Catoctin Mountain Growers (CMG)
In 2020 through the present, JumpLights worked with with Catoctin Mountain Growers (CMG), a 15-acre greenhouse in Keymar Maryland, to replace their HPS lighting and provided supplemental greenhouse lighting. JumpLights installed hundreds of our NOVA Greenhouse lights to replace their HPS lights. This enabled Catoctin Mountain growers to decrease their turn time by 3 weeks!
