Microgreens are gaining popularity for their nutritional benefits and ease of growing. Often affectionately called “baby plants” (think bean sprouts), microgreens are edible seedlings of vegetables and herbs. Due to their nutritional benefits, Microgreens have become increasingly popular in recent years, as more and more people are looking to add fresh organic produce to their diets. And because of their ease of growing, Microgreens can be ready to eat in just 1-3 weeks. With the right tools, you can easily grow microgreens indoors and have an endless supply at home, year-round. However, having the right lighting is a key step in achieving optimal growing conditions.

Thanks to their great seed-starting abilities and high efficiency, LED grow lights are an excellent lighting choice for growing microgreens, and also offer an energy-efficient alternative to traditional fluorescent lights. This is because LED grow lights use 50% less electrical wattage than fluorescent lighting. Because of this, LED grow lights are a superior option to fluorescent lighting. It is important to note that all LED lights are not made equal and many LED lights have been found to give inferior results because of their poor quality. Technology is always improving at a rapid rate and LED grow lights are no different. 

Using the right combination of LEDs for microgreen grow lights will help improve the quality of the crops all year round. The LED grow light from SmrtLED+ has been shown to be the most effective, using up to 90% less energy than typical fluorescent lighting, and offers the best price point in LED lights for growing microgreens.
