Fluence Drives Improved Yields with Cannabis Cultivator Clade9

Fluence announced results from its successful partnership with California cannabis cultivator Clade9. In the first grow cycle under Fluence LEDs, Clade9 experienced a yield increase of 70%.

With more than 25 years of cultivation experience, Holmes is a pioneer in the California cannabis industry. Holmes created Clade9 in 2015 with a vision for providing consumers access to the highest-quality cannabis products. Clade9 firmly believes customers know the difference between “good enough” and premium cannabis.

To maintain and enhance product quality, Clade9 and Fluence worked together to convert a grow room outfitted with 72 high-pressure sodium (HPS) light fixtures to 72 Fluence RAPTRs, a high-output top light built specifically to function as a one-to-one replacement for legacy HPS fixtures. In the first harvest cycle under the new lights, Clade9 produced 281 pounds per grow room, up from an average of 165 pounds per grow room prior to the Fluence partnership—a 70% increase in yield—while maintaining the high standard of quality for which Clade9 is known.
