Question by Kaylee: What is the best light for hydroponics?
I am wondering what the best type of lighting system to get would be on my grow box. I have seen grow boxes with metal halide lights, high pressure sodium light, LED lights, and fluorescent lights. What is the best light for hydroponics and yields?
