Metal halide bulbs produce an abundance of light in the blue spectrum. This color of light promotes plant growth and is excellent for green leafy growth and keeping plants compact. It is the best type of light to be used as a primary light source (if no or little natural sunlight is available).
High pressure sodium bulbs emit an orange-red glow. This band of light triggers hormones in plants to increase flowering/budding in plants. They are the best grow lights available for secondary or supplemental lighting (used in conjunction with natural sunlight). This is ideal for greenhouse growing applications.
Propagation Lights are ideal for young plants as they have a good spread of light which gives equal lumins to a 400w Metal Halide Lamp which allows you to get the lamp much closer to the plants.
With so many choices you must make sure you have the correct grow light for your indoor garden.
