Does indoor cannabis cultivation use more water than a 1.5–5 MW AI reuse?

An interactive, sourced comparison of indoor cultivation and a dedicated AI node. It separates onsite water from electricity-linked water, compares six U.S. climate regions with NOAA 1991–2020 normals, models dry and hybrid cooling with wet-bulb and humidity effects, and accepts vendor equipment curves. Site conclusions require metered data and engineering review.

• Home — UNICANN connects U.S. cannabis cultivation sites with buyers who need 1.5–5 MW dedicated AI nodes. Same building, same power—your data stays in the building.
• Facility owners — For indoor grow owners: check whether your powered facility could fit a complete change of use into a 1.5–5 MW dedicated AI node. Local worksheet, no uploads.
• AI buyers — For organizations with AI work that can’t leave: screen whether a converted cultivation facility could host a private 1.5–5 MW AI node on hardware you control.
• Capacity planner — Estimate the power, cooling, and space a private AI deployment needs—from a few racks to a 1.5–5 MW dedicated node—before committing to a site.
• Market intelligence — A disciplined screen for the next use of a cultivation facility: price pressure on indoor grows, the value of existing power, and when an AI conversion is worth a look.
• Models & hardware — Today’s leading open-weight AI models and the GPUs, memory, and per-setup power (kW) it takes to run them privately—plus a model-fit calculator for your power.
• Conversion roadmap — The six phases from cultivation facility to dedicated AI node: qualify, authorize, cease cultivation, verify the utility path, retrofit power and cooling, commission.
• Case study — An anonymized look at how a powered cultivation campus can be screened for a dedicated AI conversion—operations, utilities, logistics, and conservative phased costs.
• Verification standard — What UNICANN verification statuses mean: the G0–G7 evidence gates that separate a claim about a facility from a documented, reviewed fact.
• Water & power — Does an indoor grow use more water than a 1.5–5 MW AI reuse? Compare water and power by U.S. climate and cooling type with NOAA climate normals and cited studies.
