Impressively High Yields: Inside Grodan’s Latest Precision Irrigation Research | Ep 26
Manage episode 522175863 series 3390663
In this special episode, we unpack one of Grodan’s most significant cannabis research milestones to date. Crop Specialist Chad Rigby returns to break down the findings behind our new whitepaper, Impressively high yields are reality for cannabis growers, highlighting how precision irrigation, EC management, and autoflower F1 hybrid seeds contributed to annual dry flower yields averaging 9.7 kg/m² — with multiple treatment groups surpassing 10 kg/m².
Together, Chad and host Riley Jones walk through the trial design, why lower EC outperformed higher EC, how staged shot sizes shaped generative steering, and what the GroSens Suite revealed about real-time plant behavior. They also explore how this research supports more consistent, repeatable outcomes for commercial growers and what it signals for the future of professional cannabis cultivation.
