Honorable mention: shipping container farms. Although these may be mobilized on the surface, they may as well be underground due to the closed roof of most shipping containers. The solar-powered hydroponicsLA-based Local Roots can grow the same amount of vegetables, at cost parity, with 99 percent less water than traditional farming.

The Jones Food Company instigated a project to design, build and operate a commercial, high-care, intensive plant production unit. The facility is now up and running, having produced its first harvest of culinary herbs and leafy greens during the Autumn of 2018.

Look at what happened with the legal status of hemp after the Farm Bill became law on Dec. 20, 2018. Although the bill removed hemp from the Controlled Substances Act’s Schedule I prohibitions (which include forbidding clinical research and the ability for doctors to formally prescribe the drug to patients), the law provided no exception to the regulation of hemp-derived chemical compounds by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). And so, on the day that the Farm Bill became law, the FDA restated its position that under the agency’s longstanding rules, hemp-derived CBD cannot be sold in the U.S. as a food or supplement, or without appropriate clinical investigations as a drug. (Because CBD is listed as an active ingredient in the FDA-approved drug Epidiolex, it is subject to that clinical trial mandate. The FDA does not allow active drug ingredients to be sold separately from their pharmaceutical formulation, regardless of where the compound stands in the eyes of the U.S. Department of Justice.)

It’s also a good idea to keep a pH meter or test kit on hand so you can check the pH level of your water, nutrient solution, or soil. Cannabis prefers a pH between 6 and 7 in soil, and between 5.5 and 6.5 in hydroponic media. Letting the pH get out of this range can lead to nutrient lockout, meaning your plants are unable to absorb the nutrients they need, so be sure to test your water and soil regularly and make sure the nutrient mix you are feeding your plants falls within the desired range.

Houseplants are having a moment and for good reason. They not only can help purify the air and boost your mood, but also provide effortless decor. In addition to the natural beauty of sprightly leaves and earthy hues, the planters housing the greenery provide another inspiring decorative element.

Summary Vertical farming is the practice of producing food in vertically stacked layers, vertically inclined surfaces and/or integrated in other structures. The modern idea of vertical farming uses controlled-environment agriculture (CEA) technology, where all environmental factors can be controlled. These facilities utilize artificial control of light, environmental control (humidity, temperature, gases) and fertigation. Some vertical farms use techniques similar to greenhouses, where natural sunlight can be augmented with artificial lighting and metal reflectors.

Most manufacturers work with Osram or Philips LEDs. We have our own diodes, and our lamps have a longer life. We have also introduced a consultation service, i.e. we talk about how to grow plants with our lamps. A plant is a living organism and even a positive change can turn out to be either good or bad. In addition to the new light source, you also need to know what temperature amplitude to set, how much CO2 to release, how to fertilize, what humidity should be used, how to ventilate. The cherry on the cake is our latest lamp. It can be used independently for different crops, because its structure has different spectrums, which can be controlled in real time by the app.

(Editor’s note: For more insight into cultivators’ lighting choices, see Cannabis Business Times’ “State of the Cannabis Lighting Market” report, published in the November 2018 issue.)

Behnke’s began as a simple roadside plant stand run by two German emigres, Albert and Rose Behnke, in the 1930s, when the D.C. suburbs were only just getting started. Workers in an expanding federal government were moving into their new neighborhoods of red-brick Cape Cods. Behnke’s thrived by furnishing all those new yards. By the time some of the founders’ children began to take the reins, Behnke’s was so popular that it employed traffic cops to direct weekend customers in and out of the 12-acre site off Route 1. At its height, the enterprise included large off-site plant production greenhouses, first in Largo and later in Lothian, Md.

“With unconditional love, encouragement and the support of my beloved wife and two sons, relatives and friends, I have come to terms with life as a paraplegic,” he said.
