StateHouse launches Intercanopy Lighting Validation Group study

StateHouse Holdings announced the launch of the Intercanopy Lighting Validation Group study. Initiated by Statehouse and conducted in partnership with the Cannabis Research Coalition, and a group of anonymous global growers, the study will determine the impact of Flower Direct Cannabis Cultivation lighting principles through the application of Grow Light Design fixtures. GLD systems are patented, two-level fixtures that create a cube of light surrounding the crop that can be rotated or tilted to maximize efficiency and photon capture. As crops grow, cultivators can adjust the placement and direction of the light to channel it directly on the crop’s flowers. This ICLVG will each examine the application of the same daily light integral, a measure of total photosynthetically active radiation “light” plants receive during a 24 hour day, using top lighting alone and top lighting combined with GLD’s system. The study will determine each lighting system’s impact on cannabis crop biomass yield, biomass category ratio and finished flower quality with results expected in late Q3 2023. During the study of FDC2 lighting principles, StateHouse will share insights into additional principles of Flower Direct Cannabis Cultivation including the importance and impact of airflow, supplemental CO2, water use efficiency and the homogenization of the growing environment in general.
