After years of planning and dreaming, our vision is beginning to take form. Anthony has been working hard with his crew to build a customized cannabis cultivation facility. No detail has been left untouched.
He custom built a light rack that is able to move within a ten-foot range at a touch of a button. This allows the ability to maintain the proper distance between the lights and the plants at all phases of growth. We believe in letting our plants reach maturity before blooming them. Therefore, it is extremely important to have the ability to adjust our light rack so that the lights are not too close to our full grown plants.
After programming the lights to turn on and off in a staggered formation, recreating a similar effect to the sun rising and setting, we illuminated the room for the first time! It was an overly exciting moment for The Mountain Orchid family to see years of labor literally light up!
We will be growing with doubled ended 1000 W HPS bulbs. Double-ended HPS bulbs are more stable than traditional, single-ended HPS bulbs. Not only do double-ended HPS bulbs emit more UV and IR light than traditional bulbs, they also have a 10 percent increase in light intensity.
Anthony constructed the facility to have very high ceilings in order to better control the garden’s atmosphere. Double ended HPS bulbs conduct a good amount of heat. The high ceiling allows space for the heat to rise, and the top-of-the-line ventilation system completely exchanges the air in the room within minutes. The high ceilings along with the brisk mountain air, also eliminate the need for air conditioners in the facility. Mother Nature cools our garden down for us.
We are beyond excited to cultivate cannabis in this amazing facility! Anthony, thanks for your amazing vision and hard work to create the perfect grow space!
