ASHS 2025 Conference

Dynamic lighting has recently evolved from theoretical research to commercial viability. As the cannabis industry faces increasing margin pressure, optimization techniques that enhance product quality while maintaining cost efficiency are essential for cultivation. But is dynamic lighting a silver bullet for enhanced cannabis cultivation? In this session Dr. Hawley will present research on UV, blue, red, and far-red light as it pertains to cannabis inflorescence quality and yield. New results will be presented that will inform how growers light their crops to maintain or exceed their current quality and yield while improving their lighting efficacy by 15% and reducing their lighting operational costs by 19%.
