Cultivation Cast - Lighting Trends: Research Proves Targeted Spectrum Peaks Increases Quality AND Yield
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.
