Fluorescent Lighting Option for Cannabis Production

Fluorescent Lighting Option for Cannabis Production Professor DeBacco Best Use of Fluorescents Fluorescent grow lights are best known for their propagation abilities (especially when it comes to cannabis) simply due to their overall low light intensities. Can be used for full growing cycle of low light demanding crops like lettuce. Commonly seen used for… Clones Seedlings Young plants Utilized When Plants Are Small Fluorescent tubes can cover the specific area of the young plants. This will cut down on square footage space and can help growers maximize their propagation space and potentially save money on electrical costs. These lights can also emit a full spectrum or favor the blue (or red) wavelengths to help control the height of the plants. *Blue color favoring will help keep the plants small and compact. Using Fluorescents Fluorescent grow lights have a low heat output and low light intensity, when compared to CMH, HPS and LED options. The distance between lights and plants will vary based on the exact type of fluorescent that is selected, but a good starting point is to leave a spacing of 6” (15cm). The lights should be on adjustable hangers so this distance can be maintained (or adjusted) as the plants grow. Note: Having a large space will cause plants to stretch and become light deprived. How Many Hours to Run the Fluorescent Lights? Since these should be only used during the vegetative growth the photoperiod should be kept 16hr.+ However, due to the poor light intensities growers should be running these lights 20-24hr to keep the DLI has high as possible, especially for cannabis which is a high light tolerant plant. Two Types of Fluorescent Light Options The two main types of fluorescent grow lighting are the fluorescent T5 grow light and Comact Fluorescent Light (CFL). For plant production T5’s are the option that should be considered. T5 grow lights offer many advantages (over CFL’s)… Easier to set-up More efficient operation Bulbs last longer *be sure a T5 ballast is being used Link to Lecture Slides: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Ejt4... 420 Magazine Source Content by Slide Title: Title: Fluorescent Lighting Option for Cannabis Production https://www.420magazine.com/community... https://www.420magazine.com/community...
