Peninsula Gardens Improves Cannabis Cultivation with Condair RS Series

Precisely, easily managed humidity control creates an optimal environment for every growth stage, ensuring ideal relative humidity ranges for premium cannabis products.

“Our new business is growing fast, so we’ve got to have the right environment for our plants and our staff.” This was the key takeaway from our conversation with Jason Shockey, General Manager and owner of Peninsula Gardens, as his premium commercial cannabis cultivation operation is continuing to grow day by day. With the right indoor environment – one controlled with precision and care – he and his hardworking team would be able to ensure it continues to thrive.

More about Condair RS

Optimizing humidification strategy

“The biggest deal for us was looking after the growth stages – they’re totally different in terms of what kind of environment the plants like,” Shockey continued. “For example, the vegetation stage needs between 70 and 75 percent relative humidity, but the flower stage only needs between 50 and 60 percent. We needed to maximize the growth potential – just without the growing pains!”

Operating out of a new building in Orion, Michigan with no previous humidification system installed, Shockey and his team had a clean slate. Enlisting the help of Michigan Air Products an HVAC manufacturers’ representative for commercial and industrial solutions, GreenPath Design an engineering firm that works on energy-efficient plumbing & mechanical solutions, and Rolls Mechanical, a local installer specializing in Condair products, it was time to elevate the potential of their commercial cannabis cultivation facility.

The solution

“We narrowed it down to two Condair RS Series humidifiers with blower packs,” Shockey says. “The price-to-performance ratio was bang-on for us, they’re sleek and easy to look after once you learn the ropes, and they’re a breeze to clean – that last point is a big deal to us. You’ll see on our Instagram account, @peninsula_gardens, that we promote the importance of having a clean, organized growing environment.”

Since watering cannabis plants directly –usually more than they need – can increase the risk of mold spores and disease spreading between specimens, the Condair RS series was more than a safe bet to provide consistent hydration. These high-precision resistive steam humidifiers are both performant and incredibly user-friendly, designed for hassle-free cleaning and energy efficiency. Dedicated scale tanks collect unwanted mineral deposits and can be cleaned out easily. Along with a premium heating element, it was the ideal choice for Peninsula Gardens’ commercial cultivation needs, where accuracy translates directly to profitability and peace of mind. Overall, the project took from November 2020 to May 2021 to complete before going into full operation.

The results speak for themselves

“We’ve had the setup running for a couple months now, and it’s been a huge help!” Shockey says. “Room by room, everything is dialed in where it should be, so we have much tighter environmental conditions. Our products and people have never been happier.”

In addition to the disease prevention and optimal growth benefits, Peninsula Gardens has experienced considerable energy and time savings. The reduced maintenance requirements – all without sacrificing system performance or indoor air quality – has helped the team focus on producing the highest-quality cannabis goods possible.

“You can’t call yourself a premium producer if your facility isn’t up to snuff,” Shockey says. “We’re super pleased with the way everything’s been working – being proactive pays off!”

Condair RS delivers precise, ±1% RH control for cannabis cultivation, ensuring ideal humidity at every growth stage for healthier plants and higher yields.

BÃ¡lna, Budapest

The BÃ¡lna (the whale) is a commercial, cultural, and gastronomic center in the heart of Budapest. It connects the city center with the tourist and gastronomic zone on the riverbank. In addition to its avant-garde exterior, the interior design also alludes to the appearance of a whale.

It is predominantly characterized by steel, aluminum, glass, bone-colored concrete, and satin-gray aluminum surfaces. Sunlight streams through the transparent glass roof, sparkling on the highly polished concrete and wooden floors, the terrazzo-patterned stairs, and the chrome steel escalators. Steam humidifiers from Condair ensure a pleasant level of humidity.

SITPlus Facility (Sterile Insect Technology)

This purpose-built sterile fruit fly facility, in Port Augusta, Australia, is using Condair RS humidifiers to create the ideal environment for raising sterile fruit flies. Once reared, these flies are released and mate with wild female fruit flies. The result is the wild female flies cannot reproduce and numbers of wild fruit flies are controlled, thus safeguarding the horticultural industry in South Australia and Victoria.With pressure mounting on farmers to use fewer chemicals to control pests, this innovative technology is gaining momentum in Australia. Condair is proud to contribute to this important project that improves productivity for the horticultural sector.

Columbus Museum of Modern Art, USA

The Columbus Museum of Art needed precise humidity control to protect priceless artworks and ensure visitor comfort. Condair installed its RS steam humidifiers, integrated with the museum™s HVAC system, delivering consistent humidity in the ideal 50¯Â±¯5¯% RH range. The system™s design allows rapid response to seasonal and daily fluctuations, ensuring paintings, sculptures, and historic artifacts are safeguarded against cracking, warping, or other moisture-related damage. Easy to operate and maintain, the RS units provide reliable, energy-efficient performance while blending unobtrusively into the museum™s infrastructure. By maintaining stable indoor humidity, Condair helps preserve the integrity of the collection, supports optimal conditions for visitors, and provides curators with confidence that their environment meets stringent conservation standards.
