However, although there are companies that sell led grow lights that work well for plants, there are still a lot that sell second rate quality. The hard part for most growers is that it is actually very difficult to tell which lights actually work, which company is a fraud and which company can guarantee you exceptional lighting service and performance of their led grow lights. With that, here are some guidelines on how to find high quality led lights:

1. Check the company’s reputation – before buying your led grow lights, try to check if the company you are buying from has a good reputation. One way that you can check is to see if that light company is a member of the Better Business Bureau or BBB. If they have a BBB logo on their site, make sure that this logo has a link that can be clicked on and would redirect you to a page on the BBB website that will show their rating and their complaints report. Ideally, the company should have an A rating but a B+ is fair enough. The company should also have less than three unresolved complaints within the last 12 months. If the company that you are planning to buy from passes this first criteria, it is most likely that you’ll be buying from a reputable manufacturer or seller.

2. Check on the product quality and performance- it is wrong to think that the price of the light is an indicator that it has a high quality. Although, this is sometimes true, it is not always applicable because an inferior led light can also be sold at a very high price. One way to know if the led grow light that you’re going to buy has quality is to ask the sales staff to explain the heat sink of their lights and how it is made. The heat sink of a quality led grow light should be made of solid aluminum with a porous texture, not a flat sheet of aluminum. The porous texture will dramatically increase the light’s life span and its ability to perform at peak levels without burning out or diminishing in just a few months. The heat sink of the light is very important so the sales staff should not have any difficulty describing this part and why it works well. If you find that the sales staff is struggling to answer this question, you should go and look for another seller instead. Reading blogs and reviews will also be very helpful.

3. Check for any warranty–focus your effort on finding a company with years of good business experience and one that sells quality led grow lights with at least a two-year warranty. Also, look for a product guarantee of at least 30 days with no restocking fees and no restrictions on the reason for returning. Be wary of some companies offering misleading guarantees that say “30 Day Risk Free Trial”, but if you read their terms and conditions you will see that you have to pay for the return shipping and restocking fees.

Hydroponics is easy to set up when you’re a hobbyist, but if you are interested in getting the biggest yields possible, you owe it to yourself to check out one of the loveliest gardens on the web.

Ebb and flow (fill and drain) hydroponic system startup. Also known as flood and drain system. See blog for details of hardware and requirements. hydroponics is gardening witjhout soil. The ebb and flow system or fill and drain system allows for a timed saturation of nutrient solution and the drain phase provides a highly oxygenated period for explosive root development. Ebb and flow systems produce rapid growth as a hydroponic system

It’s rare for a hydroponic nutrient to cause a real stir in the grower community. But Advanced Nutrients’ pH Perfect^®line has tongues wagging internationally. The nutrient breakthrough that eliminates the need for pH up or pH down, was named Best Product at the GROWMED: Fair for Medical Cannabis in Valencia, Spain this weekend. The award is certain to help convince even more growers,  to throw away their pH meters and pens, because the pH Perfect line of base nutrients locks down the pH into the sweet spot (pH 5.5–6.3), allowing medical marijuana crops to absorb the most nutrients, leading to bigger yields.
