Why grow with LED?

Raise the quality of your cannabis crop

By using a dedicated light recipe for cannabis, plant characteristics can be steered. You can steer certain specific compounds, meeting your customers' requirements, and differentiate yourself in the market.

Raise the quality of your cannabis crop

Predictable production is key

By using LED light, the climate in the greenhouse or sole source facility can be controlled more easily. LED light comes with hardly any heat; thus the climate can be steered more easily. This results in consistent quality with the right composition of compounds, the same quantity year round to simplify logistical planning and guarantee reliable manufacturing. You will harvest right when you need it free of contamination and without the use of pesticides.

Predictable production is key

High sustainable production

Growing your cannabis with the use of LED will generate higher yield per square metre compared to growing with other light sources. The right light optimises photosynthesis and flower production and improves your numbers. Furthermore, it uses the lowest possible energy input with a maximum production per watt, a minimal use of water and nutrients, and a great working environment.

Why choose LED over HPS?

Control heat and light separately

High levels of radiant heat can stress or even burn the plants. With LED lighting you can control heat and light separately. You can apply higher levels of light to plants with 67% less radiant heat than HPS lighting. A lower crop temperature means you will have to raise the ambient temperature in your greenhouse and manage the related change in humidity.

More light, less radiant heat

One important aspect is understanding how to grow your crops with LED lighting. When comparing the energy balance of LED lighting versus HPS lighting, the conversion of electricity into light and heat is different. Using the same amount of energy, LED-modules deliver more light and less radiant heat. This does call for new growth strategies for high-wire crops.
