LED tomatoes as tasty as HPS-grown?
Are the fruits and vegetables as tasty as when grown under other light sources? One tomato grower from Germany asked exactly that question regarding LED lights versus conventional high-pressure sodium (HPS) grow lights. Bayern-based Gemüsebau Steiner has been using the two technologies side by side at its greenhouse in Kirchweidach, having recently replaced 1000 of its HPS lights with LEDs at the 20,000m2 facility. After sampling the fruits of both, Gemüsebau delivered its own answer: LED-raised tomatoes are tastier than their HPS brethren.
