Fluence by OSRAM (Fluence) recently released its sixth annual "State of the Cannabis Lighting Market" report in partnership with Cannabis Business Times.
The results from this year's report create another invaluable layer of research supporting the efficacy of LED osvetlitev 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 osvetlitev je najbolj-najboljša metoda osvetlitve med kultivatorji po vsej Severni Ameriki, ki vodi v vseh kategorijah: razmnoževanje, vegetacija in cvetenje.
Uporaba LED za pridelavo konoplje se je od prvotnega poročila leta 2016 povečala za več kot 45 odstotkov za vse stopnje rasti.
Nedavni porast uporabe LED diod je delno pripisan vse pogostejši uporabi navpičnih regalov, ki so se rahlo povečale v vegetaciji in cvetenju.
63 odstotkov pridelovalcev, ki trenutno ne uporabljajo LED med cvetenjem, razmišlja o implementaciji rešitev v naslednjih 12 mesecih
Rezultati raziskave so poročali, da je 60 odstotkov udeležencev navedlo, da so zmožnosti zatemnitve razsvetljave enako pomembne ali zelo pomembne za njihove dejavnosti gojenja.
15 odstotkov kultivatorjev je dejalo, da je obvladovanje stroškov energije največji izziv pri razmišljanju o LED razsvetljavi.
"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."
Poročilo vključuje izčrpen pregled trendov razsvetljave pri gojenju konoplje, vključno s pogovori z gojitelji konoplje in miselnimi voditelji po vsej Severni Ameriki iz organizacij, kot so Texas Original Compassionate Cultivation (TOCC), Fog City Farms, Resource Innovation Institute (RII), Columbia Care, in več.
