Using dynamic lighting to elevate cannabis cultivation

As the cannabis industry evolves, growers face pressure to deliver higher-quality products, maximize efficiency, and remain competitive in a rapidly shifting market. Greentone, a leading cannabis cultivator and the producer of 3Saints, OMY, and Bubble Kush, retrofitted its existing HPS system with Sollum Technologies' advanced dynamic LED lighting solution, combining cutting-edge technology with expert support to push the boundaries of their production.

Since adopting Sollum's solution, Greentone has observed improvements in yield, potency, and cultivation speed, showcasing the combined value of tailored lighting strategies and close collaboration with Sollum's agronomy and smart support teams.

Addressing key challenges in cannabis cultivation
Cannabis growers like Greentone must continuously adapt their growing and cultural practices to improve production efficiency and product quality, while meeting evolving consumer preferences.

Traditional lighting solutions, such as high-pressure sodium (HPS) fixtures often fail to meet the diverse spectral needs of different strains, limiting growers' ability to optimize yield, quality and cannabinoid profiles.

Tailored lighting strategies and expert guidance
With Sollum's dynamic LED lighting solution, Greentone benefited from precise, adaptable light management, ensuring the right light spectrum and intensity at every stage of growth. This approach was further strengthened through close collaboration with Sollum's agronomy and customer success teams, who provided ongoing guidance to optimize performance and outcomes.

Results from January 2025 vs January 2024
10% increase in average THC levels: As consumer expectations rise, potency has become a key differentiator. Greentone's improved cannabinoid profiles reflect the precision light management enabled by Sollum's dynamic LED solution, helping unlock the full genetic potential of each strain.

25% increase in total production: improved light strategies and optimized growing conditions led to a 25% boost in total production across all strains.

6 days faster harvest cycles: By retrofitting its HPS system with LEDs, Greentone was able to increase light levels while delivering an optimized light spectrum, which contributed to faster plant development and shortened harvest cycles by nearly a week. This acceleration translates to more production cycles per year and greater overall output.
