Inter-Canopy Lighting

๐ŸŒฟ Cultivation First mentioned: Ep. 260

A cultivation system developed at Inexo where LED lights are mounted vertically alongside plants rather than solely overhead. For long-flowering haze and landrace varieties, this approach achieved 4 kg/m2/year at only 200 watts per square meter by illuminating the tall plants from the sides, creating a vertical screen of green (SCROG) effect.

Dom from Inexo demonstrated progressive trials: 30% redistribution showed quality improvement; 50/50 top/side split saved 35% electricity with 15% more yield; 100% side lighting proved viable for long-flowering types. Interior LEDs also improve microclimate by reducing humidity spikes from 93% to much lower, more stable levels.
