Fluence by OSRAM (Fluence) recently released its sixth annual "State of the Cannabis Lighting Market" report in partnership with Lub Sijhawm Ua Lag Luam Cannabis.
The results from this year's report create another invaluable layer of research supporting the efficacy of LED teeb pom kev zoo as a solution for full-cycle cannabis cultivation. The report utilizes data collected from cultivators throughout North America following an in-depth survey by Readex Research, a nationally acclaimed, third-party research organization.
"In recent years, not only have we observed the meteoric rise in LED adoption, but cannabis cultivators in particular are realizing the benefits of LED lighting strategies at each stage of plant production," says Fluence CEO David Cohen. "At Fluence, we are led by science in our exploration of the interaction between light and life to yield a healthier, more sustainable world."
The report provides a holistic view on the connection between different lighting solutions and plant growth across all stages — propagation, vegetation, and flowering — analyzing which solutions note upward trends of adoption by cannabis cultivators and why. Key findings include:
LED teeb pom kev zoo yog qhov saum toj kawg nkaus - txoj kev teeb pom kev zoo tshaj plaws ntawm cov neeg cog qoob loo thoob plaws hauv North America, ua rau thoob plaws txhua pawg: kev nthuav tawm, zaub, thiab paj.
Kev siv LED rau kev cog qoob loo cannabis tau nce ntau dua 45 feem pua rau txhua theem ntawm kev loj hlob txij li thawj tsab ntawv tshaj tawm xyoo 2016.
Tsis ntev los no surges nyob rau hauv LED saws yog ib feem los ntawm kev nce kev siv ntawm ntsug racks, uas pom me ntsis nce nyob rau hauv cov zaub thiab flowering.
63 feem pua ntawm cov neeg cog qoob loo uas tam sim no tsis siv LEDs thaum lub paj tawg yog txiav txim siab siv cov kev daws teeb meem hauv 12 lub hlis tom ntej.
Cov txiaj ntsig kev soj ntsuam tau tshaj tawm 60 feem pua ntawm cov neeg tuaj koom qhia tias lub teeb pom kev zoo teeb pom kev zoo yog qhov tseem ceeb lossis tseem ceeb heev rau lawv txoj haujlwm cog qoob loo.
15 feem pua ntawm cov neeg cog qoob loo tau hais tias kev tswj cov nqi hluav taws xob yog qhov nyuaj tshaj plaws thaum xav txog teeb pom kev zoo LED.
"Under LEDs, we were seeing buds that were tighter and terpene tests that were higher than what we'd see with traditional HPS lights," says Matt LaBrier, Chief Operations Officer at Proper Cannabis. "As power becomes more of a regulator in the indoor farming space and farmers educate themselves, everyone is going to go to LED in vertical farming."
Daim ntawv tshaj tawm suav nrog cov lus qhia dav dav rau kev teeb pom kev zoo hauv kev cog qoob loo cannabis, suav nrog kev sib tham nrog cov kws cog qoob loo cannabis thiab cov thawj coj xav thoob plaws North America los ntawm cov koom haum xws li Texas Original Compassionate Cultivation (TOCC), Fog City Farms, Resource Innovation Institute (RII), Columbia Care, thiab ntau dua.
