Sunlight as the best light for cannabis plants
Sunlight is the best light for growing Cannabis plants. With an intensity of up to 180000 lumens, it offers a higher intensity than artificial light and constantly changes position throughout the day so that all parts of the plant get some of it.
Challenges in outdoor cultivation
Due to our northern location and the associated strong fluctuations in the day-night rhythm, only specially adapted varieties and only one pass can be successfully grown in the OutDoor cultivation be cultivated.
Caution with UV light
Ultraviolet light is just as harmful to cannabis plants as it is to our skin. Plants have to get used to it gradually. If plants grown under artificial light are simply placed in sunlight, the chlorophyll can be destroyed, the leaves fade and die. Slow acclimatization to sunlight is therefore essential.
How much sunlight does the cannabis plant need?
The cannabis plant needs a lot of sunlight during the growth and flowering phase in order to grow and thrive optimally. In the growth phase, the plant needs around 18 hours of light and 6 hours of darkness per day, while a 12-hour light and 12-hour darkness period is ideal in the flowering phase. Outdoors, the amount of sunlight required depends on the geographical location, climate and season. In regions with high sunlight intensity, plants may be able to manage with fewer hours of sunlight than in regions with lower sunlight intensity. Indoors, the amount of light required can be regulated with artificial light sources.
Conclusion:
To summarize, sunlight is the best light for growing cannabis plants as it provides higher intensity and constantly moves throughout the day to reach all parts of the plant. However, challenges can arise when growing outdoors due to the northern location and fluctuations in the day-night rhythm. Care should be taken when handling UV light as it can be harmful to cannabis plants, especially if they have been grown under artificial light. Slow acclimatization to sunlight is therefore essential. Overall, it is important to understand the needs of the plants and create the right light conditions to achieve healthy and successful harvests.
