rave about quality of plants
grown under Philips LEDs
for the season so they've removed that limiting factor, the thing that mother nature never gives you quite enough of in November, December, January“
- Tom Gunther, Lead Grower of Propagation, Lucas Greenhouses
With HID lights failing, Lucas Greenhouses explored options to provide sustainable and efficient light levels to their vegetative liners.
In 2016, Lucas installed a trial of Philips GreenPower LED toplighting. The trial proved to be a success in that propagation time for some crops was reduced by up to one week, crops required less PGRs, and Lucas experienced more predictability in crop time.
Lucas and Tom Gunther, Lead Grower of Propagation, pursued an expansion of their LED toplighting installation for the 2018/2019 growing season. By replacing HID lights with Philips LED grow lights, Lucas was able to light an area 40% larger without increasing power consumption.
The results Lucas experienced with the trial were replicated on a larger scale:
- Propagation time reduced by 10-20%
- Reduced use of PGRs
- Improved plant quality
