Hydro Builder is a precision 3D hydroponic system designer that combines fluid physics simulation, VPD and thermodynamics modeling, and CAD export — helping growers, hobbyists, and commercial operators plan their systems correctly before they buy a single part. Grodan substrates are the foundational layer of any well-designed hydro setup, and integrating your product data directly into the planning workflow — recommended media specs, saturation curves, slab layouts — would give our shared audience a seamless path from blueprint to grow tray while positioning Grodan directly at the point of design decision. The platform already serves a growing community of commercial growers, urban farmers, and horticulture labs who use it to avoid costly plumbing and environmental mistakes before breaking ground. I'd love to explore what a sponsorship or integration partnership could look like — whether that's an affiliate arrangement, co-branded content, or product data integration that puts Grodan inside every design exported from the tool.

It's essentially the CAD of hydroponics — and no other tool like it exists. + +Here's why Jack's × Pure Hydro is a natural fit: + +• **I already run your line.** My feed charts are built around 3-2-1. I've been using it for years and know it cold — the ratios, the Ca:Mg balance, the mixing order, the elemental breakdown. This isn't a pitch from someone who skimmed a label. + +• **I mentor growers who buy nutrients.** Every student in my mentorship program gets a full feed schedule built around Jack's. Your products are the baseline recommendation. + +• **The Builder app can integrate Jack's directly.** I can build a Jack's 3-2-1 feed schedule preset into the parts library — giving every Builder user a one-click path to your products, mixing instructions, and target EC/PPM ranges. + +• **I publish real data, not fluff.** pH curves, EC tracking, tissue test results, side-by-side comparisons. I document results the way your lab would — with numbers, not hype. That kind of content sells product to serious growers. + +• **I run a podcast and publish detailed guides.** Jack's gets featured organically. A formal partnership just amplifies what I'm already doing. + +I see you have the Community Impact Donation Program and the research/instructional programs — those are great. What I'm proposing is different: a commercial partnership or ambassador relationship where I function as a technical evangelist for Jack's in the controlled-environment cannabis and hydro space. + +What I'd be asking for: product support (nutrients) and ideally direct access to your technical team for the deeper questions. + +What you'd get: content, product integration in a tool that serious growers use, direct recommendations to active buyers, and real engineering-level feedback on how 3-2-1 performs in custom sterile hydro rigs. + +I'm not a lifestyle influencer looking for free bags. I'm a builder who ships — and your nutrients are a core part of what I build with. + +Would love to hop on a call, show you the Builder, walk through my current grow, and talk about what makes sense.
