And we’re doing so by working directly with the people who have built this industry – and its culture – from the ground up.”

Luxx Lighting, based in Los Angeles, Calif., was started in 2017 by a group of hands-on southern California growers who include founders of the Jungle Boys cannabis brand. They sought to bring their growing expertise to the lighting market, constantly testing and innovating to find what works best. Hawthorne looks forward to an ongoing relationship with Jungle Boys to support the sales and marketing of the Luxx brand.

True Liberty Bags is a family-oriented business founded in 2009 in Sonoma County, Calif., initially to serve farmers, growers and vintners in the region and ultimately expanding into the #1 niche brand for cultivators.

The Hawthorne Gardening Company is the leading provider of nutrients, lighting and other durable and consumable products used in the indoor and hydroponic growing industry.
