DESIGNING A GREENHOUSE
IRRIGATION SYSTEM
The biggest challenge to designing and installing an effective irrigation system in a cannabis greenhouse is
settling on a plan.
Growers need more than simply a " basic idea " before they begin the design process, said Kurt Becker,
executive vice president at Dramm Corp., a commercial irrigation supplier in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. Even
deciding to add 20% more plants changes everything in a drip irrigation system and can be the difference
between a functioning system and one that doesn't irrigate and fertigate uniformly or well.
Cannabis greenhouse operators often use overhead boom irrigation for propagation and young seedlings,
but the industry standard in cannabis is drip irrigation at the plant base for maturing plants. Drip irrigation
helps avoid moist conditions that perpetuate mold and disease as the plants start to flower. It also
conserves water and reduces fertilizer needs.
" We encourage growers as they design (to) really think about how they plan to crop the facility early on in the
process, really get that nailed down, " Becker said.
Every time a grower changes their plan more money must be spent on engineering and finding the right
parts. Typically, that causes a project delay, Becker said. Especially since the COVID-19 pandemic began,
supply chain shortages have made it difficult to keep different sizes of PVC in stock. A changed crop plan can
equal more time waiting on supplies.
" Nobody who is putting a cannabis facility together wants delays, " Becker said. " Figure out what you're doing
up front; don't change the design midway through. "
