4. UNDERSTAND YOUR UTILITIES
This is less about using less energy and more about when and how to use it. Keep in mind, however, it will still have a direct impact on your bottom line. Schedules provide the potential to substantially reduce your monthly utility bill. 5. FOCUS ON YIELDS (ALWAYS!)
The energy efficiency of individual cultivators should be judged not just by what they consume, but how much they produce in exchange for that consumption. Cultivators should do everything possible to maximize yields and replicate those processes in each new facility. 6. DON’T FEAR CHANGE
“That’s the way we’ve always done it” is the mantra of too many members of our industry. This way of thinking will ultimately lead to those cultivators falling behind. Utilization of a test room gives cultivators the opportunity to experiment with climate, methodologies, and new technologies without risking a production crop. |
