Fluence Horticulture Service Specialist, Franz Josef Sima, is a fourth-generation grower with over ten years of experience in the European cannabis industry. In an interview with Food For Mzansi’s Farmer’s Inside Track podcast, he emphasises that indoor cannabis operations require the perfect spectrum of light, along with temperature control, humidity, and light intensity, among other factors.
“All these correlations sometimes need to be manufactured or be in line with the pharmaceutical standard,” says Sima.
Sima further explains how Fluence has already revolutionised the market by providing growers with high-quality LED lighting solutions specifically designed for controlled environment commercial crop production, with a focus on cannabis growers.
“It’s a very interesting story because about ten years ago you could not find quality LED lights on the market. We had round lights with very bad quality, the wrong spectrum, and they were overpriced,” Sima recalls.
Investing in Fluence LED lighting solutions can optimise yields, reduce costs, and improve crop quality, making it the key to unlocking high-quality indoor cultivation in South Africa. The LED products are highly efficient, durable, and consistent, providing growers with the perfect spectrum of light that plants need to thrive.
Fluence LED lighting solutions are not limited to the cannabis industry.. They are suitable for any type of crop, providing a perfect spectrum of light that plants need to grow. With Fluence , South African growers can take their agricultural operations to the next level and increase their profitability. The company offers a wide range of solutions for indoor cultivation of various crops, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, and more.
Sima believes that the legalisation of medical cannabis in South Africa presents an excellent opportunity for the agriculture market to invest in Fluence. The company’s LED lighting solutions are a game-changer for indoor cultivation and offer growers the perfect spectrum of light to optimise their yields, reduce costs, and improve crop quality.
The controlled environment created by Fluence allows growers to have consistent crop quality and yields, which is crucial for the export market. With Fluence LED lighting solutions, South African growers can ensure that their harvests meet the highest standards of quality and consistency, increasing their competitiveness in the global market.
