Glass Meadows is a Newton, New Jersey based grower operating a greenhouse facility that used to grow a different type of greens. The site previously operated as a leafy greens and spinach facility, and it has been fully adapted for cannabis cultivation. Today, it runs a perpetual harvest model supported by TSR Grow lighting technology.
Mikahil Sagal, CEO of TSRgrow, recently paid a visit to the facility. "Glass Meadows is a great example of how existing agricultural infrastructure can be successfully converted to meet the needs of modern cannabis production." Dominic Galanti, Director of Operations at Glass Meadows, explains that the facility operates a hybrid lighting strategy designed to maximize efficiency while maintaining consistency throughout the grow cycle.
"In our veg room, we run the TSR lights in the evening hours and supplement with light during the day," Dominic points out. "That approach allows us to maintain stable conditions while supporting a continuous harvest schedule."

Growing 100+ strains
Glass Meadows currently cycles more than 140 strains through its inventory, each grown in dedicated rows to maintain uniformity. "They're all unique strains, but each one has a full row," Dominic says. "That allows us to be much more consistent with the product that comes out at the end."
Dominic takes care to point out that a key element of Glass Meadows is also the operational support from TSRgrow. He indeed remarks how the ability to quickly address power related issues has proven critical in avoiding potential crop losses. "It really makes a big difference when it comes to saving what could be a potential disaster in the event of a power outage."

Pharma-grade maintenance
From a maintenance perspective, the TSRgrow system is designed to minimize disruption inside the grow rooms. Drivers are consolidated in a single location to allow technicians to service components without entering plant areas. "With the TSR drivers, we're able to keep them in one consolidated location, go directly to them whenever we would have to do any type of maintenance, and then that way we're not brushing up against plants, we have a very easy working space" Dominic explains. "What you can do is you can just come right over to a module, pop it out. If you need to service it, you can," Mikhail remarks. "When you're done, pop it back in, and you're up and running. Easy maintenance, consolidated in one spot."

Keeping critical equipment and machinery away from the plants and even outside of the grow room can be particularly relevant for medical growers and those looking to export. After all, the industry is maturing, more players are coming online, and producing high quality and checking all the boxes for the highest international standards is a way to stand out in the crowd. "From a GMP and GACP perspective, which is where this is all going, especially with pharmaceutical rescheduling discussions, this is a huge benefit," he concludes.
