Growers Network is a cannabis cultivation community built around a Discourse forum and Canna Cribs, the documentary series that tours commercial grow operations. It sits beside equipment retailer Growers House and the CannaCribs consulting practice, and its forum was logging fresh grow journals and equipment threads in September 2026.
A forum for working growers
The forum bills itself as “The Private Community for Commercial Cannabis Professionals.” Its boards run from Grow from Home, with grow journals, DIY builds and news, to Processing/CBD, a Marketplace for used equipment, News and Legislation, and a Random Chat and Fun corner.
Threads carry tags such as Question, Newbie, Hobbyist and Business. The most-viewed thread, “Show us your bud pics!”, had passed 7,047 replies when the forum was read in September 2026. Sidebar links point members to CannaCribs, Growers House and OSG Seeds.
Canna Cribs, season by season
Canna Cribs premiered in September 2017 with The Cannabist as broadcast partner. Episode one, released as Glass House Farms, CA, walked through a 350,000-square-foot greenhouse and processing site in California. The episode page pitches the show as inside access to the industry’s leading cannabis grow ops.
Season 1 ran eight episodes: the Glass House, Grow Op Farms and Phat Panda in Spokane, Copperstate Farms, Los Sueños, Honeydew Farms, Rare Dankness, Canndescent and Sunday Goods. Season 2 opened with Yerba Buena, Tikun Olam and Kings Garden in the Coachella Valley. Glass House came back for Season 3, Episode 3.
Inside Copperstate
The Copperstate episode shows the scale the series chases. Ganjapreneur covered its release on October 8, 2018. Host Nate Lipton toured a 40-acre greenhouse campus in Snowflake, Arizona, with owner Fife Symington. The facility was producing about 4,500 pounds of packaged cannabis a week.
A 55,000-square-foot mothers room held more than 100 active strains. The campus also housed an independent terpene analytics lab and the edibles brand Good Things Coming.
CannaCribs consulting
The Canna Cribs name also fronts a paid consulting arm. CannaCribs consulting handles facility design, cultivation optimization, SOP development, data collection platforms, staff training, automation, cost reduction and genetic preservation. Its scope also covers financial modeling, site selection, lighting design, fertigation and post-harvest work.
The team includes Dr. Philipp Matzneller, Dr. Deron Caplan and Juan Gutierrez, with more than 50 years of combined cultivation experience. CannaCribs lists more than 300,000 square feet of managed cultivation space, and its named clients include FIGR, Origins and Craft Cult. CannaCribs Consulting is offered as its own service.
Growers House and the wider family
Growers House is the equipment supplier co-founded by Nate Lipton, the same host who fronts Canna Cribs. Alongside the forum and the tours, the group runs a Genetics section built around a network of curated breeders, and it produces the Deep Roots video series and the CannaCribs Podcast, where industry leaders talk through the companies they run.
Growers Network’s homepage lists members from across the supply chain, including Copperstate, Steep Hill, Fluence, Advanced Nutrients, General Hydroponics and GreenBroz.
