Most cannabis operations are underperforming — and many don't know by how much. The difference between growing cannabis and running a profitable cultivation business comes down to precision: environmental control, genetics strategy, cultivation protocols, and disciplined execution, all tracked against measurable KPIs. Urth & Fyre's cultivation consulting turns underperforming operations into profit engines with documented, repeatable results.
Growing cannabis isn't the hard part. Growing it profitably, consistently, at scale — that's where most operators struggle. Common issues include environmental systems that aren't calibrated, genetics that don't match facility conditions, nutrient programs based on general recommendations rather than data, lack of SOPs leading to inconsistent results, and insufficient pest management creating crop losses that eat into margins.
The KPIs that separate profitable operations from unprofitable ones are straightforward: yield per square foot, cost per gram, compliance pass rate, labor hours per pound, and energy cost per pound. If you're not tracking these metrics or don't like the numbers, that's exactly where we start.
Comprehensive facility and cultivation assessment establishing baseline metrics across every variable that impacts yield, quality, and cost. Environmental optimization covering VPD, temperature, humidity, CO2 management, and airflow engineering. Genetics strategy including cultivar selection, pheno-hunting protocols, and mother plant management. Nutrient and fertigation program design tailored to your specific water chemistry, media, and genetics.
IPM and biosecurity program development to prevent crop losses before they happen. SOP creation and staff training ensuring consistent execution across every team member and every harvest cycle. Post-harvest optimization covering harvest timing, drying, curing, trimming, and packaging. Production scheduling and capacity planning to maximize facility utilization and revenue.
Phase 1: Baseline Assessment (2-4 weeks). We audit your entire cultivation operation — environmental data, cultivation practices, genetics program, SOPs, staffing, and financials. We establish baseline metrics and identify the specific factors limiting your yield, quality, and profitability.
Phase 2: Priority Improvements (first harvest cycle). We implement the highest-impact, lowest-cost improvements first. Environmental calibration, nutrient program adjustments, and SOP refinements that produce measurable results within your very next harvest.
Phase 3: Advanced Optimization (cycles 2-4). With baseline improvements in place, we tackle genetics strategy, facility modifications, advanced environmental controls, and process refinements that compound the gains from Phase 2.
Phase 4: Ongoing Monitoring and Continuous Improvement. For clients who want sustained results, we provide ongoing KPI monitoring, seasonal adjustments, and continuous optimization to keep your operation at peak performance.
985% ROI with $6.7M projected annual profit through comprehensive cultivation optimization. Yield density improved to 67 grams per square foot. Compliance pass rate improved from 65% to 83%. Revenue of $9.9M with $4.38M net profit on a $404K capital investment, delivering 1,024% ROI. These results come from disciplined, data-driven cultivation management — not shortcuts, not luck, not one-time conditions.
If your operation isn't hitting the yield, quality, and cost targets you need, let's find out why. Our cultivation assessment establishes exactly where you stand, identifies the specific factors limiting your performance, and maps out a prioritized improvement plan with measurable targets. Contact Urth & Fyre to get started — no obligation, just expert analysis of your operation's potential.
A test-driven, buyer-focused acceptance test checklist for used/reconditioned lab circulators and chillers—covering temperature stability under load, heat-up and pull-down performance, pump verification, leak checks, alarms, sensor validation, electrical draw, noise/vibration, and visual inspection—plus the most common commissioning pitfalls and how Urth & Fyre can deliver documented SAT results for production confidence.
In-process potency testing can speed decisions without creating a “shadow lab”—if you design it like a controlled, QA-owned decision-support system. This post lays out a practical release-support workflow (sampling, chain-of-custody-lite, daily system suitability, calibration/verification checks, defined use cases, and audit-ready documentation) and shows how a turnkey HPLC like Urth & Fyre’s Shimadzu Hemp/Cannabinoid Analyzer can fit into a governed operations environment.
Most net-contents headaches on high-speed packaging lines come from control latency: variable product flow meets slow feedback, creating either overweight giveaway or a spike in false rejects. This practical guide shows packaging managers how to design buffer capacity, set target weights versus tolerances, and use checkweigher data to tune a multihead weigher upstream—while calling out common failure modes like sticky product smearing, vibratory feeder drift, tare variability, and sloppy changeovers. Includes benchmarks, an easy-to-explain control-loop diagram, and SOP-ready steps for NTEP-appropriate verification and audit defense.
Micro-cracks and late-stage leaks in press-cap vapor devices are usually born from tiny misalignments, dimensional drift, contamination, and inconsistent force ramps—not “bad luck.” This practical guide shows packaging and QA managers how to build a daily routine around tray/fixture checks, first-article verification, force setpoint validation, and a simple destructive test cadence, with documentation patterns (URS/FAT/SAT-lite, training sign-offs) that make the process auditable and repeatable.
Choosing the right bath fluid is the fastest way to protect your high temperature circulator, hit reaction temperature under load, and avoid sludge, seal swell, and audit headaches. This guide breaks down viscosity, oxidation stability, flash/autoignition safety, materials compatibility, filtration, change intervals, and documentation—plus how to match fluid choice to circulator pump capability like the JULABO SL-12 (300°C, 12 L).
A repeatable 30-minute pre-shift cartridge filling setup routine for production supervisors—covering thermal equilibration, viscosity confirmation, needle selection, purge/prime, timed dose checks, and first-article approval—plus the failure modes and documentation practices that reduce rework and improve audit readiness. Includes a practical workflow for the Thompson Duke MCF1.
