Cannabis PowerScore

The Cannabis PowerScore is the key to knowledge about the operational fitness of your grow environment. Find out how competitive your facility is by investing 15-20 minutes in a survey that’ll open your mind to the interactive effects of energy, temperature and humidity in each stage of cultivation – and how to maximize energy efficiency while optimizing plant yields, consistency and quality.

No matter your grow method, you can benchmark your energy performance. Go to the Cannabis PowerScore site.
