What is the best LED spectrum for marijuana growing?

In the realm of indoor gardening, the spectrum of light that plants receive plays a pivotal role in their growth and development. When it comes to cultivating marijuana indoors, choosing the right LED (Light Emitting Diode) spectrum is crucial for maximizing yields and quality. Let’s delve into the factors that define the best LED spectrum for marijuana growing.

The Impact of Spectrum on Yield and Quality

The right LED spectrum can significantly influence the yield, potency, and overall quality of marijuana. Research and practical experience indicate that:

  • Yield: Optimizing the light spectrum can lead to higher yields per square meter due to improved photosynthetic efficiency and better flower development.

  • Quality: The cannabinoid and terpene profile of marijuana plants can be enhanced by adjusting the light spectrum, potentially improving the flavor, aroma, and therapeutic effects.

it does :slight_smile: but your overall environment plays the biggest role growing indoors with

whatever light source you chose to use and more so with LEDs

I used 3500 k start to finish on grow of autos and they came out as good as any bud I have grown

under HIDs

5 or 6000 K for veg and 2800 k flower might have worked better

all the best
