High Pressure Sodium (HPS):
This is the lighting choice of many a Cannabis Cultivator.
These lights come in all shapes and sizes and have a range of 75watts -
4000watts. These lights are in the perfect spectrum for growing
cannabis and come highly recommended.
Figure 5.11 - This is an example of a HPS and also a MH Light
system. There is nothing at face value to Indicate that the light is a
HPS or a MH. To check this out we need to look at the ballast and the
bulb and read what is says about the type of light system that it is. MH
lights tend to give off a blue tone, while HPS tend to give off an
orange tone.
