This isn’t Comic-Con… it’s culture.
New England shows up different for HEXPO. 🎃

From wild costumes to local legends behind the booths and walking the aisles, you never knew who was behind a mask.
This whole thing was a trip.

Everywhere you turned someone was showing off solventless fire, glass art, or genetics worth drooling over. 🔥

This is just a glimpse of what I caught.
I missed so many incredible costumes… so if I didn’t get you in the shot, forgive me.

Pretty sure I might be the worst event reporter in the game. 😂
Didn’t even make it to the night festivities… it was past my bedtime.
But I heard it was fire, with @djstenny leading the charge. 🎧

Not an official recap, just my quick walk-through of an insane Halloween weekend for the culture.
Much love to everyone who made it special… the HEXPO crew, the vendors, the artists, the growers, and the fans.

So now I’ve gotta ask…
👉 Who had your favorite booth or costume at @hexpo_?
Tag them below… I might’ve missed them. 👇

Peace, love, and spooky grow energy

Most growers never make it past a basement setup…

Keith “The Green Meatball” Saviano (@thegreenmeatball) turned Nimbus (@nimbuscc) into one of Massachusetts’ most respected craft operations. 🌱

His foundation? ProMix (@promixgrowers_global) — 25+ years in the recipe.

His edge? Cannatrol (@cannatrol) — dialing in consistency, repeatability, and reliability post-harvest.

And here’s the truth, in Keith’s own words: “The smaller the operation, the more love one puts into it.”

That’s the difference between craft and corporate.

The same tools Nimbus trusts are available for YOUR grow — through @GZGrowShops right here in Worcester, MA.

👉 Rent it. 👉 Buy it. 👉 Bring craft tech home.

💬 Growers — where do you fall on the spectrum?
Organic purist,
Syn-organic mixer,
or Full-tech operator?

Scissors are for rookies 💪 Nate aka @crop_steady_ put the @dlwholesale 18” Premium Tabletop Trimmer to the test and the results speak for themselves. One pass = 90% done ✅

And if you’re heading into harvest... Green Zone has a full trimming rental department. Manual trimmers, electric trimmers, plus all the traditional harvesting gear like trim bins, scissors, Scissor Magic, trim bags, and trim bowls. Call the shop and book your rentals early so you’re ready when the time comes.

No grow shop near you? Now you’ve got one... right here... in your pocket.

This was our first ever live shopping session, straight from the floor of Green Zone.
Was it raw? Yup. Was it real? 100%. And that’s exactly how we’re gonna keep it.

I walked through all the harvest gear from our reel... from loupes and hygrometers to trim bins, Grove Bags, and airflow tools... and built custom kits live.

🛍️ Want to shop one-on-one with me?
Just DM ‘SHOP’ and I’ll hop on Instagram video. We’ll walk the store together... talk through your setup... and fill your kit live. Just like FaceTime, but for growers.

📦 We’ll ship it out Priority (2–3 days) or Ground for $15 flat. No grow shop required.

🤝 Proud to feature @acinfinityinc as our Preferred Harvest Equipment Partner... precision tools, airflow solutions, and dialed-in harvest gear trusted by pros.

Now open anywhere there’s WiFi.

End of September is decision time. Rising humidity and disease pressure can shrink the window fast. Aim for mostly cloudy trichomes with a touch of amber, check more than one cola with a 30 to 60 power loupe. See early rot or PM, harvest and save the run.

Featuring gear from @acinfinityinc @doctor.zymes @grovebags_ @trimbag @thecvault plus Stack-It racks via @hydrofarmtv and ScissorFix.

Boston Freedom Rally 2025 🌱 We linked up with @averagejoegrow... community builder, podcast host, and Best Sun Grown Competition organizer... to talk shop and share some late season wisdom.

Gilf’s been rocking with us since day one... from walking into Green Zone looking for advice to stacking up multiple 1st place trophies at Freedom Rally, Harvest Cup, and Turptown Throwdown.

His tip? Keep your pH dialed in or your plants won’t eat. That’s why he trusts tools like @advancednutrientsofficial pH Perfect line... and why he still points new growers to Worcester’s Grow HQ.

But right now, New England growers are battling something bigger than nutrients… bud rot.

It’s peak season, and every morning growers are waking up to mold in their colas wondering if they should chop early or fight it out.

That’s why we put together a free Bud Rot Survival Guide.

🚨 A New York testing lab just got slapped with a $2M fine and a 3 year ban for passing tainted product as safe.

Here’s the real problem: there are no national testing standards. That’s why THC numbers are inflated and shady product slips through.

For home growers, this is the reminder… when you grow your own you control everything. No fake labels. No mystery chemicals. Just clean plants, your process, your standards.

At Green Zone we even offer hobby THC testing for $25 so you can check your numbers and see the truth for yourself.

Most growers are wasting money on bloom boosters… here’s the dirty truth.

Boosters only work in that short mid-bloom sweet spot. Use them too early or too late and you’re frying plants, not building buds.

Bud rot season is here and it can wipe out your harvest in days.

Once you spot those gray, mushy patches, that bud is toast. The key is acting fast: cut it out, bag it, and trash it far from your garden. Wipe your scissors like a surgeon to stop spores from spreading.

Prevention is the real win. Weekly sprays with The Amazing Dr. Zymes knock down spores before they take over. It will not fix what is lost, but it will protect the rest.

Stay sharp out there New England growers. Share this with a friend who needs the reminder. Also, drop a comment below if you’ve ever had to deal with bud rot. ✌️

White powder on your leaves? That’s powdery mildew, and it’s the number one crop killer growers underestimate. Left unchecked, it can cut your yield in half. Spores travel through the air like smoke… one infected leaf today can turn into your whole garden tomorrow.

Most people think it only happens outdoors, but tents with poor airflow get hit just as bad. Others think it’s game over once you see it, but early sprays can save your plants. And not every white dust is mildew… sometimes it’s just residue.

In veg, Lost Coast or Trifecta can work. In bloom, skip the oils and stick to Dr. Zymes or EPM. Both are safe right through harvest. Don’t skip your Caterpillar Killer either, unless you’re ready to find a worm jacuzzi in your buds.

Catch it early. Spray smart. Protect your harvest.

Every lady needs a strong pole. If you missed the window for cages earlier this season, don’t worry. September is still the time when branches get heavy and can snap. A few bamboo stakes, some clips, or a net can save you from losing flowers right before harvest.

We’ve got four, six, and eight foot poles along with ties, clips, and netting in stock. Simple support now makes for a smoother finish later.
