Horticulture experts, gardening hobbyists or anyone trying their hand at some indoor gardening knows that LED lighting is changing the way plants can be grown. Below are some of the best advantages of using LED lights over a traditional lighting system.

No need for added ventilation and temperature control systems:
Save yourself the hassle when using LED lighting. LED's are much cooler than conventional HID lights and you will not need to use a separate ventilation system. This eliminates another complicated aspect to monitor, and you don't need to worry about any overheating inhibiting the growth of your plants. Controlled temperatures are very important for hydroponics, as the low temperature will make sure water molecules remain in the contained area without evaporating. Stable humidity levels means less water changes and less nutrients addition to water.

LED lights can mimic seasons:
By changing the light cycle from 18 hours a day to 12 hours a day, your LED lights can essentially mimic seasons. Leaving your LED lights off for 12 hours of uninterrupted darkness and 12 hours of light will induce visible signs of flowering in two weeks or less. Additionally, when you add more light to the plants it will extend the flowering period and give you a bigger and better yield.

Light intensity and photosynthesis:
The 3 blue and 9 red LED lights are ultra bright and powerful. Their powerful output provides more photons which induces enhanced photosynthesis. What this means for indor plant growers is that you can expect a boost in growth for your plants. Just make sure that you are placing the LED lights at the proper distance from your plants. The plants will reach for the light source and grow taller over time and you will need to readjust the lighting every few weeks or months.
