How to determine optimum light levels to maximize bud yield when growing indoors.
Download the free White Paper from Hawthorne.
Cannabis research performed at Hawthorne R&D facility in Kelowna, Canada
Key takeaways:
- New LED technology makes it possible to grow at light intensities exceeding 1,000 PPFD, which is much higher than what is possible with HPS
- Growth in high light intensity requires CO2 injection to maximize growth & yield
- Internal R&D tests with Gavita RS 2400e have shown +50% in bud yield vs. HPS, +25% vs. Gavita RS 1700e and +17% vs Gavita CT 1930e*
- Additional benefits of canopy intensity >1,000 PPFD include faster crop cycles and more pronounced bud stacking
- Growers should consider the full system of inputs to avoid damaging plants with too much light
*Testing conducted on a Type I cultivar in Kelowna, Canada, utilizing the Flora Pro Expert feed program. Actual results will vary depending upon specific growing conditions.
