Fluence has released the ninth annual "State of the Cannabis Lighting Market" report. Headlining this year's report is more evidence of the rapid and consistent adoption of LED technology among cannabis growers. Survey respondents also noted increased interest in augmenting their top light solutions with side, inter-canopy, or sub-canopy lighting.
"LED adoption is on the precipice of becoming the universal standard for critical phases of cannabis cultivation, delivering greater yields than HPS with less heat and energy consumption—without sacrificing crop quality," said Dr. David Hawley, principal scientist for Fluence. "For growers, those benefits have catalyzed an interest in adding even more energy within the canopy via inner canopy and sub- or under-canopy lighting, which Fluence research has shown could produce greater yields and higher-quality buds in the lower canopy when deployed additively to top lighting."
The report precedes MJBizCon's 2024 event, where Fluence will showcase the latest products in its VYPR, RAPTR, SPYDR, and VYNE series. The company will also host public fireside chats at its booth with leading cannabis researchers and growers, including Travis Higginbotham, founder and CEO of Due Diligence Horticulture, and Dave Holmes, founder and CEO of Clade9.
"Cannabis growers are natural innovators. They move quickly to adopt new technology and customize applications in their facilities. They confer with each other, seeking to learn from the brightest minds in the industry in the pursuit of advancing cultivation," said Steve Graves, Fluence's senior vice president of strategy and business development, in his opening letter for the "State of the Cannabis Lighting Market" report.
"We look forward to fostering new connections at MJBizCon while showcasing how our lighting technology will help growers boost plant quality and exceed their business goals," Graves added.
Dr. Hawley will also explore the rising interest in intercanopy lighting during his MJBizCon session—"Maximizing Cannabis Yield with Intercanopy Lighting: Strategies and Best Practices"—which will take place at 10:50 a.m. PST on Dec. 5 in Room 1. Find Fluence on the Expo Floor at booth No. 43023.
