As nationwide acceptance of cannabis grows, so too is the cannabis cultivation industry. With this growth comes more regulation and quality and cleanliness requirements as well. This article explains how a cannabis cleanroom for your grow environment can help you meet new regulation standards while improving the quality and yield of your grow. With competition becoming more fierce as more growing firms enter the industry, many are searching for a way to set their firm apart from this influx of new competitors.
One popular method has been to increase the purity of one’s cannabis, removing contaminants and offering consumers a more natural, higher-quality product. Through traditional means, attaining this higher-quality product may not be too feasible. But with the incorporation of cleanrooms, managing air quality and purity, among other advantageous things, becomes easier than ever before.
In this article, we’ll explore how cleanroom cultivation can increase your cannabis production levels and its quality, and set your grow operation apart within the increasingly competitive cannabis cultivation industry.
Control Your Air Purity
When growing cannabis outdoors, your plants are subject to many factors that might inhibit their growth or affect the quality of the end product. Growing outdoors necessitates the use of things like pesticides, and puts your plants at risk of damage from adverse weather and pests alike. Similarly, while it’s considered safer for the plants, growing your cannabis indoors still has risks involved, including sub-optimal humidity, pressure, and the ever-present risk of outside contaminants.
A cleanroom provides a solution to all of these risks. Through rigorous filtering of the air, cleanrooms can prevent airborne dust, germs, and other impurities, namely pollens, from reaching their interior and the plants growing therein. This drastically mitigates the risk that external contaminants pose to your plants, and ensures a cleaner, higher-quality product at the end of the growing cycle. Not to mention, it gives growers peace of mind unobtainable elsewhere.
To maintain a sufficiently clean growing space for your cannabis, it’s recommended that your cleanroom complies with the proper ISO rating, a system that grades cleanrooms based on how many contaminants are in any given volume of air within the cleanroom. Cannabis cultivators should aim for an ISO rating of between ISO 5 and ISO 8 for optimal growing conditions and product purity.
Create Your Ideal Growing Conditions
For medical-grade and high-quality cannabis, a grower needs more than just sterile air. For the best growth rate, purity, and concentration, an ideal balance of temperature and humidity, along with light levels and other factors, needs to be struck. In traditional growing rooms, striking this balance can be quite difficult and time-consuming, but cleanrooms can greatly simplify and perfect this process.
With the proper HVAC systems and atmosphere regulators, growers can tool each fine detail of their cannabis grow room to their liking. A cleanroom’s advanced, air-sterilizing HVAC unit can establish a very precise temperature within its confines while simultaneously cleaning the air it intakes. With a cannabis cleanroom, you can effortlessly set the ideal temperature for your specific strain or goals, and even maintain that temperature throughout the entire growing process.
Atmosphere regulators in modern cleanrooms, like HVAC units and HEPA filters, can also regulate humidity and static levels within the confines of the clean room. With cleanroom growing, the delicate process of carefully maintaining moisture and static levels around your plants can be automated and controlled highly efficiently, boosting yield quality and preventing headaches.
Enjoy All the Amenities of Your Current Growing Room
With a modular cleanroom configured for growing, you won’t have to give up what you appreciate in your current growing room. Despite their complicated nature on the surface, cleanrooms are quite configurable. Growing lights, for instance, can be quickly and seamlessly installed in your cleanroom’s ceiling, and specialized furniture can be purchased alongside the cleanroom itself.
