There are many factors to consider when growing our favourite plant. One of the key factors that will determine its yield is lighting. In light of the massive shift of growers to using LED lighting to grow their cannabis, THC BioMed stays true to its roots by maintaining HID (High-Intensity Discharge) lighting to keep the same consistency of high-quality, high-THC cannabis it is known for.
HID lights are the standard for growing cannabis. According to Pipp Horticulture, “They are known for their effectiveness, especially during flowering stages. Although they provide the full spectrum, HID systems emit stronger red light, which is considered best at encouraging photosynthesis.” Moreover, gardening experts PlantIn adds, “Cannabis is a “photoperiod” plant. Simply put, the amount of light that a plant receives affects when it begins to bloom and, accordingly, it can be harvested.” Because we grow our cannabis indoors, in highly controlled environments, the heat that the HID lights emit makes it a perfect combination to achieving a healthy yielding plant. Having received a rare exemption 56 license in 2012, our team was able to experiment with various methods to grow cannabis even before its legalization, and we’re glad to continue using HID lighting in our process as it allows us to provide our constantly thriving and potent cannabis products today.
