Lamps for Flowering

To enjoy lush flowers adorning your plants, you need a light source with a dominant proportion of red and yellow light during the flowering period. High-pressure sodium lamps (HPS) emit this red-yellow light sufficiently. You can purchase them purely for the flowering phase or in the popular combined variant suitable for both flowering and growth. You can also opt for more modern CMH lamps, suitable for the entire growth cycle. You can determine the colour of the emitted light by its colour temperature (given in Kelvin). Red and yellow light is described as a lower temperature, approximately up to 2500K. When choosing, you can also be guided by the PAR (Photosynthetically Active Radiation) values, which express the amount of emitted light that plants can actually use for photosynthesis. In this regard, high-performance double-ended (DE) lamps are exceptional. Double-ended lamps are great for ambitious professionals and large spaces. In grow tents, the light intensity and heat they emit can be too much and may even harm the plants. Most home growers tend to use classic screw-in lamps. In this category, you will find many HPS lamps providing a light spectrum suitable for the flowering phase. All are from renowned manufacturers, including LUMii, Lumatek, Prima Klima, Gavita, Spectromaster, Secret Jardin, and many others. The best-selling lamp supporting plant flowering is from Sunkraft and offers a power output of 600 W.
