At Grodan, innovation drives everything we do, and our latest research with Innexo challenges the norms of cannabis cultivation. By eliminating the vegetative phase, our joint trial has unearthed a game-changing approach that promises to revolutionize the way cannabis is grown.
Read the full whitepaper here to uncover how eliminating the vegetative phase is driving higher yields, cost savings, and better flower quality in cannabis cultivation.
The problem: inefficiencies in traditional cultivation
The vegetative phase has long been considered a standard part of the cannabis crop cycle, but it comes with challenges:
- Increased energy costs for lighting and HVAC.
- Labor-intensive pruning, trimming, and maintenance.
- A longer cycle that delays yields and increases pest risks.
These inefficiencies add up, limiting growers’ profitability and scalability. But what if we could skip the vegetative phase entirely?
The breakthrough: game-changing results
Our trial with Innexo, combined with data from their previous trials, demonstrates how eliminating the vegetative phase can deliver:
- Up to 6 crop cycles per year, increasing annualized yield by 12%.
- 40% savings on energy costs by reducing light and HVAC requirements.
- 37% reduction in labor with less plant maintenance and post-harvest work.
- Higher quality flowers, with a 75% increase in Grade A buds.
By combining shorter cycles with precise irrigation and Grodan’s steerable stone wool media, growers can achieve results that redefine efficiency and profitability.
