grow KEEPING YOU R INDOOR G A R D EN by Stephen Keen SUSTAINABLE With 29 states allowing some level of legal marijuana access, millions of Americans are now in a position to grow their own. Of course, indoor gardens require a significant amount of resources. Surna’s Stephen Keen offers some tips on how to reduce operational costs and your environmental footprint at the same time. T his is an exciting time for cannabis. An estimated 84 million Americans were affected by new cannabis legislation on November 8. This is significant for the industry, marking a turning point in our country’s relationship with the plant. However, as more and more states come on board, it is inevitable that cultivation operations will begin multiplying at incredible rates. It is important that this innovative industry approach these new opportunities responsibly and in a way that shows the world that we understand and respect the resource constraints we are facing. The good news is that, because the industry is so young, we have the chance to set standards on how we will utilize resources. In the spirit of getting things off the ground in an environmentally responsible way, I’ve put together some ideas on energy and resource saving options for running a successful indoor garden. HYDRONIC COOLING Considering a hydronic cooling option for your indoor garden is a no-brainer for cultivation because it is usually about 15 to 20 per cent more efficient than other, more traditional HVAC options. Hydronic cooling works by circulating a chilled water-glycol mixture through a series of pipes to individual air handlers, where cool air is produced. Using water to remove heat is important because water has 20 times the heat absorption rate and four times the heat capacity of air. This means that water can hold four times as much heat as air and can absorb it 20 times faster, allowing a chiller to remove the same amount of heat with much less energy. 32 grow. heal. learn. enjoy. myhydrolife.com
REMO CHEMO “URBAN REMO'S FAVOURITE STRAIN, NOW ACCESSIBLE TO ALL” Remo Chemo is certainly one of our most special strains. She comes from our first collaboration with the legendary Canadian cannabis grower Remo, also known as Urban Remo. Besides, her extremely high THC levels (24 %) not only make her a must for cannabis gourmets with a liking for mind-blowing genetics but they also confer a myriad of therapeutic properties on her. w w w . d i n a f e m . o r g Get your seeds at: CHOICE SEEDBANK / HERBIES / ORIGINAL SENSIBLE SEEDS / SEEDSMAN
