Veggies don’t take near the light

Cannabis needs 2x to 3x the light that most other plants need. The only plants that exist that need as much light as cannabis are palm trees, olive trees, and some species of cacti.

Relative DLI Requirement for Various Plants

This morning we had a grower with a lighting problem and it inspired me to go searching for relative DLI requirements. I had known, for instance, that the DLI peak for basil is 15, while cannabis peaks at ~45 or 50. It is similar for tomatoes and peppers, which both have DLI peaks at 30. A DLI of 30 is ~33% less than that required by cannabis. The only plants that even approach the intensity that cannabis requires are olive trees, palm trees, and some species of cacti. Here’s the full list:
