Can Inter Lighting Increase Cannabis Yields?

cannabis interlighting increase yield

If you grow cannabis for a living or as your business, you should know that cannabis is a light-loving plant, and the more light there is, the fuller the growth of the buds. But all the buds except the top ones look small, hence it will affect the overall harvest of the marijuana plant, and also indirectly your income. 

When you use plant lights to grow cannabis, usually hanging LED grow lights are preferred, but because they hang on top, the light is only accessible at the highest part of the crop. Therefore, it is normal to have popcorn buds on the top bar, but not enough, in other words, the inside buds on the inter canopy are tiny pieces also with a lower level of quality, which doesn't cut it; that is not a goal for people who try to choose to grow lights to expand harvest. 

How to solve this situation?

Before we talk about it, we should consider the question: would you rather have 20-30% more weight on lighter buds, or prefer a 20% increase in overall yield?

Furthermore, do we need inter-lighting?

If you have dialed in your growing up to the max and are sure your strain has reached its full genetic potential, then, by all means, add some inter lighting to push your plants to the limit.

If you have your cannabis grow site well organized and believe that there is nothing more you can do to improve the quality and yield of your cannabis, then adding intermediate lighting to your grow program may be a new option to continue to improve the yield and quality of your grow and thus increase your income. 

The role of inter lighting is more of a secondary role, matching up with top lighting. Hence, more light is directed to the interior, darker parts of the crop, spreading the light more evenly across the canopy. Today, more and more growers are using inter-canopy lighting to improve the quality and yield of cannabis.

Whether you are currently using HPS or LED grow lights to grow cannabis, if you want to increase the yield of cannabis again, you can try adding inter-lighting to the canopy to increase the yield, so that you can continue to increase the growth and yield of cannabis in a relatively fixed and limited area of cultivation. According to our data, adding intermediate lighting as a supplemental fixture to cannabis grow can increase overall yields by at least 20% growing with HPS or LED fixtures alone.
