I - THE VALUE OF AN LED LUMINAIRE IN YOUR CROPS
Spectrum of the LED luminaire
A suitable light spectrum for professional cannabis cultivation is the light spectrum that provides the ingredients necessary to maximize output in grams per installed watt. Our LED lights provide what your cannabis needs: UV, PAR and infrared light.
Intensity of the LED luminaire
The required light intensity (μmol) will depend on the phase of culture which we intend to exploit: propagation, vegetative growth or flowering. Our LED luminaires are full cycle and with the ability to be regulated from 0-10V or by DALI.
Design of the LED luminaire
The durability of an LED luminaire depends on its design, many lower power LEDs distributed by a large Dissipating surface. Luminaires without the need to be cooled with fans or mechanical elements. Our LED luminaires will keep the light level above 70% of the initial value, during its five-year warranty .
II - THE LIGHT SPECTRUM FOR CANNABIS
Full cycle LED lighting.
Higher growth, with a denser flowering and more resin.
UV ( 385nm ) contribution: Stimulates the generation of resin and therefore higher amount of cannabinoids.
Contribution of blue light ( 430nm ) : Important for a vigorous vegetative growth.
Green and yellow light input ( 580nm ) : Important in vegetative growth and quality of the flowering as it crosses the canopy of the plant, reducing stress and improving the transformation of nutrients.
Contribution of red light (600nm): Important for germination and first stage of the plant, as well as for flowering.
Infrared light input ( 730nm ) : Important in the shade escape response of plants, Keeping the distance between knots under control, getting more compact plants and flowers.
Promotes intensive growth and flowering.
The secret of success is in the composition and quality of light.
A spectrum suitable for cannabis, it is the one that best promotes nutrient absorption (380-740nm). Our LED luminaires are implemented with many SMD LED chips of a light color of 4000K, together with SMD LED chips below 400nm (ultra-violet) and red SMD LED chips and far infrared (> 720nm).
Our LED luminaires do not dispense with the green and yellow component to offer an apparent saving of energy. The green and yellow component penetrates better below the plant canopy, being absorbed by the foliage lower, necessary for proper functioning of photosynthesis, absorption and transformation of nutrients. The light ultraviolet along with infrared light will help your cannabis plants to generate dense flowers and more resin.
III - LIGHT INTENSITY FOR CANNABIS
Propagation and germination.
During this stage the level of PPFD (μmol) required is low. low power luminaires are required, interconnectable and watertight. With a different light spectrum to the growth and flowering stage.
Vegetative growth.
The levels of PPFD (μmol) vary depending on the purpose (mothers or pre-flowering growth). If we add CO2 the PPFD levels will be higher and vice versa. We calculate the levels you need, so that you don’t waste a single watt.
Flowering.
Requires a sufficient PPFD (μmol) level for good gram per watt production. Oversize light level Without CO2 input is unproductive, underdimensioning it can lead to low yields. Our luminaires can vary their intensity according to the requirements of different stages, or complement the Natural light in crops-green house .
The most productive LED light will depend on the stage and conditions of the crop.
Investment in LED lighting for professional cannabis cultivation accounts for a significant portion of the total budget. Aware of the importance of excellent advice, calculation and planning work, the technicians in the Venalsol® study with state-of-the-art software that provides PPFD (μmol) levels across the entire calculation surface.
We advise our customers according to stage, technique and CO2 levels, with the best solution to obtain the best performance gram per watt invested .

674.58 μmol/s/m2
Intensity values in μmol according to plant stage:
| Propagation | Development | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| In-vitro | Cuttings | Vegetative | Flowering |
| 50-75 | 75-150 | 300-600 | +600 |
CO2 concentration (ppm) by plant stage:
| Propagation | Development | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| In-vitro | Cuttings | Vegetative | Flowering |
| 400 | 400-800 | 800-1400 | |
