Under canopy lighting has changed how commercial growers think about yield. By placing supplemental light beneath the plant, growers finally reach the lower and inner foliage overhead fixtures alone can never fully illuminate. What started as a niche technique is now standard practice, and GrowPros Solutions has been leading the shift.
GrowPros Solutions designs and manufactures every light in house, meaning every improvement comes from a team that understands cultivation firsthand.
One of the clearest examples of that innovation is the GrowPros Solutions integrated airflow system, the only one of its kind in the industry and patented by GrowPros Solutions. Instead of treating light and air as separate variables, GrowPros Solutions built a fixture that combines under canopy lighting with airflow in a single unit, helping break the CO2 barrier that limits so many commercial rooms. The airflow intake draws CO2 directly to the plant’s stomata, the point of uptake, so distribution across the lower canopy stays even instead of concentrating near the top of the room. That even distribution helps the plant breathe and grow more easily, on top of keeping the canopy dry and reducing mold and mildew risk, so photosynthesis at the lower canopy becomes more robust.
GrowPros Solutions was also the first manufacturer to add a dedicated far red channel into an under canopy light, giving growers a real tool for shortening harvest times and gaining an additional harvest per year. Other companies have since introduced their own versions, but GrowPros Solutions remains the innovator others are measured against.
That commitment to research goes beyond product design. The white paper was written by Ben Matsuda, Partner at GrowPros Solutions, alongside Khoa at Spaceship Cannabis and Dr Nathan J Eylands of the University of Minnesota, with consultation from Dr Shuyang Zhen, Professor at Texas A&M. The paper, titled Influence of Independently Applied Far Red Radiation Outside of the Photoperiod in Cannabis Sativa, backs up why GrowPros Solutions pushed hard for spectrum tunable lights.
GrowPros Solutions delivered 5 different models of under canopy light for different uses, and is the only company delivering an eight foot commercial fixture. Model 1 is full spectrum; Model 2 is our 80 percent red spectrum and best seller; Model 3 pairs blue, UV, and cool white on one channel with warm white 660 nm red and 700 nm far red on a second; Model 4 runs 80 percent red and far red on separate channels; and Model 5 is our UCL two spectrum fixture with integrated airflow, covering every stage from entry level control to advanced, data driven rooms.
Every GrowPros Solutions light includes waterproof connections from the power cords to the data cords, plus an innovated power cord with replaceable fuses that protects against dirty power and end user error. GrowPros Solutions also innovated the bench bridge, a safer, more efficient setup that keeps fixtures off the pots, since running lights on pots is one of the worst practices for success. Across thousands of documented cases, growers report yield increases of 20 to 30 percent.
GrowPros Solutions is aiming to build the most reliable under canopy lights in the cannabis industry, offering more options of under canopy lights and more innovation than any other manufacturer, and is already designing three and four channel lights to round out the lineup. For growers who want more yield, better quality flower, shorter harvest times, and a fixture built by people who understand cultivation, GrowPros Solutions remains the benchmark others are still trying to catch
