With the cannabis industry ramping up globally like never before, hydroponics technology has never been in as much demand as it is now. Hydroponic growing methods boast a multitude of positive qualities such as reduced pest and disease outbreaks, improved cultivation control, modularity, and much more. Gardening company giants like ScottsMiracle-Gro see the green future of hydroponics and have already begun investing in the space through acquisitions and IP. Patents for cultivating cannabis through hydroponics are being sought by many already and will only continue as cannabis legality gains a national footprint.
