1:10:31

📺 Subscribe & Watch on YouTube In this episode, the hosts dive deep into the intricacies of cannabis drying, sharing expert insights on best practices, airflow management, and the common pitfalls to avoid. They discuss the importance of controlling temperature, humidity, and airflow to ensure consistent, high-quality drying. Key topics include the pros and cons of different drying setups like racks vs. carts, how to avoid microclimates, and the importance of maintaining a controlled environment. The episode highlights the often-overlooked impact of drying on the final product and offers practical tips for improving the process, from designing the drying room to understanding moisture management. Drying Room Basics: The drying process is key to producing high-quality cannabis, and airflow is a critical factor. A drying room setup typically involves multiple people, with one or two focused on managing the drying process. Adjusting airflow is essential, especially during the "poofy" phase when the crop is wet and holding a lot of moisture. Over-drying can happen if fans are not positioned properly. Airflow should not be directed directly at the crop but rather across the room to avoid excessive drying. Fan and Airflow Management: There’s debate about whether it’s better to push or pull air through a drying room. The ideal airflow design often involves drawing air through the room, avoiding direct fan placement on the crop itself. The design of a high-end drying room (e.g., Conviron Chambers) uses perforated walls to evenly pull air through the crop, enhancing consistency. Carts vs. Racks: Racks, when compared to carts, offer better airflow as there is more space between tiers to circulate air effectively. The height of racks (12–18 inches between tiers) provides space for better airflow, especially around the thicker colas that retain more moisture. Carts, on the other hand, do not allow for as much airflow between plants, which can lead to uneven drying. Drying Room Design: Proper drying room design should ensure minimal disruption to the drying process, such as ensuring fans are well-positioned and avoiding microclimates created by improper airflow. Lights should be kept off and doors kept shut to maintain consistent conditions inside the drying room. Sealing the room properly (including door sweeps and thresholds) helps maintain a stable environment. Quality Control in Drying: A consistent, controlled drying environment is crucial for preserving the terpenes and quality of cannabis. Over-drying or improper drying can degrade the product and affect its final quality. Taking the time to measure and map out temperature and relative humidity (RH) across different areas of the room can help optimize the drying process. Curing and Final Product: Drying and curing are interconnected, with the drying phase playing a major role in the final product’s quality. The podcast hosts emphasize that drying should not be overlooked, as it has a big impact on the product's outcome. They mention potential future research through the Cannabis Research Coalition to help improve drying techniques and share more data on the subject. Closing Thoughts: The podcast encourages listeners to experiment and find what works best for their setup but also emphasizes the importance of following key drying principles for the best results. The hosts highlight that, while drying is a complex process with some subjective elements, good practices and attention to detail will lead to high-quality cannabis.

📺 Subscribe & Watch on YouTube The episode discusses efficient harvesting techniques and the importance of maintaining cleanliness and compliance in the cannabis cultivation process. Michael and Anders share tips on improving speed and quality during harvest, such as the use of RFID scanning technology for tracking and compliance. One of the key points is the importance of cleaning up the cultivation room before starting to harvest to avoid contaminating the buds with particulates from the substrate. They also talk about using air quality meters to monitor particulate matter in the air during post-harvest processing. Michael and Anders emphasize the role of the cultivation team in harvesting, noting that they are typically more connected to the crop and handle it with more care than post-harvest teams. The podcast also discusses the importance of keeping a steady workflow and ensuring no team members are left waiting for tools or supplies. The team shares their experiences with improving harvest efficiency over time and the benefits of avoiding harvests on Mondays and Fridays, recommending mid-week harvests for better staffing and monitoring of the drying process. Additionally, the conversation touches on labor productivity throughout the week and the benefits of keeping harvests within a single day to avoid complications during the drying process. Harvesting Efficiency : Emphasizes teamwork during harvest, including "tag team" efforts for smoother and quicker processes. Outlaw Technology’s RFID scanning tool is highlighted for improving speed, accuracy, and compliance by linking with a scale. RFID scanning enhances inventory management and helps streamline post-harvest accuracy, reducing errors from manual data entry. Cleanliness and Compliance : Stress on the importance of keeping the cultivation room free of particulates before harvesting to avoid contaminating the buds. Moving substrate or equipment during harvest can stir up particles that get on the flowers, affecting quality and compliance. Use of air quality meters to measure particulate matter in the air and validate room sanitation after harvest. Harvesting Team Composition : Cultivation team is ideal for harvesting because they are most connected to the crop and take more care, reducing damage to the plants. Post-harvest crews tend to be less connected to the plants and may work less gently, potentially affecting quality. Compliance person tracks wet weights and labels harvested plants in the drying room. Workflow and Steady Flow : Importance of a "water spider" role to move carts or racks between cultivation and drying rooms to prevent bottlenecks. Ensure no one is waiting on others for tools or equipment to keep the workflow steady. Example from a facility where initial harvest took an entire shift but improved to just a few hours after a few months. Optimal Harvesting Days : Avoid harvesting on Mondays and Fridays to ensure adequate staffing and monitoring. Harvesting on Tuesdays or Wednesdays is ideal to ensure quality monitoring during the critical 24-48 hours after harvest. Harvesting should ideally be completed in one day to maintain proper drying conditions. Labor Productivity : Mondays tend to have slower productivity due to the start of the week. Tuesdays and Wednesdays are optimal for productivity (good to great). Thursdays and Fridays tend to have reduced productivity, with Friday being especially prone to staff calling out.

027 - Optimal Tier Spacing For Multi-Tier Cultivation 30:42

38 weeks назад30:42

30:42

📺 Subscribe and watch on our Youtube channel Michael and Anders cover topics such as tier heights in flower rooms, considerations for tier spacing, pros and cons of different heights, ideal tier spacing, and considerations for veg and mother rooms. Overall, they emphasize the importance of considering factors like lighting efficiency, airflow efficiency, ceiling height, plant stretch, environmental control, substrate type and volume, handling processes, and the use of inner canopy lighting when determining tier spacing in different cultivation environments. They suggest that a tier spacing of around 5.5 to 6 feet is often ideal for flower rooms, while tier spacing in veg rooms can vary depending on factors such as cultivation strategy and plant growth duration. Tier Spacing in Multi-Tier Cultivation: Multi-tier cultivation or vertical farming involves spacing between grow trays and the bottom of grow lights, known as tier heights or tier spacings. Different tiers correspond to different stages of plant growth, such as mother, veg, and flower rooms. Flower rooms typically have two levels with equidistant tier spacings. New cultivators often worry about plant stretch and request tall tier spacings to prevent plants from growing into lights. Tall tier spacings (over 6.5 ft) can lead to inefficiencies in lighting and airflow, requiring lights to run at higher percentages and airflow systems to work harder. Ceiling height is a critical factor when determining tier spacings; maximizing rack height may not be ideal due to constraints like mechanical installations and air circulation. Shorter tier spacings (around 4 to 4.5 ft) can improve lighting uniformity and penetration but require precise cultivation schedules to avoid plant stretch and light burn. The ideal tier spacing for flower rooms is around 5.5 to 6 ft, providing a balance between efficient lighting, airflow, and environmental control. Considerations for Tier Spacing in Flower Rooms: Ceiling height should accommodate the total height of racks and leave room for environmental buffer space above the racks. Tall tier spacings may lead to inefficient lighting and airflow, requiring higher energy consumption. Shorter tier spacings can improve light uniformity and penetration but require careful management of plant height and cultivation schedules. Inner canopy lighting can enhance light distribution and increase yields, especially in tall plant environments. Considerations for Tier Spacing in Veg Rooms: Veg rooms typically have shorter tier spacings (around 3 to 3.5 ft) to accommodate smaller plants and shorter growth cycles. Advanced cultivators may opt for longer veg cycles (10 to 14 days), requiring taller tier spacings (up to 14 ft) to accommodate plant growth. Longer veg cycles may lead to stalling moments and reduced vigor if not managed properly. Considerations include plant density, growth medium, and cultivation strategy when determining tier spacings in veg rooms.

You know they have a facility that they either built you know, maybe even only three, four, five years ago that's kind of outdated or they made an acquisition, probably paid too much in a lot of cases, and now they're trying to kind of go back and make it profitable." - Mitch Galton "Understanding how your system fits in with the rest of the equipment is really what matters, because you can have the best light, you can have the best rack, but if the grower doesn't have the system or the understanding of how that affects the rest of their system to really utilize it, they're always going to blame the equipment and they're not going to get the results." - Mitch Galton "Speed to market, but it's once your operational speed to continue staying in market and in production is huge. If your HVAC goes out and you have a room sitting there for two weeks, it doesn't matter if it's the installer's fault, it doesn't matter if it's the manufacturer's fault. You just need to get HVAC up and running and being able to just make one phone call and, you know, be able to for the grower, move on with your day to day and just be sure that it's getting addressed, is huge." - Mitch Galton" Connect with Urban Gro Website: https://www.urban-gro.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/urbangro/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/urbangroinc/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/urban_gro LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/urban-gro/ Connect With Pipp Horticulture Pipp Horticulture Website - https://pipphorticulture.com/ Pipp Horticulture YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4nNnNCiwS5k5GX7BaXIrbA Pipp Horticulture - Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/pipphorticulture Pipp Horticulture Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/pipphorticulture/ Pipp Horticulture LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/18333737/ Pipp Horticulture Pinterest - https://www.pinterest.com/pipphorticulture/ This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podtrac - https://analytics.podtrac.com/privacy-policy-gdrp…
