The Medical Journey That Started Good Vibes
Welcome to Good Vibes in Barstow, California — a massive commercial growing operation built inside what was once a shopping mall. In this Grow World Tour, Nick Morin goes behind the scenes with the Good Vibes team to explore how they operate a large-scale facility with 22 flower rooms, thousands of plants, and a highly structured production schedule. But the story behind Good Vibes goes far beyond the facility itself. Founder Rey shares the deeply personal story of his daughter Emily, who experienced severe seizures as a child and ultimately inspired him to leave his previous career and build a new path around plant-based products. His journey became the foundation for what would eventually grow into Good Vibes. Inside the facility, we also look at the systems and decisions that help a commercial operation run efficiently, including: • Facility design and commercial grow planning • Climate and humidity management • Propagation and plant scheduling • Managing multiple rooms at different stages • Why Good Vibes keeps its cultivar selection focused • Plant density and production efficiency • Lighting intensity and UV strategies • Under-canopy lighting • Root-zone media and irrigation considerations • Preventative environmental management • Post-harvest curing and storage technology • How small operational improvements can create meaningful savings at scale Nick also sits down with experts from DRM, ProGuard, Advanced Nutrients, GrowPros, Kaya and Calyx to explore the technologies and strategies being used throughout the facility. One of the biggest lessons from the tour is that operating at scale isn't just about having more rooms or more equipment. It's about consistency, scheduling, environmental control, efficient workflows, and making smart decisions about where to invest. From an abandoned shopping mall to a 22-room production facility, this is the story of Good Vibes. Follow Grow World on Instagram and subscribe to Grow World on YouTube.

Grow World x GrowPros: Inside the Legend, the Legacy & the Coming Cannabis Shakeup
🌱 In this first ever collaboration between GrowPros and GrowWorld, we sit down with an absolute legend in the cannabis cultivation space: Nick Morin, Founder & CEO of GrowWorld. Nick's story runs deep in this industry. He's the mind behind CannaCribs, the show that gave millions an inside look at some of the largest commercial cannabis operations in the world, and he later built Growers Network into a community of 25,000+ members. That experience shaped the foundation of GrowWorld, a B2B equipment marketplace connecting commercial growers with manufacturers through a Try, Buy, Trade model, now serving over 1,000 growers across 55+ countries. In this episode, Nick breaks down how that journey from documenting grows to building the infrastructure behind them led to where GrowWorld stands today. We're also joined by two key voices from the GPS side: 🏗️ Jeremy Johnson, Head of GPS Construction, brings 20+ years in the industry and a background from Oaksterdam University. Jeremy now focuses on building grow spaces from literally the ground up, and shares what it really takes to construct a facility that performs. 🎙️ Ben Matsuda, Partner at GrowPros and host of this episode, is a second generation cultivator who brings his own hands on growing background into the conversation. Together, the group dives into where the cannabis industry has been, what's shifting right now, and the major regulation changes on the horizon that could reshape the space as we know it. 📌 Topics covered: - Nick Morin's path from CannaCribs to GrowWorld - How documenting the industry shaped GrowWorld's model - Jeremy Johnson's approach to building cultivation facilities from scratch - Ben Matsuda's perspective as a second generation cultivator - Upcoming cannabis regulation changes and what they mean for growers
