🌱Precision Control is the Next Breakthrough for Indoor Farming🌱

David Sandelman, CTO of Canatrol, is changing the way growers approach post-harvest processing by shifting the focus from traditional, instinct-driven methods to data-backed environmental control. Drawing from decades of experience in controls engineering, cheese aging, and food safety, David Sandelman empowers both legacy and modern cultivators with the science needed for consistent, high-quality results.

Key Insights from the Episode:

✅ Environmental Stability Matters: Relative humidity isn’t a direct control variable—true quality comes from precise management of temperature and v***r pressure.
✅ Consistency Is King: Stable conditions in post-harvest environments preserve terpenes, increase yield, and guarantee longer shelf life, ensuring repeatable premium products.
✅ The Science of Quality: Applying proven concepts from food safety, like water activity, to cannabis and other crops can eliminate overdry product and mold risk.
✅ Beyond Cannabis: The same approach has ripple effects in cheese, charcuterie, dry-aged steak, and even tea—anywhere shelf stability and flavor matter.
✅ Embracing Change: Education and science-backed tools help legacy growers achieve more predictable, profitable harvests without sacrificing craft.

"Here we've got more science going for you to get you more repeatable and consistent results." – David Sandelman
