Hello from Colorful Colorado and one of the progressive (parts at least) medical marijuana forerunners in the US.
I grew up in the 60's and the interest, potency and variety of marijuana and designer strains has certainly evolved since then. My interest is multi. My wife and I have an environmental air, water and solar company. As it turns out, all of the preceeding are needed by my clients. I am working with growers with serious water issues, growers trying to use their property for solar generation, and workers getting harrassed because of the marijuana odor that sticks with them when they leave the property. Also, the air quality issues with-in the grow environment. Dehumidifiers getting clogged, air quality for the workers with-in the buildings, and the fear of foreign airborn particles polluting the grow environment.
I hope to engage the forums for solutions to questions such as: Can pond water be used, after R.O treatment, for the grow facility, and should they be concerned about bacteria naturally occuring in the pond/spring water, if other parameters are met? Are ozone generation and/or UV sterilization needed? Are potential water borne pathogens passed through to the plant and potentially to the client? We have an air filter for cars, trucks and vans that can remove a myriad of outgasses, exhaust, smoke, pet odors, and marijuana resin and smoke odor. These treated media can also possibly have great effect on odors eminating from grow facilities. Is there a market for such an after market product? Finally, can solar photovoltaic be incorporated to offset the tremendous electrical usage of grow facilities? Are grow facilities aware of the tax credits and depreciation available to their business should they install solar panels?
I hope to investigate and use the experience of the members to answer these questions, yet not violate the intent of the forums. Any direction as to what strings I should pay attention to will be much appreciated. Thanks.
