Duration: 1 hour

In this FREE webinar you will hear about the latest scientific findings regarding LED light for cannabis. Independent research data on cannabis is usually not publicly available or simply does not yet exist. Over the past 4 years Valoya has continuously been researching the effects of the light spectrum on the cannabis plant morphology and THC/CBD content, in collaboration with Dr. Gianpaolo Grassi (CREA-CI Institute, Italy), the world renowned Cannabis sativaresearcher. Some of this data has already been published in the Journal of Medical Cannabis and Cannabinoids within the first academic paper to compare the effects of HPS vs. LED on cannabis. Trial results presented in the webinar will include new, yet unpublished data from the most recents trials, conducted in 2019.

Additionally, we will discuss lighting needs of the cannabis plant in all its growth stages from tissue culture to the flowering phase. Valoya, the manufacturer of LED grow lights, known for its science based approach to developing LED solutions has been committed to plant biology research since its founding, over a decade ago. Before entering the cannabis market Valoya has studied a variety of LED spectra and their effects on fresh and dry flower weight, concentrations of THC, CBD and other secondary metabolites etc. These findings will be presented as well to further deepen our knowledge on optimal cultivation practices of cannabis.

The webinar will be hosted by Ms. Stiina Kotiranta, Valoya’s Research Manager who has a long standing experience in conducting LED trials on plants, most of which in collaboration with world’s leading research institutes and agricultural companies.
