“ WE ’ RE CONTINUALLY REFINING OUR PROCESSES and elemental parameters while integrating advanced technologies .”
Cultivators need insights , which they won ’ t find by reading a manufacturer ’ s spec sheet . Cultivators need to know the strategies they implement will work because they were optimized for them , not because they worked for someone else .
Fluence ’ s goal is to connect customers to the research and relationships that address those needs . The company partners with leading research organizations around the world to better understand the critical role light plays in every facet of cannabis production , from plant quality and spectrum sensitivity to top-line performance metrics like yield and consistency . Fluence ’ s latest research confirmed that broad-spectrum LEDs have the greatest impact on cannabis yield and plant quality , revealing up to 35 percent greater biomass in some cultivars under broad-spectrum LEDs in greenhouse and indoor environments . “ Investing in exploring the science behind Fluence ’ s solutions is crucial to staying educated , informed and ahead of important innovations in the rapidly evolving cannabis industry ,” said David Cohen , CEO of Fluence . “ We are dedicated to partnering with leading institutions and groundbreaking operators , such as Wageningen University and Research and Texas Original Compassionate Cultivation , on impactful , industrydriving research . These studies enable us to provide comprehensive LED solutions backed by data to cannabis growers around the world .”
LED BY SCIENCE . FOLLOWED BY ALL . As Fluence unlocks the long-hidden secrets of consistent , high-quality cannabis production , its horticulture experts work with customers to apply learnings to their unique controlled environments . The only way to do that is to be on the ground in the grow with them , to see what they see every day and to ensure the growers play a critical role in finding the right solution and strategy to improve their operations and achieve top-line cultivation goals . The Fluence horticulture services team welcomes the opportunity and the challenge . They ’ ve been where growers are . They know what it ’ s like to spend more time with plants than people . They support growers in their local markets and speak their local languages . And , ultimately , they know that success depends on the combined efforts of cultivators and their partners who can provide the right mix of cultivation experience , emerging best practices and comprehensive technical support . “ My vision in launching Harbor Farmz last year was to elevate cannabis production in Michigan by establishing efficient growing strategies , taking a fully organic approach , deeply understanding soil chemistry and developing a sophisticated genetic library that we can share cuttings from for years to come ,” said Michael Ward , founder and CEO of Harbor Farmz . Harbor Farmz is a Kalamazoo , Michigan-based cannabis cultivator that recently announced its
successful implementation of Fluence ’ s LED lighting solutions in its cultivation facility and tissue culture lab . “ Precision is key ,” Ward continued . “ We ’ re continually refining our processes and elemental parameters while integrating advanced technologies like Fluence ’ s LED lighting into our growing environment . Collaborating with Fluence enables my team to create efficiencies in our cultivation and harvest methodologies to deliver the best medicine that will benefit our customers .” Ultimately , products don ’ t show cultivators how to get the most out of their plants and facilities . People do . Products don ’ t show cultivators how their new LED lighting system affects heat dissipation or surface leaf temperature . People do . Products don ’ t show cultivators the best lighting strategy for a specific cultivar . People do . There are still so many amazing insights just waiting to be discovered . It can be daunting for cultivators to think how those discoveries might change the way they operate , design their facilities , deploy their lighting strategies , or grow their plants . But the journey is far from a lonely one . Fluence is a trusted partner in that journey , dedicating resources to ask and answer the critical questions cultivators have as they compete in crowded markets and move toward more profitable , more sustainable , and more informed cultivation strategies .
