VANQ Cannabis LED lighting expert

Hello, my name is Timo, and I am the sales liaison for VANQ Cannabis LED grow lights. VANQ is an LED lighting company headquartered in China. So why is light so important to the cannabis plant?

Cannabis is a very light hungry plant. It can not only respond to the actual amount of light you emit, but also the quality of the light. Consider using Cannabis as a light source. We like to look at three main points: light quantity, light quality and light period. Cannabis usually responds to different photoperiods at different stages. The vegetative state requires 18 hours of light, but at least 12 hours of darkness is required during the flowering period to induce flowering. Having consistent light, not only the quantity, but also the high quality, it also enables the grower to produce high-quality flowers.

Spectrum is very important for cannabis cultivation. Therefore, a good full-spectrum LED gorw light can not only promote photosynthesis, but also promote the production of secondary metabolites. Having the right light quality will increase your terpene content, and the cannabinoids, flavonoids and all other compounds in the plant will be affected by the quality of the spectrum delivered to the crop. Therefore, I want to talk about the importance of spectrum quality in cannabis production. During the growth stage of the plant, we will get high intensity blue light, which will promote the plant to grow short, firm, firm, very healthy and easy to bloom. In fact, during the flowering period, we pay more attention to red light to promote flower formation and bud development.

Now, it is also important to have white or broad-spectrum light or also known as green. White light can penetrate the canopy and deep into the crop itself, but it also promotes secondary metabolites such as terpenes, cannabinoids and flavonoids. We learned about it on VANQ. Lighting is only part of a highly integrated system.
