Hi there!
Dr. B here – you just caught me preparing for a trip. Picture this: warm temperatures, tropical climates, your favorite drink in hand. Sounds like paradise, right? Well it is, but the catch is that the trip is not for us – it’s for the mold propagating in your indoor growing facilities. That’s right – we’re talking about Mold Paradise, and it’s anything but the relaxing vacation you were hoping for.
As the Chief Scientist at ProKure, I love listening to and learning from growers. From small boutique growth facilities to large multi-state operators, I work with all of them to create optimal growing environments that protect their crops, yield confidence that mold pressure is always in check, and let them focus on their craft.
At ProKure, we’ve been helping growers for over a decade by contributing our science, expertise, and solutions to partner with growers of every stage and size across the industry. There’s a lot to learn about how your indoor growing facility can become a mold tourist destination, and we believe there are three key ways you can stop the Mold Paradise party from happening, before it starts:
Don’t be a tourist trap.
We all know the risks that mold growth can bring to our facilities – Gray Mold and Powdery Mildew can be detrimental to your plants – translating to lost profits – and should not be treated as a reactive step. Preventative products are a critical and economical way for growers to protect crops.
As the first company to monitor air quality as part of a cultivation IPM program, we understand that there is still so much to be learned about safely and efficiently growing cannabis. What we have already learned is that a one-size-fits-all approach to products – like the ones that come ready ‘off the shelf’ – poses risks to plants with improper care and/or chemicals. We believe that humanizing IPM and the importance of cleaning is key. At ProKure, growers are provided on-site support to safely grow in controlled, predictable environments to not only increase predictability of their crops, but to also share and showcase new industry knowledge, supporting them long-term.
Be a buzzkill.
It’s not exactly breaking news, but the very things that allow your plants to thrive also invite unwelcome tourists to do the same (yes, we’re talking about mold). And because your facility has the potential to grow lots of it, by the time you can see mold, it’s already too late.
This is why prevention is so critical – you have to stop that mold party before it happens! With so much evolution around new cultivation techniques and products, sharing agricultural expertise is more important than ever.
When it comes to control and peace of mind, ProKure makes avoiding mold outbreaks easy and understandable through innovative technology services, like designing custom cultivation SOPs, and taking a technology-first approach to protect the natural environment for your plants.
Don’t let a simple safeguard for growers’ most precious investment be an expensive afterthought.
Paradise found. Paradise destroyed.
Mold can land in your facility from places near and far, get comfortable, multiply, and party from sunup ’till sundown at the expense of your crops.
With a full suite of liquid and gas products, we focus on cleaning, so you can focus on growing and send those nasty little tourists (yes, still talking about mold here) on a one-way flight back to oblivion. And unlike other vapor companies, ProKure provides an unmatched level of research, knowledge, and service that sets growers of all stages and sizes up for success.
We understand in this young and surging industry companies are creating their own way of growing, and that’s why we’re here to share our IPM knowledge across the industry as we all continue to hone our craft. We want to be your tour guide through the cultivation world in cannabis, and with over a decade of helping cultivators across the country, we have the IPM experience and expertise to keep the mold at bay in your paradise.
Party on (or maybe not),
~Dr. B
