Source: HortiDaily Dutch greenhouse operators are dealing with a costly problem that often stays hidden until harvest. LED drivers can run below rated output for days without triggering alarms, creating light deficits that show up later as weaker fruit set, delayed development, and uneven crop performance. In the example described
