Built for Commercial Workflows, Priced for Accessibility
Grow1 occupies the strategic middle ground between hobbyist tools and six-figure industrial machinery. Their product philosophy centers on delivering commercial durability and throughput at price points that make sense for emerging cultivators scaling beyond personal use but not yet operating at wholesale warehouse capacity.
Post-Harvest Processing That Protects Your Investment
The journey from harvest to marketable product determines your final ROI. Grow1's post-harvest lineup addresses the most critical quality control phases: extraction purity, drying uniformity, and size-grade consistency.
-
Solventless Extraction Systems: The
8-bag micron filtration kits scale from 5-gallon hobbyist batches to 32-gallon commercial runs, capturing trichomes across 25–220 micron ranges for full-spectrum hash production. When paired with
dedicated washing machines, these bags deliver clean separation without plant material contamination.
-
Gravity-Flow Bud Sorting: The
stationary sorter series eliminates hand-grading bottlenecks. Flow-through screen designs separate biomass into distinct size grades—from premium tops to trim-grade material—at speeds that keep pace with
mechanical trimmers. Zero moving parts means minimal maintenance and consistent throughput.
-
Controlled Drying Infrastructure:
Mesh drying nets with zippered enclosures create uniform airflow around your harvest, preventing mold formation while preserving terpene profiles. Collapsible designs store flat between harvests, maximizing facility square footage.
Environmental Control Components
Consistent environmental parameters separate successful harvests from crop loss. Grow1's infrastructure products handle the unsexy but essential tasks that determine whether your plants thrive or struggle.
-
Timing Precision: Choose between
mechanical timers for bulletproof simplicity or
digital controllers for multi-program automation. The 8-way power strip model centralizes control for lights, fans, and pumps on synchronized schedules—essential for photoperiod management and VPD optimization.
-
Airflow Management: The
in-line fan series spans 171–1060 CFM, matching tent footprints from 2x4 starter boxes to commercial flower rooms. Ceramic-coated impellers and thermal motor protection ensure continuous operation through extended flower cycles. Pair these with
carbon filtration for complete exhaust systems.
-
Green LED Work Lighting: Service your rooms during dark cycles without triggering photoperiod disruption.
Rechargeable work lights and
hands-free headlamps provide task illumination that won't interrupt flowering hormones, allowing maintenance and inspection during lights-off periods.
-
Water Storage Solutions: Collapsible reservoirs eliminate the footprint and weight of rigid tanks. Available from
60-gallon compact models to
265-gallon commercial units, these PVC tanks store nutrient solutions or RO water with integrated fill ports and drain valves. Fold them flat for off-season storage or facility reconfiguration.
Scaling Your Operation with Grow1
The strategic value of Grow1 equipment emerges when you map their products across your entire cultivation workflow. Unlike brands that specialize in a single category, Grow1's cross-functional lineup lets you standardize on one manufacturer for harvest processing, environmental control, and irrigation infrastructure.
-
Labor Cost Reduction: A
medium bud sorter replaces 3–4 employees hand-grading at trim tables. A
properly-sized ventilation system prevents the crop loss that requires entire re-runs.
-
Modularity for Growth: Start with entry-level extraction bags, then upgrade to the 32-gallon kit as your biomass volume increases. Add reservoir capacity as plant counts expand. This incremental approach avoids over-capitalization while maintaining processing consistency.
-
Simplified Maintenance: Grow1's mechanical simplicity—from gravity-fed sorters to analog timers—means fewer points of failure than complex electronic systems. When components do need replacement, the straightforward designs support in-house repairs rather than forcing manufacturer service calls.
Grow1 doesn't chase exotic features or proprietary ecosystems. They engineer reliable equipment that performs essential cultivation tasks at price points that make operational sense for small to mid-sized producers. That focused approach has made them the default choice for growers who prioritize function over flash, and results over marketing hype. Explore
hand trimming tools and
powered trimming equipment to complete your post-harvest processing line.
Frequently Asked Questions
What micron sizes are included in Grow1 extraction bag kits?
Grow1's 8-bag extraction kits include 25, 45, 73, 90, 120, 160, 190, and 220 micron screens. This range captures everything from premium full-melt heads (25–73µ) to cooking-grade kief (160–220µ), allowing you to separate trichome grades based on quality and intended use. The kits work with 5, 10, or 32-gallon washing machines depending on your batch size requirements.
How much throughput can I expect from Grow1 bud sorters?
Throughput depends on moisture content and operator pace, but commercial facilities report processing 10–20 pounds per hour through the Medium model and 25–40 pounds per hour through the Large Stainless Steel unit. The gravity-flow design handles both wet and dry material without jamming, making them particularly valuable immediately post-trim when biomass is at peak moisture. Since there are no powered components, processing speed scales with your labor, not machine cycles.
What's the difference between mechanical and digital Grow1 timers?
Mechanical timers use rotating dials with physical pins to control 15-minute intervals—simple, reliable, and immune to power surges that can reset digital memory. Digital timers offer programmable flexibility with up to 8 separate schedules and intervals as precise as 1 minute, making them ideal for coordinating lights, circulation fans, and irrigation pumps on complex timing sequences. Both handle 15-ampere loads, but mechanical units are preferred for critical photoperiod lighting due to their fail-safe operation.
Can Grow1 in-line fans be speed-controlled?
Yes, Grow1 in-line fans work with standard fan speed controllers to dial in precise CFM rates for your space. This lets you balance negative pressure (for odor containment) against humidity removal and temperature management. Most growers run fans at 60–80% speed during lights-on periods, then increase to full power during lights-off to combat the humidity spike that occurs when transpiration stops but stomata close.
Do Grow1 collapsible reservoirs affect water pH over time?
The food-grade PVC construction is chemically inert and won't leach compounds that alter pH or EC readings. However, stagnant water in any reservoir will experience pH drift as dissolved CO2 equilibrates with atmospheric levels and microbial populations develop. Best practice is to circulate stored water with a small pump or air stone, which also prevents stratification where nutrient salts settle at the bottom while lighter elements concentrate at the top.
What's the weight capacity of Grow1 drying racks?
Each mesh tier supports approximately 3–5 pounds of wet material depending on density. The key limitation isn't structural failure but airflow restriction—overloading tiers blocks circulation and creates anaerobic pockets where mold thrives. For best results, distribute material in a single layer with space between buds, prioritizing air exchange over maximum capacity. If you're consistently filling all tiers, you need additional racks rather than heavier loading on existing units.
Are Grow1 products compatible with other manufacturers' systems?
Yes—Grow1 equipment uses industry-standard specifications rather than proprietary interfaces. Extraction bags fit any washing machine with the corresponding gallon capacity, in-line fans accept standard HVAC ducting, timers work with any 120V or 240V device within load limits, and reservoir fittings use common 3/4-inch threading. This interoperability lets you integrate Grow1 components into existing setups without replacing your entire infrastructure or being locked into a single-vendor ecosystem.
Why use green LED lights instead of regular flashlights in grow rooms?
Plants rely on red and blue spectrum photons to regulate flowering hormones—green wavelengths (500–600nm) pass through leaf tissue with minimal absorption, making them essentially invisible to photoperiod-sensitive crops. Standard white LEDs or incandescent bulbs emit the red spectrum that triggers phytochrome reactions, potentially causing hermaphroditism or extended flower times if used during dark periods. Green LEDs provide adequate task lighting for inspections, maintenance, and harvest work without disrupting your light schedule.
