+Partnership Inquiry: Hydroponics Content Sites
+
+--- EMAIL BODY ---
+To the Heavy 16 Team,
+
+My name is Indiana Holmes, and I run a pair of hydroponics resource sites — hydros.thetempleofdoom.com and purehydro.thetempleofdoom.com — dedicated to helping growers navigate nutrient selection, system setup, and cultivation best practices. I've long admired Heavy 16's reputation for premium, artisanal formulations and the no-compromise approach your team brings to professional plant nutrition. My sites attract a growing audience of serious home and craft growers who are actively researching nutrient brands, and I believe Heavy 16 would resonate strongly with them.
+
+I'm reaching out to explore a potential partnership or sponsorship — whether that's product samples for hands-on review content, sponsored grow diary features, or brand integration across my guides and articles. My readers trust my recommendations because they know I only stand behind products I've personally run, and Heavy 16's streamlined, potent line is exactly the kind of system I'd want to showcase.
+
+I'd love to discuss what a collaboration might look like. If there's a better contact on the marketing or brand team for this kind of inquiry, I'd appreciate being pointed their way.
+
+Best,
+Indiana Holmes

+=== NOTES ===
+- Heavy 16 is now a Hydrofarm brand; Aaron Berkowitz (founder) stayed on post-acquisition.
+- No dedicated partnership/marketing email found publicly; info@ is the gateway.
+- Contact page has a form with inquiry type dropdown including "Grower seeking samples" and "Retailer interested in carrying" — the "Other" option fits sponsorship/partnership.
+- Small team (11-50 employees per ZoomInfo), so info@ likely reaches someone relevant.
