Technically Speaking: Lighting plants indoors, without sunlight
Greenhouse production takes advantage of sunlight, which usually provides most, if not all, the light to crops grown inside. Greenhouse growers, however, are increasingly amending sunlight with low-intensity photoperiodic lighting to create long day, high-intensity... more »
5 Universities Partner on USDA Grant on Culinary Herbs

Technically Speaking: Getting Started With Supplemental Greenhouse LED Lighting
The use of electric lighting inside greenhouses is nothing new, but the technology and sophistication of lighting have advanced dramatically in the last several years. Unlike conventional fixtures (i.e., high-pressure sodium), light-emitting diodes (LEDs) literally... more »
New Cannabis Light Spectrum Study Launches
Current, in partnership with The Hernández Lab at North Carolina State University (NCSU), is launching a new study into the potential of supplemental LED lighting to support commercial cannabis production. The new research project is... more »
Technically Speaking: Far-red Light in Greenhouse and Indoor Farming
Far-red is a waveband of light that is marginally visible to us but has profound effects on plant growth and development. Far-red light is often described as radiation with a wavelength between 700 and 800... more »
Technically Speaking: Futuristic Light(ing) in Horticulture
The science and engineering of crop production continues to advance with new or more effective technologies. This is especially true with the production of specialty crops inside greenhouses and indoor (vertical) farms. There have been... more »
Blooming by Lamplight
Many greenhouse crops flower in response to day length and will only flower, or flower faster, when the proper photoperiod is provided. Photoperiodic crops are categorized as short-day plants (SDPs) or long-day plants (LDPs), where... more »
Leadership on LED Grow Lights
The benefits of using supplemental light for the propagation and production of greenhouse ornamental, vegetable and cannabis crops have been well documented by university researchers and commercial growers. Much of the research with ornamental crops... more »
