Cannabis thrives under high light intensities, which are critical for optimal growth and yield. However, traditional high-pressure sodium (HPS) fixtures generate excessive radiant heat, complicating the maintenance of an ideal vapor pressure deficit(VPD). This leads to increased HVAC demands, higher energy consumption, and elevated costs.
Maximize yield and quality with dynamic LED lighting
The cannabis market’s volatility, driven by ever-evolving strains, demands adaptable growing strategies. Sollum’s dynamic LED lighting empowers growers to fine-tune light spectra for each strain, resulting in:
- Up to 40% yield increases.
- Enhanced flower quality and appearance.
Recent research underscores how specific light spectra influence cannabinoid profiles:
- Blue and red light enhances THC and cannabigerol (CBG) levels.
- Green light increases cannabidiol (CBD) production.
By leveraging Sollum’s approach, growers can meet the precise demands of both recreational and medicinal markets, maintaining a competitive edge.
Economic impact of dynamic LED lighting
Dynamic LED lighting offers significant operational advantages:
- Reduced HVAC requirements lower energy costs.
- Optimized light intensity and spectrum improve production efficiency.
These benefits ensure financial viability for both small and large-scale cannabis operations, making dynamic lighting a cornerstone for sustainable and profitable cultivation.
Tailored lighting for every growth stage
- Propagation
Far-red light enhances natural auxin production, promoting healthy root development. Sollum’s technology reduces reliance on synthetic hormones, fostering sustainable practices.
- Vegetative growth
An open canopy is essential for airflow and uniform light distribution. Sollum’s SUN as a Service® (SUNaaS®) platform allows growers to:
- Create and modify lighting zones.
- Apply customized red to far-red ratios, ensuring ideal plant structures for optimal airflow and light penetration.
- Flowering
Lighting strategies significantly impact cannabinoid profiles:
- Blue light boosts THC and CBG concentrations, enhancing potency.
- Far-red light support flowering and secondary metabolite production.
- Optimized light intensity increases inflorescence density, yielding a more desirable product.
Dynamic LED lighting in action
Before adopting Sollum’s dynamic LED lighting, a grower faced challenges with inconsistent cannabinoid profiles under HPS lights. After switching to Sollum:
- Yield increased by 40%.
- Potency was significantly enhanced through optimized light recipes.
These results demonstrate Sollum’s capability to unlock the genetic potential of each cannabis strain.
SUN as a Service® (SUNaaS®) for effortless optimization
Sollum’s SUNaaS cloud platform simplifies advanced lighting management:
- Remote monitoring and adjustments allow precise control over light recipes.
- Growers can implement evidence-based strategies like increasing blue light during flowering to boost THC content.
SUNaaS makes dynamic lighting accessible, driving yield and quality improvements without requiring technical expertise.
Conclusion
Sollum’s dynamic LED lighting solution redefines cannabis cultivation by offering:
- Higher yields and improved flower quality.
- Energy efficiency and reduced operational costs.
- Adaptability to the unique needs of each strain.
In a constantly evolving market, Sollum’s future-proof technology empowers growers to stay ahead, setting new standards for efficiency, quality, and innovation in cannabis production.
