"It has been more than a year since our DutchGreenhouse came into use in Maryland. Before the greenhouse construction started, DutchGreenhouses had already outfitted the adjacent indoor cannabis facility. Both of them are now up and running, and the workflows are seamlessly integrated," says Timo Raus of Dutch Greenhouses about their project for District Cannabis.
Project background
After successfully outfitting the indoor facility with cannabis cultivation systems, high-tech fertigation units, and grow lights, it was time for a scale-up. Timo explains that using natural sunlight and managing irrigation precisely was the business case for the Maryland greenhouse.
The DC Glasshouse is a hybrid grow facility that uses artificial intelligence to help make critical decisions within the grow environment. It is thus not your typical greenhouse: the fully enclosed system maintains the environment of a traditional indoor grow.
"The operation is fully suited with moveable containers, which ensure rapid replanting and an excellent workflow at harvest stations and replanting stages, optimizing labor activities and allowing for optimum crop maintenance. From the workflow design to the last PAR sensors, DutchGreenhouses has provided all ingredients for the production of superior quality cannabis," the company says.
"Looking back, expanding the indoor facility with the glass greenhouse has been a success for District Cannabis," Timo says. "The energy-bill has decreased, and cultivation results both in yields and taste have increased. All cost savings resulting from this project will be reflected by our customers in a lower sales price of the products. A double win!"
