Proof of Concept-SANlight EVO 4-120 @80%

Harvest The day before harvest, the plants were no longer watered, in order to deprive the flowers of as much water as possible. On the day of harvest, all large fan leaves were removed from the plants still standing. After removing the fan leaves, the plants were cut at pot height and the flowers were separated from the stem. Subsequently, the flowers were freed from their petals and the flowers were hung to dry. After successful flowering phase, the harvest of the hemp plants took place. The plants were first cut off whole and dried. Subsequently, the flowers were separated from the plant. The dry flowers were then trimmed by machine. Subsequently, the flowers were then finally dried at 20°C and 55% humidity. The flowers were sorted according to size (large and small flowers), and weighed. Results With the SANlight EVO series, exposure intensities >1.000µmol/m²/s lead to an increase in yield per area, but reduce the yield/performance ratio by up to 26%. Further, this trial demonstrates the superior performance of our EVO-series. Even when operating the lights at only 80% of their power, yields well above 500g/m² are achievable and more than 2g of flower mass can be produced per watt. From an economic point of view, the use of the EVO 4-120 is absolutely recommendable, and a reasonable compromise between performance and economy.
