Case Study: Olympia, WA
Washington state legalization of recreational cannabis (i-502) Tier 1 grower. This grower looks to solve their poor heat management under T5 light fixtures and their poor root development under T5 fixtures
Objectives
- Heat management
- Energy and cost savings
- Better root development
- Increase or maintain cannabinoid levels
Environment
- Clone & veg cycles under T5HO vs under FGI LED lightbar series
ROOT DEVELOPMENT IN CLONE/VEG UNDER LED
Before
After
The following three lab reports are under LEDs. The grower said the THC was relatively unchanged compared to his HPS, however, he was very enthusiastic about the dramatic increase in cannabinoids.
