Fluence by OSRAM (Fluence) recently released its sixth annual "State of the Cannabis Lighting Market" report in partnership with Masa Perniagaan Ganja.
The results from this year's report create another invaluable layer of research supporting the efficacy of Lampu LED 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:
Pencahayaan LED ialah kaedah pencahayaan pilihan-terutama dalam kalangan penanam di seluruh Amerika Utara, mendahului semua kategori: pembiakan, tumbuh-tumbuhan dan berbunga.
Penggunaan LED untuk penanaman ganja telah meningkat lebih daripada 45 peratus untuk semua peringkat pertumbuhan sejak laporan awal pada 2016.
Lonjakan terkini dalam penggunaan LED sebahagiannya disebabkan oleh peningkatan pelaksanaan rak menegak, yang menyaksikan sedikit peningkatan merentas tumbuh-tumbuhan dan berbunga.
63 peratus penanam yang tidak menggunakan LED semasa berbunga sedang mempertimbangkan untuk melaksanakan penyelesaian dalam 12 bulan akan datang
Hasil tinjauan melaporkan 60 peratus peserta menunjukkan bahawa keupayaan pemalapan lekapan lampu adalah sama penting atau sangat penting untuk operasi penanaman mereka.
15 peratus penanam berkata mengurus kos tenaga adalah cabaran terbesar apabila mempertimbangkan pencahayaan LED.
"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."
Laporan itu termasuk gambaran menyeluruh mengenai trend pencahayaan dalam penanaman ganja, termasuk perbualan dengan penanam ganja dan pemimpin pemikiran di seluruh Amerika Utara daripada organisasi seperti Texas Original Compassionate Cultivation (TOCC), Fog City Farms, Institut Inovasi Sumber (RII), Columbia Care, dan banyak lagi.
