In the fast-evolving cannabis industry, running a successful cultivation facility isn’t just about having great genetics — it’s about avoiding costly mistakes that can tank a harvest before it ever reaches the curing racks. At Evergreen Growers LLC., we’ve spent years refining our systems, learning firsthand (and sometimes the hard way) what separates a good grow from a great one.
Today, we're breaking down some of the most common grow room mistakes — and how you can avoid them.
🌡️ 1. Inconsistent Environmental Control
Your plants don’t like surprises. Wild swings in temperature or humidity stress plants, invite pathogens, and reduce yields.
Common mistakes:
Forgetting to calibrate sensors regularly
Poor airflow causing localized hot spots
Oversized or undersized HVAC systems
Evergreen Growers LLC. Pro Tip: Set up Environmental monitoring procedures and automate alerts for temperature/humidity swings. Trust the data — not just your gut.
At Evergreen Growers LLC we have a saying. “If you don’t have a record for your environment for the entire 24hour cycle. Then you are not growing Indoor”.
🧫 2. Poor Sanitation Protocols
Dirty rooms breed dirty problems — powdery mildew, root rot, pests — you name it.
Common mistakes:
Not sanitizing tools between plant interactions
Skipping full room wipe-downs between cycles
Ignoring shoe covers and protective gear
Evergreen Growers LLC. Pro Tip: Follow strict SOP Vault Sanitation steps — from pre-planting sterilization to daily wipe-downs — and build these habits into your team’s DNA.
💧 3. Overwatering or (Underwatering)
More cannabis plants die from overwatering than underwatering. Roots need oxygen as much as they need moisture.
Common mistakes:
Watering on a set schedule instead of by plant needs
Using grow media without proper drainage
Ignoring runoff EC readings
Evergreen Growers LLC. Pro Tip: Learn the weight of your pots when dry vs. wet. Invest in moisture sensors if scaling up. Your root health depends on it.
We have created SOPs with Checklists dedicated to preventing future problems.
🔎 4. Not Scouting for Pests Early Enough
If you see bugs during flower — it's already late. Prevention and early detection are your real allies.
Common mistakes:
Skipping regular IPM (Integrated Pest Management) walkthroughs
Not quarantining new genetics/clones
Relying too heavily on sprays instead of cultural controls
Evergreen Growers LLC. Pro Tip: Daily inspections and clean entry protocols are non-negotiable. Build IPM checks into your daily opening routines.
