  • LED grow light VS HPS for Cannabis Cultivation 11.04/2021

    The experimental results were measured on the aspect of morphology and production

    Morphology

    Compared to HPS, the cannabis strains under LED light G5 was growing more slowly, and the stems were thinner. LED light G5 was proved to avoid extension growth and increasing leafing effectively.

    Compared to HPS, the cannabis under LED light G5 booming with long and thin flower. LED light G5 was proved to grow bigger inflorescence.

    Notes

    Grams of dried product/square foot of canopy(0/m2)

    447

    557

    25%

    The square footage is simply the length of canopy coverage multiplied by its width. Divide the total dried product v/eight by the square footage, then v/ill get the yield per square foot. It is the most commonly used measure to compare crop yields.

    THC Production/square foot of canopy(0/m1)

    70

    97

    38%

    Yieldis different than potency of THC. THC is the main psychoactive compoundincannabis that produces thehighsensation.

    Divide the total floralTHC v/eightbythe square footage, thenv/illget the THC per square foot.

    Grams of dried product/kilowatt-hour (g/kwh)

    1.05

    2.07

    97%

    This is the industry standard measure that allows us to calculate the energy costs over the yield. It is a very useful tool to compare various lighting systems.

     

    Whatever to considerthe dried products orTHC products per square foot, the yield with LED grow light G5 are much higher than HPS.

    And, LED grow light G5 maintain higher efficiency than HPS. That means, although with lower wattage input, LED can also reach the samePPFD as HPS.

    As illustrated inthe table, if calculatingthe dried product by electricity consumption (kwh), the yield under LED light G5 are almost doublethan HPS.

     

    Conclusion

    Almost the same average PPFD for HPS and LED grow light G5.But lower wattage input, higher yield by LED grow light G5 in this experiment, since it is

    • More efficient / Less heat
    • Tailored Spectrum

    Actually, the total cost will cut down rapidly and growerswill achieve higher ROI in realistic cultivation project due to the additional Pros as below;

    • Lower electric bill due to additional Pros for temperature
    • Less water required
    • Increased Lifespan (50000hrs)and the maintenance and fixture installation cost will be saved
    With the brand position of “The Pioneer of Light”, Lightera devotes itself to lead the future of lighting.
