Free Webinar For Cultivators: How To Approach Electrical For Your Grow Space – Tips from the Pros by Defiance Electric
October 4, 2022 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Online
In this free lunchtime webinar designed for Vermont cultivators, Travis Boucher and Peter Dionne of Defiance Electric share tips for implementing thoughtful and forward-thinking electrical infrastructure for your grow facility.
Your electrical design will inform how you budget, how you construct your space and how long projects will take. It will also determine how easy or difficult, cheap or expensive it is to grow in the future when you are ready to upgrade or expand.
Travis and Peter will be joined by moderators/panelists and grow pros Kendall Smith and Stephanie Waterman of White River Growpro, cultivation experts who specialize in facility design+ wholesale supply.
There will be a short presentation, followed by 30m of Q+A.

The Moderators
Stephanie Waterman, White River Growpro
Stephanie Waterman is a native Vermonter who has been gardening most of her life. She planted her first vegetable garden at the age of 8 and that started a lifelong love of digging in the dirt. Her interest in cannabis cultivation started when she met her husband in 2003. He was a grower, and taught her all about how to cultivate the amazing plant. Together they have built a homestead in Vermont where they are constantly striving toward self-sustainability. They grow a variety of fruits, vegetables, perennials and medicinal herbs, and have also raised chickens.
In 2014 she opened White River Growpro with her husband in an effort to share their passion with the public. White River Growpro is a full service grow store, specializing in cultivation, harvest, and processing equipment for growers of all sizes. Stephanie specializes in helping indoor growers maximize their yields while focusing on energy efficiency.
Kendall Smith, White River Growpro
Kendall Smith, cofounder of White River GrowPro, has been cultivating cannabis for nearly 30 years on a variety of scales ranging from home grow to a registered medical cannabis caregiver to a commercial underground market grower. He was a registered medical cultivator in California in the early days of Prop 215. Kendall specializes in indoor cultivation and maximizing yields in small spaces. His primary focus is on helping growers be successful in which ever style they choose to grow.
