Fluence, the Austin-based horticulture LED lighting solution provider who were acquired by OSRAM in 2018, announced that it will provide AgMedica, an Canadian cannabis grower its LED-based growing systems exclusively.
AgMedica will deploy Fluence’s LED systems in its multitier facility with the capability to expand operations on demand. The facility will utilize Fluence’s SPYDR 2 series of LED systems at every stage of plant growth, from mother stock, propagation, vegetative to flowering, enabling AgMedica to grow crops consistently with high stability, while focusing on developing secondary metabolites to produce medical cannabis unique to the company’s exacting standards.
Gregory Gawne, senior vice president of business development at AgMedica, said, “Fluence is a strategic partner which enables AgMedica to produce the highest-quality flowers and efficiently produce multiple times the amount of yield without expanding our physical real estate. By leveraging Fluence solutions, we will also be able to further vertically grow our business as patient demand requires and produce uniform products year-round.”
Fluence SPYDR 2 series LED solutions are built for both multitier and single-tier applications and designed to deliver efficient, precise and uniform levels of photosynthetic photon flux density to increase plant yield.
