The advisory team

Real operators, on call

Seven advisors with decades of commercial cultivation between them. They run system assessments and conversions, simplify nutrient and irrigation programs, and help test the brands we put our own name on.

Because we've lived it, built it, and run it ourselves. Our consultants are seasoned commercial cultivators who have built, scaled, and run grows across multiple markets.

We work directly with your team through ongoing phone support and onsite consultations, with data-backed strategies and proven best practices. We support you through the first cycles to stabilize consistency and hit target yields, then keep optimizing.

Where the team makes the difference

Advisory is included with a commercial account. Bring a problem from any stage and the team works it with you, room by room.

  1. 01

    Nutrient programs

    Simplify the feed schedule, dial EC and pH targets to your media and water, and remove the variables that cause mystery batch-to-batch swings.

  2. 02

    Room and environment

    Climate and irrigation steering, VPD and airflow, and the environmental control that keeps a flower room steady from clone to harvest.

  3. 03

    Input selection

    Choose lighting, media, and nutrients on the merits for your rooms. We recommend our owned brands when they genuinely fit, and say when they do not.

  4. 04

    System conversions

    Move a facility from one system to another with an assessment first, a plan that protects the running crop, and support through the changeover.

  5. 05

    SOPs

    Write the standard operating procedures that make a good result repeatable, so quality and output hold as the team and the canopy grow.
