Episode 69 How A Facility Increased Yields By Over 50% In 2 Years Using Science

This podcast is about how a commercial cannabis facility was able to dramatically increase their yields by making some small changes in operations that allowed them to incorporate science and the scientific method which was key in making decisions that both reduced labor costs and raised yields by more than 50%.

In this podcast, Tad talks with Dr. Ben Higgins. Ben works with both Gold Leaf Gardens and KIS Organics and is also part of their consulting group. He is the research scientist for Gold Leaf and with KIS Organics he handles the custom Blumat designs for growers as well as assisting with our product development and research.

Ben earned his Ph.D. in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from the University of California, Santa Cruz where he studied functional ecology, organismal morphometrics, and physiology. He lives in Olympia, WA with his wife and two daughters, and loves to explore the natural beauty of the area with them as often as possible.
