A written version of our HID grow light guide can be found on the Grow Light Central website: https://growlightcentral.com/pages/be...

The video is now out of date. The written HID buyer's guide is updated continuously and contains MH and HPS grow light recommendations that are not in the video. It also contains live links to the products shown, so you can get more info.

The guide is focused on cannabis growers, but is equally applicable to any other type of plant. It goes through the following steps:

1. First it helps you decide whether to use metal halide (MH) bulbs or high pressure sodium (HPS) bulbs or both.

2. Then is helps you choose the best wattage for your grow room.

3. Then it covers choosing between a single ended reflector and bulb system or a double ended bulb and reflector.

4. Finally, it runs through the advantages and disadvantages of the most common reflector styles and also lets you know what type of grow space each reflector is best for. The styles covered are: wing reflector (single and double ended), umbrella reflector, air cool tube, air cool hood reflector (single and double ended), cool tube hood reflector and an XXL hood reflector (double ended only).
