Many of the terpenes are known to be psychotropic, alter pharmacokinetics and potentially enhance the pharmacodynamic of the cannabinoids. The current understanding of chemovars, is arguably about terpene profiles rather than cannabinoid profiles, and these profiles offer a better understanding of indica vs. sativa differences than supposed speciation.

As growers try to lower the costs of creating biomass, they are faced with a decision on whether to take the step towards using all their space or just a single level of grow. Vertical growing using racking is now a proven method allowing indoor growers to produce the highest quality cannabis at the least cost per pound.

Coupled with sea of green methods, vertical growers create and achieve perpetual grow cycles of weeks in a single building. By utilizing the height of their rooms through racking techniques, power, water, grow materials and nutrients, air conditioning and space are all minimized without sacrificing anything. In fact, many advantages from implementing vertical growing have become apparent that are truly surprising.

Come learn about what others are already doing; growing the highest quality cannabis and leafy greens with the most efficient systems in the world from Smart Grow Technologies.
