Intelligent investors always know that obtaining profits doesn’t mean to save cost, but make more earns, this is the reason why I write a story to explain effects of LED grow lights for cannabis.
Return on investment (ROI) refers to how much money you will get back from the money you spend, grow lights are an investment that can pay off for you in a number of ways.
Let me tell you how to get optimum ROI:
Particularly with CO2 supplementation, there is a largely linear relationship between light levels and photosynthesis (up until extreme light levels). Meaning, if your LEDs provide more light to your plants then more photosynthesis will take place and more growth.
This fact leads us to recommend that growers focus more on increasing light levels by switching to Atop LED Grow Lights and not just on lowering their lighting energy bill (you’ll still be saving up to half on your HVAC energy costs).
(Rate of photosynthesis at different light and CO2 levels)
Many of the wavelengths that are underrepresented in HPS spectra have been shown to induce the resistance of plants against various diseases. For example, LED-generated blue light has been reported to reduce the symptoms of gray mold in tomato, whereas red light has been reported to improve the disease resistance of cucumber, and UV light has been shown to improve a variety of parameters, including photosynthesis, the accumulation of nutrients and secondary compounds, and disease resistance. Therefore, the use of LED lighting can reduce plant losses to pests and disease, as well as the time and costs of fungicide application. In addition, LED lighting should also be especially attractive to organic growers since LED fixtures can help improve plant quality, while also reducing or eliminating the use of pesticides.
The abundance of red, blue, and UV-A in LED grow lights have been shown in numerous studies to significantly increase a large list of plant compounds associated with medicinal, nutritional, fragrance, color, and flavor qualities. This includes THC, terpenes, antioxidants like flavonoids and phenolic compounds, and even compounds associated with reducing the likelihood of cancer, like glucosinolates.
