October 1st, saw the end of Colorado’s so-called "70/30 Rule" which required that dispensaries grow 70 percent of what they sold, and only purchase up to 30% from commercial marijuana growers.
The unavoidable will soon be upon us; heating season! As unpleasant as it may be for all growers, winter is a fact of life and it must be considered long before the snow flies. Heating costs during the cold winter months are of prime concern for many greenhouse heating systems. Ensuring efficient operation and proper maintenance of greenhouse heating systems can significantly impact overall expenses and plant health. Therefore, it's essential for growers to carefully assess their heating needs and invest in suitable solutions to mitigate the challenges posed by winter. Here is a quick checklist to maximize the efficiency of your greenhouse heating system:
So, you have decided to build a new greenhouse range. Presumably, you have arrived at this decision based on market demands, corporate growth projections, assessed production needs, and financial capabilities.
The acquisition of a constructed facility usually represents a significant capital investment. It also usually represents a significant time investment of management. For this reason the construction process should be kept in mind at the early stages of planning and programming.
A greenhouse Lean-to is one of the most versatile additions to a gutter connect greenhouse range that any greenhouse manufacturer can offer you. Consider the different ways a Lean-to structure can add production space, improve productivity, and provide connectivity to your greenhouse range.
There are many reasons to make improvements in a commercial greenhouse, modernizing your greenhouse can reduce maintenance costs, or make productivity improvements, or improve the greenhouse environment for better growing, or maybe you want to add some extra growing space. Whatever the reason it is important to understand what the goal is before you talk to your greenhouse manufacturer.
In the numerous pitches that I have sat through, I have often heard VC’s draw a distinction between “Must Have” solutions and “Nice to Have” solutions. “Must Have” solutions address real world problems; Nice-To-Have solutions might make life easier, but nobody will miss them.
Just over a month ago GGS Structures Inc invested in a drone. We were interested in what the tiny yet powerful device could mean to the greenhouse industry.
Every day a handful of new articles pop up on news feeds with a new way that drone technology is being used. It's been interesting following this hot new trend. Just this week an amateur pilot of a drone helped locate and rescue an 82-year-old missing man helping end a three day search.
It's been an exciting show this year and to wrap up Cultivate 14 we have created a slideshow of the highlights and Top Ten Takeaways . We hope to see you all again next year!
GGS Structures Inc was happy to open our mail and find that we received a thank you from Rose City Kids for helping make their annual dinner a success.
Along with our help Rose City was able to raise a total of $21,000 dollars for their program!
