Cannabis could gain from more efficient use of their electricity.

Currently, most indoor and greenhouse grows will have the lights on during the day and off at night, exactly opposite of when energy is cheapest. Batteries (any type, whatever works) could allow for purchasing energy at cheap levels (at night) and using that energy during the day.

An alternative would be to hire a night crew and operate entirely when enrgy is cheapest.

I guess this presupposes a place where electricity rates are charged based on time of use rates, yeah?

What about installing light pipes to enable sunlight for work lighting during the day, so you can still have a day crew, and just turning the lights on at night

We've tried to use green-spectrum lights in the past, but if they are bright enough to work under, they are too bright for the plants when they need complete darkness. Otherwise a seeded crop may be produced due to environmental stress, lowering the value.
