The Grove is a 44,000 square foot medical marijuana facility located in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The new cutting-edge, eco-friendly indoor grow and production facility features over 600 Heliospectra LX601C LEDs, illuminating four double-tiered, vertical flowering rooms and a triple-tiered, vertical vegetative room. Heliospectra helped the Grove set up lighting conditions to mimic the natural cycles of day and night during harvest season, thereby maximizing growth and minimizing energy consumption.
