UNDERSTANDING CANNABIS GREENHOUSES
(AND EVERYTHING THAT GOES IN THEM)
A glossary of common terms
The language surrounding cannabis greenhouse operations is a mishmash of horticulture and growing
terminology specific to cannabis, combined with names of the various greenhouse systems, equipment and
control options.
Cannabis greenhouse operators should understand the most common terminology and have a solid grasp
of the concepts they will need to understand to successfully navigate design, purchase and build-out of a
profitable cannabis greenhouse facility.
Airflow fans: Hanging circulation fans to facilitate air exchange. Not the same as exhaust fans.
Airflow management: A system of managing airflow to prevent mold and mildew by reducing humidity and
condensation.
Benching systems: Raised platforms that support cannabis plants. Different benching systems are used,
including stationary benches, rolling benches, palletized rolling benches and vertical tray racks.
Boom irrigation system: A system used to uniformly and automatically provide overhead watering,
reducing labor and water waste. Typically used on young cannabis plants and plugs, while maturing plants
are often watered with drip irrigation to prevent disease.
Canopy area (or canopy space): The surface area used to produce mature plants, calculated by square
feet, often used to permit licensed marijuana growing facilities.
Canopy management: A term for the techniques and considerations used to maximize the efficiency of
cannabis grow space.
CO2 enrichment: Providing additional carbon dioxide in an enclosed greenhouse system to support
cannabis plant growth.
CO2 generator: A piece of equipment that produces carbon dioxide, typically using natural gas or propane.
It can be set to turn on and off automatically.
Dehumidification: A system of evacuating excess condensation inside a commercial greenhouse. May
be accomplished through venting, heating and venting, using dehumidifier units or a heat pump to capture
humidified air and exchange it with warm, dry air or a desiccant dehumidification system.
Desiccant dehumidification: Uses chemicals to absorb liquid and reduce humidity with the ability to
reuse the heat from the regeneration process for additional heating.
Diffused roof coverings: A roof covering that improves the light penetrating the crop and generates
better and more even growth. It does so by diffusing the light, reducing excess heat and crop stress while
eliminating shades caused by structural elements in the greenhouse.
