does anyone have a solution to this new code other than hardwiring the fixtures The Special-Purpose Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (SPGFCI) code for horticulture involves NEC Section 410.184, which requires GFCI protection for horticultural lighting with flexible cords. When circuits exceed 150 volts to ground, or for other specific high-voltage applications where a standard Class A GFCI (6mA trip) is insufficient, an SPGFCI with a higher trip threshold (e.g., Class C, 20mA) is required by the National Electrical Code (NEC) to ensure personnel safety
 
If you don't want to use GFCIs or SPGFCIs, the only option is hardwire. Not that the rule requires this type of protection where any type of separable connection is used, not just a traditional cord and plug.
