This year marks the seventh annual Cannabis Business Times “State of the Cannabis Lighting Market” report. This research serves as a reminder of how far commercial cannabis cultivation has advanced in the intervening years. Since this exclusive cannabis lighting research first published in 2016, the industry has collectively benefited from a growing body of scientifically rigorous cannabis research that was impossible a few short years ago.
While the increasing wealth of cannabis knowledge impacts all aspects of cultivation, perhaps no area has proved more exciting and surprising than the relationship between cannabis and light. From hands-on, in-house lighting trials to university and manufacturer research, growers are pushing genetics to potentials yet unknown. What’s been discovered is changing the lighting market and the ways cultivators grow. Yet, there’s still much to learn.
This 2022 “State of the Cannabis Lighting Market” report was made possible with support from Fluence and conducted by third-party research organization Readex Research. These results and comparisons to previous CBT reports reveal valuable insights into cannabis lighting trends and practices. They also reinforce the importance of the benchmarks established by this significant Cannabis Business Times research.
