“ THC LEVELS UNDER FOHSE LIGHTS HAVE

BEEN THREE PERCENT HIGHER TOO ;
20 percent versus 17 percent on average .” and recreational cannabis products since 2015 . Their 26,600 square foot growing and production facility is stateof-the-art and eco-friendly . They strive to recreate the conditions that cannabis would find in nature and use only all-natural growing media and inputs as well as biological measures to control any pests or diseases . It only makes sense then that they would seek out and select Fohse products – the best lighting fixtures in the business – to match The Grove ’ s exacting standards . The dry Las Vegas air makes for a challenging indoor growing environment for cannabis . Fohse fixtures operate at much cooler temperatures than standard HPS fixtures . At The Grove , this means that the humidifiers and cooling systems don ’ t have to work as hard , and that an equilibrium between temperature and humidity level can be more easily achieved and maintained . This has led to some of the record harvests being seen regularly at The Grove .
