Knowing what type of Grow Light Bulbs you're in need of is very important, as they each have their own job to play in your indoor garden, and some bulbs will only work in certain lighting systems. Understanding how much light is required is also very important, as getting the light intensity correct will help you push your yields up.
HPS (High Pressure Sodium) Grow Light Bulbs are a standard bulb that provides your hydroponics system with light for the flowering and fruiting stage. One thing to consider with a HPS bulb is that they run hot and emit infrared light meaning they can increase the temperature in your indoor garden.
CDM/CMH are Ceramic Metal Halide Grow Light Bulbs, they are the modern equivalent of Metal Halide bulbs. They emit a full spectrum of light and produce high quality crops. They come with a bayonet fitting, so make sure that you get a ballast that is compatible with the bulb.
MH (Metal Halide) Bulbs produce a blueish white light which makes them great for the growing stage of your plants, when they need more blue light. They also have a tendency to run very hot so can alter the temperature of your grow room.
