Apperson said Dominion’s commitment to treat the water to a higher degree than the permit initially required is one reason for the change of heart, as well as the EPA’s recently changed rule that will require longer monitoring of closed coal ash impoundments. He said DEQ also has pledged to draft a “stringent and comprehensive” solid waste permit for Possum Point, required to seal the ash in place, and to include Maryland in the process to ensure that it is protective of Quantico Creek and the Potomac River.

In the meantime, she has built stable relationships with several of the most well-known medical cannabis dispensaries and worked by herself on her 360-acre plot of land. Her actual grow space is “five parcels – each one is on at least an acre,” she says, plus a sizeable hoop house and an indoor grow that spans about 2,500 square feet (the size of a large, three-car garage – the former use of the space).

Without the possibility of an underwritten IPO, the majority of cannabis businesses have gone public by means of a “reverse merger,” which is the acquisition of a public company by a private company. In a typical reverse merger transaction, the (acquirer) private company’s shareholders obtain a controlling interest in the (acquiree) public company in order to assume the private company’s business as the primary line of business for the combined public company.

Advances in growing containers and bench container systems, and production-tested tools from traditional horticulture cultivators provide opportunities for the cannabis industry to enhance productivity and profits.

Ilovitz says he’s seeing more requests for two-level fixed tables, particularly in vegetative areas. He’s also seeing new demand for multilevel roll-top tables and integrated trellis support. “With these systems, labor savings is very significant. There’s a lot of downward price pressure with a commodity crop. High-quality, low-cost production wins,” Ilovitz says. “Other growers will be at a competitive disadvantage.”

Olearaja Samson Amola, 93, is the oldest man in Deghele. He was held by his left hand and brought out by his wife who seats him on a chair in front of a liquid-crystal display television. “The major thing that is essential to the community now is water,” he said.

Dumping waste in a non-functional plant is the “grossest violation” of its order, says NGT. Before the Mela began, the plant already had 60,000 tonnes of waste to treat. Vijay Kiran Anand, district magistrate for Kumbh, says Hari Bhari is at fault as it was given funds to treat this existing waste. He denied the claim that the plant was getting more waste than its capacity.

Austin: I’ve learned to not trust everybody, and you can’t give people the benefit of the doubt in this industry. Not to really work with people unless they have good intentions. I’ve had a lot of bad partners that have definitely made me not want to work with anybody.

If supplemental lights need to be on for a significant number of hours each day, canopy temperature becomes the limiting factor in hot seasons, so you will need to make sure the cooling system design takes into consideration the lighting heat load and air flows. In winter months, supplemental light could be required for the entire 12 hours of flower light just to keep yields up.
