Plants
In 30 years of research and development we have learned that each species of cultivar require different light levels. At P.L. Light Systems we can develope a specific light plan that meets your needs using the least amount of light fixtures required.
Although your grower may already have what determined light level they desire, our current recommendation are as follows.
