TRANSCRIPT
NEVADA’S FIRST MEDICAL MARIJUANA DISPENSARYBased in Sparks, Nevada (Reno metropolitan area), Silver State Relief is Northern Nevada’s premier distributor of medical
marijuana and marijuana products. The company, which opened in late July 2015, provides a broad range of high quality,
fairly priced products to meet patients’ needs.
The Silver State Relief grow facility is a
massive warehouse that required extensive
retrofitting to support a clean and safe envi-
ronment for employees and plants. Based on
the advice of a Colorado-based cannabis con-
sultancy, the warehouse was kitted out with
climate control, nutrient dosing and irrigation
systems as well as HPS light fixtures.
QUESTIONING CONVENTIONIt wasn’t long before Silver State Relief growers and managers reconsidered the conventional choice of HPS lights.
These fixtures, a historical staple of cannabis grow facilities, emit extraordinary waste heat, hiking up electrical bills.
Additionally, the lights did not support the growers’ goal of cultivating a broad range of strains, which require varied light
profiles to realize their harvest potential.

MAKING THE SWITCHUpon learning of the unique ability of LumiGrow LED
lights to trigger desired crop characteristics with spectrum
control, the Silver State Relief team was intrigued. The Lu-
miGrow solution’s ability to reduce light- and heat-related
energy costs by 70% sealed the deal. “Electricity is one
of the biggest cost centers of a commercial grow opera-
tion. We’re thrilled to reduce costs with the LumiGrow
solution,” said Silver State Relief General Manager Aron
Swan.
The LumiGrow team specified a light plan based on the
Silver State Relief growing team’s micromole targets and
crop objectives. Light intensity is adjustable to accommo-
date the varied light appetites of different strains and crop
cycle stages.
“We’re committed to providing the best products to our
patients at fair prices. By delivering superb growth with
lower operating costs, LumiGrow LED lights are central to
our strategy,” added Swan.
OPTIMIZING CROP PERFORMANCESilver State Relief employs a team of experts that includes
two PhDs, Daniel Hopper and Matt Wheatley, as co-
directors of grow operations. The two grower-scientists
are particularly excited about the opportunity presented
by LumiGrow LED lights to customize crops with light
rather than chemicals or GMOs.
Hopper and Wheatley report that LumiGrow LED lights
shape plants with strong uniformity and trichome forma-
tion, resulting in a salable, top-shelf harvest from top to
bottom of the plant canopy.
In the near future, Hopper, who previously studied wine-
making, will use LumiGrow spectrum control to custom-
ize terpenes, the pungent oils that give cannabis strains
their distinctive flavors. “We are excited about the THC
levels we’re achieving and very curious to see how
LumiGrow LED lights affect CBD levels in our high CBD
producers. Next we’ll apply hard science techniques to
see what else we can accomplish with cannabis.” He
quipped, “Now we can grow it legally in the state. That
definitely helps.”
Our plants are loving all of this light.- Dr. Daniel Hopper
