30MHz brings full-cycle climate tracking to cannabis cultivation

Published

on

Most greenhouse growers know the feeling: something has gone wrong somewhere, but by the time the last crop appears, it’s too late to know where. When a crop moves from a reproductive to a production compartment, each stage has its own climate goals and its own data. Until now, no single tool tied all of this together in a single view.

30MHz has built that tool. The Crop Strategy allows growers to set weekly climate targets for each crop and compartment, covering parameters such as total PAR and temperature bandwidth, before the start of the season. As the crop moves through each production phase, the dashboard monitors whether reality is following the plan. When it is not, an alert is issued in time for action.

Early adopters found deviations at the compartment level within days of going live. In one case, a grower caught a temperature drift that would have reduced final yield in the second week and corrected it the same week, something that would have gone unnoticed until harvest.

“You always knew something wasn’t right, but you couldn’t pinpoint it,” says Lars van der Lely, Customer Success Manager at 30MHz. “Now you see exactly which compartment, which week and what to do.”

The module includes weekly climate targets for each crop and compartment, real-time monitoring at multiple production stages, real alerts when deviations from targets, side-by-side comparison of two crops in different zones or seasons, inter-annual benchmarking in a single view and direct integration of sensor data to keep strategy and measurements in sync.

The tool has also been used in the cultivation of cannabis. “The parameters that matter most are temperature, including canopy and root zone differentials, RH and VPD, light intensity and DLI, and substrate moisture and EC, especially during transplanting,” explained the 30MHz team. “Propagation requires high RH, often 80 to 90 percent, to compensate for underdeveloped root systems, while flowering requires a much lower VPD to encourage transpiration and trichome development. What makes us unique is that all of our tools work for all types of crops: cannabis, flowers, and edibles.”

In terms of compliance, all sensor data is time-stamped, stored and retrievable. Custom dashboards and exports consolidate historical climate data for each location and zone, eliminating the manual work of extracting and combining records from multiple sources. The Crop Strategy adds a layer of structured monitoring of growing cycles on top of that. “Our honest response is that 30MHz already has the data infrastructure upon which a compliance workflow can be built,” says the 30MHz team. “Currently we don’t have GMP-style batch records or audit reports, but for a serious prospect of medical cannabis in the EU, this could be a co-development conversation, or a collaboration angle with a QMS or compliance software provider.”

Cultivation Strategy is also the data base for the next 30MHz build. Once a plant’s plan is structured and linked to actual sensor results, the platform can automatically generate personalized recommendations. The RTR module already does this for energy use, and is estimated to save producers 10 to 15 percent annually. Cultivation Strategy brings this same intelligence to the entire production journey.

Columbia hemp business Burning Acre to close and move to North Carolina over new Tennessee rules

Published

By











Burning Acre, a Columbia, Tennessee-based hemp company, says it will close its retail store and move operations to North Carolina ahead of new state regulations that take effect July 1, according to WSMV.

The business says its last day to open in Columbia will be June 30, the same day the Tennessee Department of Agriculture licenses for hemp-derived cannabinoids expire. As of July 1, businesses that continue to operate in the state will be required to be licensed under a new regulatory framework led by the Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission.

Burning Acre says the changes have forced it to abandon plans for a new sandwich shop and bakery and close its Tennessee retail operations and relocate to Murphy, North Carolina. “I won’t sugarcoat it, it’s a very hard video for me and a message I should never have written,” the business wrote.

The business puts the annual cost of manufacturing, distribution and running the retail store at about $750. Under the new rules, he says, those costs would rise by tens of thousands of dollars, citing new licensing fees, a required $25,000 annual bond and increased testing fees.

The law, which took effect in July, changes the regulation of hemp-derived cannabinoid businesses from the Department of Agriculture to the ABC. The Department of Agriculture stopped issuing licenses at the end of 2025, and the licenses issued by the TDA will remain valid until June 30, 2026.

“Columbia, we absolutely love being a part of this community,” said Burning Acre. “We are truly heartbroken to have to say goodbye to this location.”

North Carolina Lawmakers Advance Bill To Set A Minimum Age Limit For Hemp And Kratom Products

“Many other details about cannabis have been debated and will continue to be debated.”

By Christine Zhu, NC Newsline

Lawmakers in North Carolina are considering banning people under 21 from buying or possessing certain hemp-derived consumables, including combustible hemp flower, hemp cigarettes, gummies and drinks, or items that include the drug kratom.

The House Agriculture and Environment Committee approved a rewrite of Senate Bill 59 on Wednesday. This is the latest attempt by state legislators after years of proposals to regulate the sale of hemp products that didn’t work out in the end.

This measure would prohibit companies from selling such products to under-21s. If the seller has “reasonable grounds” to believe that the buyer is under the age of 21, the seller must verify the buyer’s ID.

Rep. Jimmy Dixon (R-Duplin), who introduced the bill, said he was motivated to bring public attention to issues surrounding cannabis. He said there was a 14-year-old boy in his neighborhood who had an emergency after buying a hemp-derived product.

“There are a lot of other details about cannabis that have been debated and will continue to be debated, but ladies and gentlemen, to make sure we have the good sense to be agents of these kinds of issues, that’s the lowest hanging fruit,” he said.

Violators would face a Class 2 felony, as well as a fine of $500 for a first offense, $1,000 for a second offense and $1,500 for subsequent offenses.

asked Rep. Pricey Harrison (D-Guilford). of the bill language resulted in potential changes to hemp-derived products. It is common for manufacturers of synthetic recreational drugs to make changes to the chemical composition of their products to avoid legal bans or restrictions.

“I assume the definition as written is broad enough to capture any future manipulation of molecules,” he said. Dixon nodded.

Legislators also voted in favor correction To add kratom products to the under-21 ban.

Rep. Jeffrey McNeely (R-Iredell), who proposed the amendment, said it was necessary to add those elements to the bill.

“I’ve been working on this for quite some time, trying to get these bills passed,” McNeely said. “We definitely have a problem. So I’m hoping we can keep posting this and we’ll get something done before we get out of the short session here.”

Both the amendment and the legislation passed unanimously without debate.

The bill moves next to the House Rules Committee. Other amendments will be heard when they appear on the House floor, which could be as soon as next week.

Well, it’s not 2026 photos, but with around 600 photos, we definitely did our best. For the past two days, the Netherlands has been the place to be for the global greenhouse industry. From Flower Trials for the horticulture sector, company visits to growers and technical suppliers, as well as dinners, get-togethers, drinks, knowledge sessions and much more. And of course with GreenTech Amsterdam.

The event brought together professionals from around the world to connect, network, share knowledge and do business.

Next week, we’ll be sharing more information on market developments, trends, what’s on display, news, business news, innovations and whatever else you can think of, but for now we’ll stick to photo reporting.
