S2 E45: A Long Road to Legalization with, Trent Hancock

Trent Hancock is the former head breeder for Creswell Oreganics and a former owner in Crater Enterprises. In 1998 he started indoor growing in Portland’s legendary cannabis community and went on to build his first commercial grow in Montana in 2008. Trent spent the next eight years in Montana consulting the largest indoor cannabis facilities in the country at the time, prior to Colorado 2014. Realizing that large scale commercial grows had bug and mold problems that were nearly impossible to control without spraying flowering plants, he started developing a controlled air system that prevented the need for spraying. In 2014, Trent teamed up withShayney Norick and her medical cannabis company in Montana. Gaining the space and ability to refine his air system, he utilized his Navy Seabee Dad's low voltage electronics experience to build his first control panel. This was thefirst control panel ever built that brings in high volumes of fresh air while running high altitude temperature algorithms, and no need for pesticides.After decades of knowledge and experience in the legacy and medical marijuana arenas, he is a qualityand testing expert.
