Why It’s Important to Have High Standards in Greenhouse Cleanliness

As a commercial cannabis grower, it’s important to make sure your cultivation operation functions at its optimal levels at all times. Having the appropriate commercial greenhouse or indoor grow room design and equipment is critical, as is keeping your operation clean and adequately maintained. The health of your plants is dependent on your ability to keep equipment working and the area clean.

In a recent blog post, the team at GrowLink looked at greenhouse cleanliness and ways to keep your space well maintained, including:

• Routine Equipment Maintenance: Without proper repairs, the failure of sensors, pumps, controllers, irrigation, lighting, shades, HVAC, fertigation, and other equipment could cost you an entire harvest, a high price to pay for an avoidable error.
• Deep Clean Regularly: While greenhouses and indoor grow rooms require scheduled maintenance for equipment, you’ll need to do a deep clean at least once a year. Recycle or dispose of any used disposable trays and pots, and if you experienced any disease or pest infestations, you might want to dispose of the unused ones.
• Clean Bulb and Fixtures: Dust can collect on bulbs and fixtures that hang above your plants. Cleaning your lighting often will prevent dust from falling on vulnerable plants.
