Lighting Spectrum
Lighting spectrum refers to the wavelengths of light delivered during cannabis cultivation, ranging from ultraviolet (UV) through visible (blue, red, far-red) to infrared. Different spectrum compositions influence photosynthetic efficiency, cannabinoid expression, and plant structure development. Breeders and cultivators document how specific wavelength combinations affect phenotypic traits, terpene profiles, and flowering timing across genetic lines. Modern cultivation research increasingly separates environmental factors—including spectrum—from genetic expression when evaluating strain characteristics. Understanding spectrum interactions helps distinguish heritable traits from environment-dependent variation in breeding programs.

Breeders use controlled spectrum environments to standardize phenotype evaluation and identify genetically stable traits independent of lighting conditions. Consistent spectrum protocols across test environments improve accuracy when selecting parent plants and documenting heritable characteristics for seed production.
