Our family of top-tier brands, backed by innovative research and development, a strategic distribution network, and a responsive technical services team, is here to support you—from initial build-out designs to final harvesting equipment to anything in between.

Research & Development

We advance the industry through scientific trials and rigorous research, focusing on innovation and improvement. Our state-of-the-art facilities include test labs, greenhouses, grow rooms, a USDA-certified insectary, rain-out/drought shelters, and pilot-scale manufacturing sites. Our 50,000-square-foot research center in Kelowna, B.C., Canada, is the first purpose-built facility dedicated to cannabis and other high-value crop research.

Iconic Brands

Hawthorne offers a curated selection of over 85 signature, exclusive, and vendor brands to provide growers with the best science-backed solutions and performance-driven products. From legacy names that have been here from the start (Gavita, Can-Filters, General Hydroponics) to energizing newcomers who are shaking up the industry (Luxx Lighting, Mother Earth), our brand portfolio provides start-to-finish solutions for your entire grow.

Tech Services

Our tech services team of professional horticulturists, Ph.D.s, and engineers has 125 years of combined hands-on experience in Controlled Environment Agriculture. They’re here to help design, enhance, and troubleshoot every part of your grow, whether consulting on new or existing builds, integrating designs to optimize your grow, or providing product recommendations and in-field product trials.

Distribution

Our distribution network is designed to support direct-to-consumer and e-commerce businesses with speed, quality, and accuracy. Over the past year, we doubled our delivery fleet and added five new facilities in high customer demand areas, enabling us to achieve a target ship out time of 24 - 48 hours. With 3,000 product SKUs stocked across 12 distribution centers, we get you what you want, when you need it.

Rebates

We actively pursue new HVAC and LED rebate opportunities to help growers save money. We developed an exclusive partnership with the energy rebate experts at Seinergy to provide 1:1 rebate processing support to licensed grows. In 2021 alone, Seinergy helped Hawthorne/Gavita customers secure $6.5 million in cash-back rebates on brands like Gavita, Quest, and more.

Advocacy & Equity

To help foster an industry with opportunities for all, we created The Hawthorne Social Justice Fund with an initial internal investment of $2.5 million. The HSJF provides grants to organizations addressing racial, social, and economic equity through cannabis policy reform, outreach, training, and community initiatives. The HSJF has committed to sponsoring the John R. Lewis Social Justice Policy Fellowship Program within the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation—the first group of fellows to focus solely on cannabis policy issues.

At Hawthorne, we’re dedicated to pushing boundaries with innovative breakthroughs, providing complete grow solutions and outstanding support, and advocating for an inclusive and equitable industry with a vibrant, thriving future. We’re dedicated to growers. That’s why growers are at the center of everything we do.
