Prospiant Extends Webinar Series for Cannabis Growers With New Topics

CINCINNATI, Ohio — Prospiant, the agtech business unit of Gibraltar Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: ROCK), today announced the second part of its series of webinars designed to help cannabis growers learn strategies that will help them to build a thriving cannabis cultivation business.

This extended webinar series for growers will kick off on Thursday, November 10 at 2 p.m. EST with the webinar, “Cannabis Greenhouse Construction Process,” which will provide an overview of how to plan a successful outdoor cannabis greenhouse construction project and circumvent the typical complications that can arise. Seven new monthly webinars will follow it until June 2023.

Aiming to provide attendees with an in-depth understanding of the steps growers need to take to drive success of their small or large cannabis business, the webinar series will cover key factors that affect the growth cycle of a cannabis crop and provide critical information about creating the best growing environment for the crop — whether a cannabis greenhouse, hybrid space or indoor grow facility. Several topics will cover the additional equipment that is needed within each unique greenhouse operation in order to achieve success.

“Prospiant is offering additional webinars in our educational series, through mid-2023, in order to provide growers with the best resources and information to manage challenges cultivators face today and position them for resilience and success in their individual businesses,” said John Burgoon, solutions architect at Prospiant, who is facilitating the webinars. “Beyond building the greenhouse or warehouse to house the cannabis crop, there are other factors and equipment that need to be considered for a successful operation, and we will cover those areas.”

Here are the topics for cannabis growers:

8 Breeders and Seed Banks with Desirable Strains for 2024

Every cannabis grower hopes to have a plentiful harvest full of top-shelf buds. One of the best ways to meet that goal is by planting quality genetics . But with so many breeders out there, it may be difficult to determine the best cannabis seed banks for your needs. Cannabis seeds are technically legal across the United States since they contain less than 0.3 percent THC, according to the 2018 Farm Bill. In the last six years, dozens of online seed banks have popped up vying for market share. Offering feminized cannabis seeds and autoflowering seeds in many of the most popular strains , there are endless genetics from which to choose. The best cannabis seeds for an operator may vary depending on whether a grow is indoors or outdoors, their preferred growing medium, and the ultimate goal for the crop. For example, are you hoping to extract rosin or sell smokable buds? These questions must be considered prior to selecting marijuana strains and, by proxy, a source for those genetics....

Will This Be Our Year?

In 1919, a ban on alcohol exposed a cultural divide between urban and rural America and led to a spike in organized crime. Federal, state, and local governments struggled to adapt to the abrupt change in reality that came to be known as Prohibition. The task of enforcing new regulations initially fell to the Internal Revenue Service (thus the term “revenuers” for federal agents who hunted moonshiners) before being passed to the Department of Justice (DOJ). While enforcement was concentrated in rural areas and small towns—where some folks made decent livings by operating homemade stills—urban dwellers continued to enjoy alcohol courtesy of bootleggers and speakeasies. With the end of Prohibition in 1933, after the broken bottles, blood, and dust finally settled, an article in The United States News (now U.S. News & World Report) attempted to give the citizenry an idea of how the path forward might look. The open season for liquor-control laws is at hand. With repeal on December ...
