Super interesting thread. We recorded a webinar with the growers at Silver State Relief in Nevada. We tried to address some of the questions that commercial growers ask regarding yield, quality and energy consumption. We're planning another webinar to get more data and information.
If you don't have 40 minutes, here are the highlights:
- Dr. Hopper and Dr. Wheatley are seeing improved cannabinoid production profiles under LEDs.
- Silver State Relief has 3 lighting scenarios: all LED, all HPS and checkerboard LED and HPS.
- The aggregate yield for the facility is 1.5 lbs per fixture.
- Lighting electricity costs were reduced by 43% in the all-LED rooms.
- Cooling costs in the all-LED rooms were reduced by 58%.
- Cannabis strains respond differently to various spectrums.
- Experiments with adjustable spectrums are underway to optimize cloning, - vegetative, flowering and mothering.
If you have questions or criticisms, please share. It'll help us with the follow-up webinar in April.
