The Future of Grow Lighting and Greenhouse Technology
In an exclusive interview at MJ BizCon, Growing Exposed host Justin reconnects with Miami Mango’s Alex at the ThinkGrow booth to explore groundbreaking innovations in cultivation technology. ThinkGrow continues to push the boundaries of efficiency, yield, and sustainability with three revolutionary products: the ICL 150 Lights, Low-Profile Lifters, and Greenhouse Controllers.
ICL 150 Lights – Versatile Under-Canopy & Side Lighting
The ICL 150 represents a new era of grow lighting with its tunable full spectrum including whites, deep reds, far reds, and UV. Originally dubbed the UCLs, these lights shine at a 150-degree angle, making them ideal for both under-canopyand side lighting applications.
Key Features:
• 150-watt fully tunable spectrum
• Customizable light settings for different growth stages
• Can be mounted under the canopy or on the sidewalls for optimal light penetration
With this level of flexibility, growers can enhance bud development, reduce shadowing, and maximize efficiency in their grow operations.
Low-Profile Lifters – Maximizing Space & Efficiency
Space utilization is a critical factor in modern cultivation, especially in multi-tier growing systems. ThinkGrow’s new low-profile lifters are designed to work seamlessly in multi-tier applications, optimizing plant exposure without requiring lights to run at full power.
Benefits of Low-Profile Lifters:
• Energy Savings: Lower light intensity while maintaining the same PPFD (Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density
• Reduced HVAC Costs: Running lights at lower power means less heat and reduced cooling requirements
• Optimized Light Placement: Ensures light is directed where it’s needed, minimizing waste.
By integrating TrollMaster’s Quantum Sensor, growers can automatically adjust lighting output, preventing unnecessary energy consumption and ensuring maximum efficiency.
Greenhouse Controllers – Smarter Environmental Management
ThinkGrow is also revolutionizing environmental control with its new greenhouse controller. Following the success of the Hydrox Junior and HCS1 controllers, the company has introduced a next-generation greenhouse automation system.
What’s New?
• Advanced climate control settings for temperature, humidity, and CO2 levels
• Scalability: Future iterations will expand into a pro-level system
• Integrated learning technology: The system evolves based on grower feedback and data analytics
This controller empowers growers with real-time monitoring and automation, reducing labor needs and improving overall grow performance.
The Takeaway: Efficiency & Innovation
ThinkGrow’s new products are a game-changer for the cultivation industry. By combining cutting-edge lighting technology, space-saving lifters, and intelligent environmental controls, they provide growers with the tools to maximize yield, reduce energy costs, and create a more sustainable growing environment.
