CMH lights are more efficient and durable than traditional HPS (high-pressure sodium) grow lights, which are often used for flowering cannabis. CMH can be used for both vegetative and flowering stages of cannabis, as they provide a balanced ratio of red and blue wavelengths that mimic natural sunlight. However, CMH also has some drawbacks, such as higher initial cost, higher heat output, and lower light intensity than HPS grow lights. Therefore, it is important to consider the size of your grow tent, the ventilation of your grow room, and the distance between your plants and the light source when choosing a CMH grow light.
