This study was a collaborative effort of experts who have designed, installed, and monitored these systems. James Megerson, PE, LEED AP, Mechanical Engineer and Founder of Anvil Agrinomics, LLC, Michael Zartarian, MSEE, Horticulture Process Engineer and Principal of Zartarian Engineering, LLC, and Brian Anderson, AIA, Founder of cannabis architecture firm Anderson Porter Design, provide an experienced-based perspective to the performance data.

The future of greenhouse growing as an industry is changing rapidly due to market opportunities such as consumer demand for specific produce varieties, demand for local products, climate change, and the impact of technologies such as dynamic LED Lighting. Greenhouse growers now have the opportunity to create perfect lighting environments for crops all year long, change crops at any time, and adapt to plant and greenhouse conditions. Real-world applications show that truly dynamic lighting that offers real-time control of spectrum and intensity, unlike other lighting systems, increases yield, quality, and taste and saves energy. This white paper by Sollum’s R&D and Agronomy Team provides case examples including transitioning crops, fine-tuning lighting for cultivar genetics, light treatment, and more.

Is green light important? Would we prefer to leave green in the spectrum or convert it to red? The effects of green light on crop production have been studied, and while horticulture scientists continue to learn about the effects of the spectrum of crop growth and development, some general trends have emerged related to green light. UbiGro’s own Dr. Damon Hebert did the work for you in figuring out why Green Light really is essential for your plant spectrum. Download our ebook '4 Reasons Green Light is Essential' to get the answers.

LED technology continues to improve in intensity and efficacy. In the past few years, it has frequently beaten old technology when it comes to yields and quality when run head to head. This is a side by side comparison covering a span of five years. Now let’s talk numbers.

Learn about aeroponics and the new breakthrough technology removing all previous barriers of aeroponic irrigation!

Lighting solutions for horticultural applications have been relatively stable since the inception of the high pressure sodium (HPS) lamp in the 1960s. However, the industry is currently experiencing a renaissance as advances in light emitting diodes (LEDs) have enabled innovative ways in which light can enhance plant productivity.

This eBook features new emerging technologies that create solutions from product development to marketing and distribution for agricultural input manufacturers.
