In Conclusion
At this point, you’re pretty spoiled for choice when it comes to choosing a grow light option. Always be sure to double check your calculations in terms of how many plants you want to grow, size and space lighting coverage, and your predicted yield.
It’s really imperative that you have all of this ironed out. That way you don’t end up with way too much lighting for just one plant, or conversely too many plants under one light.
Other than that, we wish you the best of luck on your growing journey ahead!
