Covers

Vendor-neutral, criteria-based comparisons of every equipment category a grower buys: lighting, climate (dehumidifiers, AC, fans, filters, humidifiers, CO2, controllers, sensors), spaces (tents, cabinets, greenhouses, benches, racking, trellis, reflective materials), water and feeding (pH/EC meters, continuous monitors, RO, chillers, pumps, dosing, drippers, hydro systems, substrate sensors, auto-watering), media and containers, post-harvest (trimmers, drying racks and cabinets, curing containers, humidity packs, rosin presses, bubble bags, freeze dryers, scales, vacuum sealers) and tools (loupes, sprayers, shears, traps, loggers, cameras, electrical protection). Each comparison states criteria, dated manufacturer specs, running costs and who should choose what.

Lighting equipment

ComparisonBeginner11 minLED vs HPS vs CMH: choosing a grow light technologyTop-bin LED fixtures now convert 2.5–3.0 µmol of light per joule; double-ended HPS manages 1.7–2.1. Here is what that gap costs and buys you.
