In modern agriculture, understanding the effects of different photon spectrums is crucial for optimizing plant health, yield, and quality. Ultraviolet (UV) and Infrared (IR) photons, while not as prominent as visible photons in traditional growing conditions, play pivotal roles in
Enhanced Energy Efficiency and Lower Utility Bills Switching from HPS to LED grow lights significantly improves energy efficiency. LEDs consume much less power than HPS lights while delivering equal or greater light intensity. This efficiency leads to substantial savings on
In the realm of hydroponic cultivation, the choice of materials for grow tray stands (rolling bench, flood table, etc.) can significantly impact the efficiency, durability, and cleanliness of your indoor cultivation setup. Stainless steel stands out as a superior option
Providing the correct vegetative stage lighting spectrum is essential. While there’s no single best light spectrum or LED for vegetative growth, certain spectrums can be more beneficial depending on the growth stage. Outdoors, plants receive a full spectrum of light
The choice of an indoor/greenhouse benching system, or “production surface“, is influenced by many variables. Traditionally, decisions were driven by labor concerns (e.g., bending and reaching), cost, and ease of movement within the structure. These factors remain important, but advances
Introduction to Under Canopy Lighting Technologies In modern horticulture, under canopy lighting serves as a critical tool, especially designed to supplement the light that fails to reach the lower regions of densely planted indoor environments. On the market today, there
Under canopy lights / side lighting can be used to maximize light exposure to crops, pushing yields to their peak and getting even those stubborn buds lower down on the plant to grow fat. However, this is only advantageous if
