Leading Plant Nutrient Manufacturer Hydroponic Research Illuminates Production With Austrian LED Lighting Giant SANLight

[PRESS RELEASE] – SAN DIEGO, Oct. 31, 2025 — Hydroponic Research Inc., the industry leader in manufacturing powder-based plant nutrients, has partnered with Austrian LED lighting leader  SANLight GmbH (SANLight Americas LLC in the U.S.) to illuminate production, developing proprietary nutrient blends under SANLight-powered advanced lighting technology stateside.

Producing locally in San Diego, Hydroponic Research strives to simplify cannabis growing operations large and small, refining their products from VBX and VEG + BLOOM to SHINE Bloom Additive using proprietary micronizing and homogenizing equipment. Each batch is stress tested for maximum consistency and purity, ensuring that prime ingredients are immediately bioavailable for plant uptake.

Synergy between Hydroponic Research and SANLight began in the UK a few years back, where Hydroponic Research products are well known. SANLight helped push and distribute the nutrient producer’s products in the EU, where it leads in the cannabis space. Hydroponic Research, in turn, helped introduce SANLight to U.S. customers in the cannabis cultivation space.

“We are excited about our partnership with SANLight, which is based on the integrity of the products we manufacture. We both target cannabis cultivation facilities with the aim to level up their operations in regards to both efficiency and quality of growth,” Hydroponic Research CEO Chris LaRose said.

SANLight founder Martin Anker said, “SANlight is continuously looking for interesting partnerships and collaboration partners who value-add in research or help us in developing new markets. On the other hand, we are looking for outstanding products which are not available in Europe’s cannabis market.”

“Both companies share our knowledge with each other, and I believe partnerships like this one with Hydroponic Research are important to strengthen market positioning for both brands,” Anker said.

SANLight and Hydroponic Research continue to target a global market, merging the best of what each has to offer in a partnership that continues to deepen, leading with sound research and integrity, taking an innovation-first approach.
