Cultivation is part art, part science, and part luck, and the right tools help in all three areas. These products, designed for novices and seasoned professionals alike, are generating buzz for their effectiveness, ease of use, basis in science, and relative novelty.
Pro-Mix Grow Bags – Premier Tech
Premier Tech’s Growers and Consumers division focuses on specialized growing media, inoculants, and grow bags designed to meet the needs of both large-scale commercial growers and craft cultivators. The company’s flagship product, Pro-Mix HP, is a high-performance growing medium that has been optimized for cannabis cultivation. The blend supports aeration and drainage, promoting robust root development and healthy plant growth. Pro-Mix CX, a premium coir-based substrate produced sustainably, is a top choice for both beginners and seasoned growers.
Cultivator Series – Advanced Nutrients
Advanced Nutrients’ Cultivator Series is a favorite among commercial growers because the three-part program is comprehensive and cost-effective.
Backed by decades of research in the lab and the field, the water soluble fertilizers address plants’ needs at every stage from seed to senescence for as little as 3.9 cents per gallon. Used together, Base, Grow, and Bloom provide a full macronutrients suite and a broad micronutrients suite within a formula that addresses the crucial phase-specific shift in plants’ demand for distinct macro-, secondary, and micronutrient ratios.
Production-Ready Seeds – Phylos Bioscience
Phylos’s F1 hybrid seeds, launching in October, offer clone-like uniformity, high yields, and consistent THC levels that reach 30 percent in some varieties.
Bred based on genetic markers instead of phenotype, the seeds produce plants with consistent height, structure, and flower quality, according to the company. During testing, growers reported vegetating the seeds for as much as one week less than clones, thereby shaving 25–30 percent off crop turnaround time and associated costs. Available in both autoflowering and photosensitive strains.
SafeVac® – Grove Bags
Introduced earlier this year, SafeVac film employs TerpLoc® technology to auto-cure flower while it’s in storage or transport.
Designed specifically for the unique physiology of cannabis, SafeVac protects precious buds by preventing the incursion of oxygen that can degrade quality. At the same time, the product maintains optimal humidity without the need for “burping.” The film’s unique barrier properties also allow for proper moisture distribution to prevent freezer burn while processing fresh-frozen flower. Rolls are compatible with standard vacuum-sealing machines.
