Due Diligence Horticulture

We're looking forward to Indoor Ag-Con, March 11th and 12th in Las Vegas! DDH's own Director of Science, Mitch Westmoreland Ph.D. will be moderating a panel on Intra-Canopy vs. Sub-Canopy Lighting on Tuesday, March 11th at 10am. This panel will examine the differences between intra-canopy and sub-canopy lighting in cannabis cultivation, and experts will provide insights into how each lighting strategy affects plant growth, quality, and yield outcomes. Interested in partnering with DDH? Connect with our VP of Operations Brian Groves to discuss CEA Asset sales and acquisition, asset and production evaluations and operational management services. We hope to see you there! #indooragcon #agriculture #horticulture #cultivation

Friday for Leaders How important are RESULTS to you in 2025? At DDH we believe results are the tangible assets which help a business build TRUST with its customers. TRUST is one of the most lethal weapons you can have on the market-place battlefield. Its important to have high aspirations, motivation and passion... but what really matters are the results from pursuing targeted goals and doing what you said you would/what you commit to. Yes, first you must believe it is possible and do your due diligence in creating an actionable plan - but then you MUST execute. As we go into another weekend, stop and think about the results you could drive... not the big-picture strategy, not another meeting, not another spend request but actionable, even small, incremental, and tangible RESULTS! #LeadershipFriday #TrustInAction #ExecutionExcellence #GoalDriven #CommitToResults #TangibleOutcomes #DriveResults

Friday for Leaders: This simple but powerful quote resonates with both entrepreneurs and investors alike, encapsulating the core of entrepreneurial spirit and investment philosophy. Here’s why it matters: -Vision and Goal Setting: A clear, compelling vision attracts the necessary resources to transform ideas into reality, especially crucial in the early stages of a startup or during strategic pivots. -Belief and Motivation: Belief isn’t just motivational—it’s foundational. Entrepreneurs who deeply believe in their vision inspire their teams and reassure investors, powering through challenges with resilience and conviction. -Achievement and Persistence: The path to significant achievements often involves overcoming obstacles. The capacity to persist, underpinned by strong belief in one’s goals, is vital for success. -Mindset of Possibility: Embracing the possible spurs innovation. Leaders open to achieving their conceived goals are more likely to venture into new territories and unlock substantial rewards. -Manifestation and Actualization: Realizing ideas through focused effort and belief not only brings visions to life but also attracts investors looking for groundbreaking opportunities. As we end the week, remember: Our beliefs shape our achievements. Think big, believe in your potential, and relentlessly pursue your goals. #Leadership #Entrepreneurship #Innovation #BusinessSuccess

When working with DDH whether this be for operational management services or fractional CCO/CSO services your business gets access to over 11 best in class vendors from DDH's Vendor Council. This council not only provides you quality products, designs and technical support at competitive prices and terms but also, with DDH, the opportunity to learn about and try new products before they are commercially available. Below shows some of this in action with Jumplights, Inc. - one of the few vendors producing purpose built under canopy lights for Cannabis and competitive LED technology hitting as high as 3.4 umol/J efficacy. This efficacy comes alongside reduced risk of photobleaching making it a game changer in the market for supplemental lighting. That is what we call purpose built for Cannabis and bottom line focused innovation! #DDHPartners #CannabisInnovation #VendorCouncil #CannabisTech #JumplightsInc #GreenhouseTech #OperationalExcellence #FractionalCSO #CannabisIndustry #PurposeBuiltTech #HorticultureSolutions #SustainableCannabis #GrowSmart #InnovationLeaders #PremiumCannabisProducts

DDH - ON THE MOVE! Last week we visited the greenhouse below. This grower was impressive. Even though they still have HPS their direct production costs were some of the lowest we have seen in the country. You know what this tells DDH? It tells us that the foundation to improve productivity is there and that any increase in crop performance will directly impact their bottom line and plummet their cost/lb. This fact will enable them to maintaining their leadership position in the state and more. Game on! #GreenhouseGrowing #HorticultureInnovation #CropPerformance #SustainableFarming #ProductionEfficiency #CommercialCultivation #Agribusiness #CannabisIndustry #GrowerSuccess #LowerCostHigherYield #SmartFarming #ContinuousImprovement #DDHInsights #LeadershipInCultivation

Keep going, keep striving, don't give up. Getting your system to autopilot status is in sight! ?? "Walk over, lower the bucket, raise the bucket, walk to the basin, pour the water out, repeat." This simple, yet repetitive process exemplifies the importance of persistence and consistency in production and cash flow management within a cultivation business. In horticulture where production processes are at the core of operations, establishing predictable and nearly autopilot systems is crucial. Consistent and reliable production cycles enhance cash flow predictability by ensuring a steady output and reducing the likelihood of costly disruptions. Persistent monitoring and refinement of these processes are essential. Regular reviews help maintain efficiency and cost-effectiveness, directly impacting financial stability. This repetitive attention to detail ensures that the business not only meets its production targets but also sustains financial health through efficient resource management. In essence, just as a well-oiled machine runs smoothly and predictably, so too must our production and financial processes. This consistency is what allows businesses to manage cash flow effectively, support steady growth, and maintain competitive advantage in the market. #CashFlowManagement #BusinessGrowth #FinancialStability #ProductionEfficiency #OperationalExcellence #IndustryLeadership #BusinessProcesses #SustainableBusiness #FinancialHealth #ConsistencyIsKey
