3. LED Garden Lighting
Growing cannabis indoors often involves excessive amounts of heat and an electricity bill as much as one thousand dollars each month. While LED lighting has been around for a while in the indoor gardening arena, not until recently has the technology been optimized to yield larger cannabis plants. Lush LED Lighting is an innovative company looking to capitalize on advancements in the LED gardening market.
LED lights can reduce heat in your grow room by as much as 95% and your electricity bills, about the same. visit http://www.lushledlighting.com for more information.

2. Cannalock Smell Proof Bags
Discretion when traveling can mean the difference between arrest and staying safe for us cannabis consumers. Cannalock, a Michigan based company, claims their charcoal lined bags work much like chemical warfare suits (and from the same material) and Cannalock bags trap air and smells in, providing absolute smell detection from nosy neighbors and trained dogs.
Cannalock designer smell proof technology bags are like no others on the market. Cannalock bags are durable, hand crafted, reusable and absorb smells in a high quality fashionable manner. visit http://cannalock.com for more information.

1. mCig Vaporizer for Dry Herb
mCig, a publicly traded company, sells an e-cigarette-style product for marijuana, while at the same time is expanding into products that don’t involve pot at all.
E-cigarettes for marijuana are already widely available, but the mCig is different. It’s something of a hybrid between an e-cig and a joint, in that you can put “dry herb” in it and heat it to the edge of combustion.
“When you burn something, you burn about 50 percent of the material, whereas with this, you can turn off the power and nothing continues to burn,” said mCig COO Mark Linkhorst. “It’s very much more efficient than smoking it.” He said the mCig is less harmful than traditional smoking, and it can make the same amount of marijuana last twice as long.
The mCig is rechargeable and sells for the relatively low price of $10. It’s made in China.
“We believe that by disrupting the price, and being at the head of the line in innovation, we can sell it at a minimal profit, because we want to sell millions of the product,” said Linkhorst. Last quarter the company reported a small profit.
