Montana Specifics

How much flowering canopy can I grow in Montana?


The cultivator must acquire a state issued Marijuana Providers license and choose the canopy size based on the different tiers available. Tiers range from 250 sqft to 20,000 sqft. One stipulation is that a certain amount of canopy size be equipped for cultivation (roughly 77%). So, if you choose a tier 5 canopy which allows 10,000 sqft of production, 7750 sqft must be equipped for production. Another stipulation is that a license may only increase on tier at a time.

Can I use artificial lighting with my medical growing license?


Yes, artificial lighting can be used in both vegetative and flowering stages of growth. If growing in greenhouses, a light deprivation system should be implemented to maintain a "dark sky" at night.

Can I grow year round in Montana?


Montana is known for its very cold and dry winters so if you're growing indoor, the answer is yes. If you're growing in greenhouses the answer is still yes but you'll need an insulated greenhouse such as our Internal roll to peak light deprivation kit, to retain heat and lower operating costs.

Fighting mold and mildew in your greenhouses


Montana has a relatively dry growing season, mold and mildew can easily be controlled with proper air flow and IPM measures.

Do I need an evaporative cooling system aka wet wall in Montana?


Summers in Montana are warm but rarely see temperatures over the mid 90's. Therefore a evaporative cooling system can be used, but it is not necessary.
