What is a Full Spectrum Grow Light?

Indoor growers rely upon grow lights that mimic the UV rays of the sun in the form of LED full spectrum grow lights. As an indoor gardener, utilizing the entire Visible Light Spectrum (often referred to in marketing as Full Spectrum for grow lights) provides an artificial light source to promote plant growth during all stages of development.

Serious growers and experts have done studies that show you can produce a bigger/ healthier harvest with full-spectrum grow lights, along with a high yield. Full Spectrum grow lights can improve flowering/blooming, cloning, vegging, and seeding stages.

The added bonus of using an LED grow light is that you also save energy when lighting your hydroponic garden or large grow application, due to the lower wattage consumed when compared to traditional bulbs.
