Superior quality light spectra inside high-performance LED luminaires can expedite the growth cycle and produce plants with increased flower dry weight and a higher concentration of Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabidiol (CBD), and other secondary metabolites.
Valoya’s spectra have gone through years of independent testing against traditional lighting technologies such as High Pressure Sodium (HPS) and competitor products. As a result, the light spectrum we developed for medical plants is one of the widest on the market and includes wavelengths beyond the PAR area (400-700 nm), such as far-red and UV-A. Thanks to this, plants develop a compact phenotype and produce more secondary metabolites and terpenes. Furthermore, the addition of shorter wavelengths such as deep blue and UV-A reduce the chances of pest development.
