Illuminating news about LED lighting and agritech
In the field of horticultural lighting, red and blue light have been the focus for driving plant growth and development. Red light, around 660 nm, is highly efficient for photosynthesis, while blue light, around 450 nm, plays an essential role in regulating plant structure and health. However, recent research has shown that adding full-spectrum white light, which more closely replicates natural sunlight, can significantly improve plant development, yielding healthier and more productive crops.
In the world of cannabis cultivation, controlling environmental factors is crucial for optimizing plant growth and maximizing yields.
In the intricate world of cannabis cultivation, mastering the environmental conditions of your grow space is paramount. One critical yet often overlooked factor is Vapor Pressure Deficit (VPD).
In the realm of Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA), the ability to manipulate and optimize every aspect of a plant’s surroundings offers unprecedented opportunities to enhance growth and yields.
Starting an indoor cannabis grow operation requires significant planning and investment. One of the most pressing questions for anyone looking to enter the industry is: how much will it cost?
To improve your ROI, maximizing the square footage of your commercial grow rooms is crucial. It involves fitting in as many plants as possible without compromising the quality or yield.
When growing cannabis indoors, it is important to simulate the conditions of its native climate as much as possible, while also making timely adjustments to parameters to elicit the highest yielding and best quality response from the plant.
Reducing operating costs is a key objective for most businesses, including those in the cannabis and food production industries. We explore practical actions that companies can take to reduce operating costs while still maintaining quality.
Only 53% of vertical farms and 42% of cannabis operators report reaching profitability. There are several factors that contribute to these low rates of profitability, including poor business planning, underfunding, and mismanagement.
In indoor cannabis cultivation, Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) relate to both cleanliness standards and processes undertaken to ensure repeatable manufacturing processes.
