Greentone's transition from HPS to Sollum dynamic LED

Over the past decade, the cannabis industry has evolved from a niche market into a worldwide phenomenon. With legalization rapidly expanding and consumer demand growing more sophisticated, cultivators are under constant pressure to deliver higher-quality products, greater potency, and consistent yields—all while controlling costs and meeting stringent energy-efficiency standards.

Historically, many commercial producers relied on high-pressure sodium (HPS) lighting systems. While HPS was once a mainstay in large-scale cultivation, its fixed-spectrum output, high heat emission, and rigid energy consumption model can limit a grower’s ability to adapt to changing market conditions and varied cultivar requirements. Today, a new generation of dynamic LED lighting solutions offers precise spectrum and intensity control, giving cultivators unprecedented flexibility to optimize yield and tailor the quality of the product.

One compelling example of this shift is Greentone, a prominent cannabis producer, in Québec, Canada, known for strains such as 3Saints, OMY, and Bubble Kush. Seeking to enhance production and product consistency, Greentone replaced its HPS setup with Sollum’s dynamic LED grow lights.
