is focused down onto your plants.Contrary to popular belief, the beam angle (or the width of the beam of light coming out) doesn’t depend solely on the type of lens used.

There are two types of arrangements: panels and diode clusters.An LED panel consists of diodes (usually with 180° beams) wired together and mounted directly to a panel, all illuminating when activated.

Supplemental lights are a single panel of low-wattage chips mounted to a surface, whereas standalone lights consist of multiple panels outfitted with a number of 3w chips each.

Some burns can be simple discoloration and damage, while sustained burning can lead to combustion if not mediated.Fortunately, bleaching and burning are remedied simply by hanging your plants at the right height, which is anywhere between 18in and 30in above plants.Power SupplyThe power supply, or driver, of all LED grow lights is essentially the brains.

LED grow lights have been around for a few years now.While perhaps a decade ago they didn’t quite live up to their full potential, now they are by far the best way to grow plants indoors.A 600w LED grow light usually produces sufficient light to cultivate 10 to 14 plants.600W LED grow lights are an energy-saving choice.

You can use a fixture that lets you turn off the LEDs or dial them back in intensity for even more significant energy savings.Let’s first talk briefly about LED grow lights, their advantages and what points you should consider to buy one.

If you run old-style grow lights that are constantly wasted energy as heat, you are using electricity for nothing.

LED grow lights can be significantly more expensive than old-style regular grow lights.However, since they cost a lot less to run, you will end up making the money back in the long run — especially if you are buying them for fairly intensive use.Are LED Grow Lights Worth It?In a word, yes.

Thus, buying the one that offers the most reliability makes more sense as you will not be able to repair or replace damaged LED lights on a panel with ease.Buying Guide For LED Grow LightAs the name suggests, LED grow lights utilizes modern LED chips in a fashion that introduces suitable growing light for plants.

As different types of plants have varying photon requirements, you need to select the correct intensity of light over the plants.

A reflector, or hood, helps focus the light energy where you need it, it’s also commonly used with an HID bulb.How HPS Light WorksHPS light works by using ballast, which creates a pulse that stirs the gas in the bulbs or lamps.

Finally, the sodium gas vapors turn the arc into a yellow color spectrum.These are all the colours that provide lighting effects that influence the growth of the crops.

Majority of the HPS bulbs are ideal for the FLOWERING phases of the crops because of their orange and red lights.Though you can use the lights for other stages, it is better to supplement HPS grow lights with other lights during the other growing stages for even better yields.Advantages Of HPS Grow LightsProsEnergy efficiencyWhen it comes to energy efficiency, HPS light beat all the other kinds of lights in the market.

This allows you to provide the exact wavelengths needed for these stages- and when used in conjunction with both a ballast and reflector, you can control the intensity through dimmer switches.

If you are dependent upon the production of your plants for harvest reasons, these are bulbs worth considering to maximize your overall crop yield.CONCERNS ABOUT HPS GROW LIGHTSThe intensity of an HPS bulb requires you to pay close attention to your light placement in conjunction with your plants.

The unique design of the reflector hood and the high uniformity of light the reflector projects results in less hotspots on the canopy and a more even plant growth.These lights are especially advantageous for facilities with limited head height.

They are designed to remove strong odors and harmful gases from the grow room.How Do Carbon Filters Work?How Carbon Filter WorksCarbon filters are widely used in reducing odor and control the emission coming from growing applications.They are particularly useful for eliminating air contaminants such as allergen, pathogens, and other unpleasant odors that come out of a grow room/tent.Ambient air is passed through the carbon filter, and the carbon content captures the vapors in the air — which are responsible for the pungent smell — and take them out of circulation.While the air is in the filter, the carbon reacts to any contaminant and traps them into the screens out the impurities so that the air that goes out is clean and free of foul smells.This effectively lowers odor-causing chemicals, which in turn reduces the odor in the grow room.As long as your carbon filter is of a good grade and fitted into a strong ventilation system that can force air into the filter, you should be able to prevent any odorous smell from escaping into the air.You should expect to change them a few times depending on how much you are growing and how often you do that.Benefits of Carbon FiltersHere are some of the benefits of carbon filters:Carbon filters help you eliminate odor you’d otherwise find difficult to eliminate without the help of one.Not only are they safe and reliable, but they are also very efficient and effective in controlling the odor in your grow room.

Carbon filters have minimal maintenance that once installed; they can last until you need to change them.They are better than other forms of odor control because they’re not going to present a risk of damage to what you are growing.What to consider when choosing the best carbon filter for grow roomThe market has tons of carbon filter options available in the market and it is therefore important that you choose the right one for effective results.

A pre-filter also increases the life span of a carbon filter.Compactness And PortabilityNoise is irritating and if you want a carbon filter with no or very little noise, buy one with compact carbon filters.

You can forget about grow room odors especially for marijuana farmers because the crop can definitely emit an odor.

Let’s look at a good grow tent and four superior carbon filter.

the germination/vegetative phase or the flowering/fruiting phase), and the photoperiod required by the plants, specific ranges of spectrum, luminous efficacy and color temperature are desirable for use with specific plants and time periods.Grow lights are used for horticulture, indoor gardening, plant propagation and food production, including indoor hydroponics and aquatic plants.

Although most grow lights are used on an industrial level, they can also be used in households.According to the inverse-square law, the intensity of light radiating from a point source (in this case a bulb) that reaches a surface is inversely proportional to the square of the surface’s distance from the source (if an object is twice as far away, it receives only a quarter the light) which is a serious hurdle for indoor growers, and many techniques are employed to use light as efficiently as possible.

With the introduction of ceramic metal halide lighting and full-spectrum metal halide lighting, they are increasingly being utilized as an exclusive source of light for both vegetative and reproductive growth stages.

The yellowish light is the signature color produced by an HPS.High-pressure sodium lights are a more efficient type of HID lighting than metal halides.

[10] They are used as a supplement to natural daylight in greenhouse lighting and full-spectrum lighting(metal halide) or, as a standalone source of light for indoors/grow chambers.High-pressure sodium lights have a long usable bulb life, and six times more light output per watt of energy consumed than a standard incandescent grow light.

Growers use these fixtures for propagating and vegetatively growing plants under the metal halide, then switching to a high-pressure sodium bulb for the fruiting or flowering stage of plant growth.

Unlike other types of grow lights, light emitted by LEDs can be focused, so that none is dispersed or lost between the bulb and the canopy of the plants. Back when they first debuted, they were expensive, and not nearly powerful enough to get the growth gardeners wanted from their plants. The thing is, LED grow lights have come so far that they are far and away the better choice, but only in certain circumstances. In this case, the fluorescent grow light may be a better choice. Others have higher concentrations of red or blue diodes, producing light for vegetative or flowering plants.
