HOW IT ALL BEGAN…

The founders of KALIX, Reny Townsend and I, Orion Tang, first met in our small town elementary school in the Emerald Triangle of California. For decades, the two of us grew cannabis in caves, basements, attics, and our grandparents’ garages, developing our own unique growing styles and inputs to improve quality and yield while lowering cost per gram. It’s safe to say if it’s got walls and a roof, we’ve used it to grow cannabis.

After using many different nutrient programs within various growing environments, we at KALIX have developed a responsive cultivation strategy, enhanced by our customizable inputs, that results in optimized yields and improved quality.

We learned throughout our 8 years at the Hard Knocks Academy for Legacy Growers and hours spent cohorting at trim parties, trading ideas for improving each harvest. Like all cultivators, we’ve had our ups and downs. Once, a goat ripped through our harvest after climbing through the basement window. Another time, a massive flood swept through the attic of our house while grandma was visiting. Then of course there are your basic run of the mill emergencies; teardowns two weeks before harvest, environmental issues resulting in powdery mildew that ruined entire crops, persistent bug infestations, and, of course, nutritional irregularities due to improper mixing by well known fertilizer companies. We like to think we’ve seen it all.

Necessity is known as the mother of invention, and the saying held true for us. We began creating products that helped us to achieve our goals. We refined our strategy through testing and diligence. In 2009, our first company, RAW NPK Industries, was born into the cannabis-specific nutrient space, allowing us to provide cultivators with clean, simple inputs in their purest form. Our model and product proved successful, and as productions grew and scaled we knew it was time for us to do the same. In 2017, we introduced KALIX. KALIX: Nutrients to reshape the industry by improving yields, maximizing quality, and minimizing cost per gram.

Utilizing tools such as our in-house laboratory and leaf tissue testing allows us to know exactly what the plant’s nutritional needs are throughout its life cycle. All cultivars require different inputs. We customize the feed program as necessary to maintain peak performance at every stage.

The resulting harvest is maximized by responding to environmental and nutritional cues, based on measurable data, and steering the plant to its optimal state.

Introducing Kalix

In our indoor hydroponic facility, our happy plants are fed exclusively with KALIX Nutrients, and they regularly test at over 40% total cannabinoids. Our in-house training and outstanding customer service is here to help commercial cultivation facilities hit these marks, optimize quality, and lower cost per gram.

We can measurably demonstrate the quality of cannabis grown with KALIX Nutrients. Our business is a labor of love not only for our founders, but also for our cultivators and team members, who are as passionate as we are (and have been since our humble beginnings in caves and attics).

Our job as cultivators is to provide everything the plant needs to maximize its hormone responses in each stage of its life cycle while minimizing all other stresses. This is a delicate dance, made possible with our strategy and KALIX Nutrients.

THE TRUTH IS…

Growing cannabis is farming, and farming is no easy task. Every day we work with living things which are significantly impacted by their environment and their ability to uptake nutrients. We provide clean, simple formulations backed by a proven system, making it easier to deliver optimal nutrition.

Consumers today expect consistent, high quality cannabis. Commercial cultivators must seek out effective, cost efficient inputs to meet this demand. This drives competition and innovation in the market.

KALIX is up to the task. Take the guesswork out of growing. We will use our cost-balanced, science backed strategy to lead our fellow cultivators to success. Let KALIX be your guide.
