Why make an indoor garden?
LED, HID and fluorescent - which is best?
For commercial growers whose harvests are their livelihood, we recommend purchasing Electric Sky LED's. Coming in two different sizes, the ES180 and the ES300, these lights are truly some of the best in the world.
They're commonly referred to as the Holy Grail of grow lights and it's easy to see why. Their results are just as good as the sun's, if not better.
Electric Sky 180 is perfect for both flowering and vegetative plants. It's coverage areas are 1.5' X 3' for flowering and 2' X 4' for vegetative plants.
Electric Sky 300 is the larger version of the ES180. It's coverage areas are 2' X 4' for flowering and 3' X 5' for vegetative plants.
We only tend to recommend Electric Sky lights to commercial growers purely due to the price. However, if you're a hobbyist or just starting out you can still get great results with other lights which won't break the bank.
For home growers, we recommend either Viparspectra LED grow lights, Mars Hydro LED grow lights or LP COB LED grow lights. All three companies have been in the LED grow light industry for over a decade and their lights offer great results in both the flowering and vegetative growth stages.
Each brand has a range of models to choose from depending on your growing area. Smaller gardens only require lights with around 300 watts. If your growing area is a little larger, you might need a larger wattage light around 750W or 1000W. If you're unsure what coverage you'll need, you can find each light's core and max coverage within the product descriptions for all of our listings.
Note: core coverage means flowering while max coverage means vegetative growth. LED's will generally cover larger vegetative spaces. If you're growing flowering plants like tomatoes, you should use the core coverage as your guide.
Viparspectra are one of our favourite brands thanks to their affordability and high performance. I've personally achieved great results in both the growth and flower cycles from these lights.
At The Hippie House, we're proud to be authorized distributors of Viparspectra lights right here in Australia. This means we offer full warranties and can answer any questions or concerns regarding their products. We also carry all the spare parts in case anything ever goes wrong and even have our own specialised Viparspectra technicians in-house.
Mars Hydro are veterans of the grow light industry and create some great LED grow lights. They have a wide range of LED's for many different applications.
As well as grow lights, Mars Hydro produce high quality grow tents which provide complete control of your growing environment. If you're looking to up your game, we sell Mars Hydro grow kits which you can check out by clicking here.
Although a slightly lesser known brand, Lushpro manufacture reliable grow lights that produce fantastic results. We have a strong working relationship with the manufacturer who also produce various hydroponic equipment including pots, systems, pumps, harvesting equipment and much more.
We've personally tested both the 200 watt COB and the 900 watt light and were extremely pleased with the results.
