Case Study #1
DogHouse Supreme Cannabis of Salem Oregon:
Achieved 27% increase in THC test results in the latest Certificate of Analysis for their top shelf recreational cultivation in Salem Oregon
Jon Hudnall and DogHouse Supreme Cannabis – a 5-time Dope Cup award winner- is an Oregon and Washington State-based grower enthusiastic about experimentation and innovation in growing techniques. Hudnall has been working with Sunscape LEDs since their early prototype days and has seen first-hand the benefits of using LED lighting in cannabis cultivation.
“The Sunscape LED light fixtures have allowed me to successfully cultivate cannabis strains with lower wattages while still achieving high yields and excellent quality,” Hudnall says. “The spectral output of the Sunscape LEDs is very close to that of the sun, which helps to promote healthy plant growth.”
In addition to the improved plant growth, Hudnall has also seen a significant decrease in energy costs associated with LED lighting.
“I’ve been able to reduce my electricity usage by up to 70% when compared to traditional HID lighting,” Hudnall adds.
Sunscape LED grow lights were used in a dedicated flowering room at DogHouse. SUNSCAPE’s extensive testing at DogHouse has provided consultation for the company and further data on SUNSCAPE’s products that would not be available from a standard trial.
Sunscape LED has been shown to be an effective grow light for cannabis plants during the flowering stage, even when used by growers who are accustomed to growing larger plants with traditional LED lights. Despite this being only a test of the Sunscape LED light and using clones that were not of the best quality, the results were impressive.
All DogHouse strains showed considerable improvement with SUNSCAPE lighting, most notably:
- their Scoobie Snacks strain which grew by 27% in THC (19.49% HPS vs. 24.81% LED).
- Terpene levels set a record high for DogHouse at 5%.
- The SUNSCAPE and DogHouse teams also noticed that DogHouse’s “Wet Dog” had a 12% THC increase.
- “Slymer” when grown under SUNSCAPE lights increased by 7% in THC. SUNSCAPE and DogHouse consistently produced over one gram per watt.
The benefits of using SUNSCAPE LED lighting systems are clear, and DogHouse is just one example of how growers can increase their yields while also improving the quality of their product.
Case Study #2
A Therapeutic Alternative:
45% increase in yield
A Therapeutic Alternative, a medical grower in Sacramento, CA, conducted a trial of SUNSCAPE LED systems against their HPS lighting.
The director of A Therapeutic Alternative was initially skeptical of making the transition to LED technology, but she also saw the potential benefits of moving to a more cost effective and environmentally friendly solution.
She was pleased to see that the Sunscape LED light produced a significantly higher yield than the HPS light. In the trial, a single HPS PL 1000-watt light was replaced with a SUNSCAPE LED 6 bar unit operating at 660 watts. After harvest, the director reported 1.79 pounds grown under the SUNSCAPE LED lights vs. only 1.20 pounds under the HPS light – an increase of 0.59 pounds (a total dry weight increase of 45.49%).
Ongoing testing in Oregon…
The Sunscape LED team collaborates with expert on-site growers at the Oregon Innovation Center daily. The Innovation Center provides SUNSCAPE with a space to collect ongoing, pertinent data, run tests in controlled environments, and build community with our partners.
Our Research and Development facility is pesticide free and uses constituents from organic sources, as well as integrated pest management (IPM) techniques. The Innovation Center routinely produces 28% THC and 3% terpene content, high quality cannabis.
