Your grow is probably paying brand-name prices for generic results.

One hour with a cultivator who ran a hydroponic supply store for 16 years and runs a 20,000 sq ft indoor facility today. We go through your inputs, IPM, energy, labor and SOPs, and you leave knowing where the money is leaking.

Who you'll be talking to

I'm Todd Schwarz. I've been in cannabis cultivation for 30 years. From 2006 to 2022 I owned Alternative Horticultural Supply in Pasadena, where I built feeding programs for growers across the country, identified pests and pathogens for them, and tested nearly every product on the market.

Today I manage a 20,000 sq ft indoor facility in Chatsworth, harvesting weekly under full compliance, and I wrote its SOPs. I also run a 15-acre avocado farm and a franchise restaurant, so I look at a grow the way an owner does: what does it cost, and what does it return.

A single product swap can pay for the call many times over.
