About this episode

This episode discusses the latest research on LED lighting spectrum and its impact on plant yield and quality.

Using LEDs to grow plants is still relatively new so research is critical in understanding how to use this new technology effectively. The latest research on spectrum and how it effects yield and quality is worth reviewing, not only because it shows Black Dog has been on the right path for over 14 years, but also because it is well done and looks at aspects that have not been previously studied at this level.Citation: Holweg MMSF, Kaiser E, Kappers IF, Heuvelink E and Marcelis LFM (2024) The role of red and white light in optimizing growth and accumulation of plant specialized metabolites at two light intensities in medical cannabis (Cannabis sativa L.).
