Not every indoor cannabis gardener has the luxury of a large grow space to grow their plants in. Many people are forced to grow their cannabis plants in a small grow space since they live in a small apartment or even a studio. Luckily, there are a handful of companies that make quality LED grow lights for small spaces. In this article, I will talk about the Top 4 LED Grow Lights in 2019. This list will include LED grow lights that have a flowering coverage area of 2’x2’ and are best for a full-cycle grow (from seedling through flowering). The grow lights are listed in no specific order. The things I look for in a LED grow light to make this list are: PAR output, efficiency, spectrum, light spread, quality diodes, efficient drivers, and warranty. Since prices are always changing, click either the Amazon link or LED Grow Lights Depot link under each light for the most up-to-date price.
Need a better understanding of PAR output, spectrum, efficacy, energy consumption, or light spread? Check out this complete Buyer’s Guide for LED Grow Lights in 2019.
