US: Guidance for indoor hemp growing facilities

Myriad challenges can arise when growing hemp indoors, from lighting, to climate control to space layout. Seeing a need in this emerging industry, Bill M. Fuchs, of Logical Green Solutions, built a network of strategic partners to offer guidance for those issues and more.

Fuchs has been in the construction industry for more than 30 years. In 2008, when he became interested in LED lighting and energy saving technology, he began offering that as a value-added service for his company, Total Team Construction. In 2011, he spun off Logical Green Solutions as its own entity. Shortly after, he developed a mild interest in hydroponics and cannabis grow lighting. When the 2018 federal farm bill passed, which legalized industrial hemp throughout the United States, Fuchs started looking at the hemp market more earnestly and saw a need for a more of a business approach that helped farmers, growers and processors with due diligence throughout the growing process.

“We’ve been helping farmers and indoor growers from seed to sales since last fall,” Fuchs says. “We have seeds with certificates of analysis that are legitimate, which is a challenge in the industry.” In addition to seed sourcing, Fuchs and his network of strategic partners offers consulting for building layouts, revenue streams, LED grow lights and irrigation systems, climate control, racking and  facility parts. Through Total Team Construction, he has the ability to also offer construction management in any part of the country. He also has partners to consult for grow management, cultivation, cannabis crop insurance and financing.
