MTV ’ s Cribs features the swanky houses and mansions of celebrities . The good folks at Growers Network felt they could bring a similar show to the cannabis realm , so the network created Canna Cribs , which offers an in-depth look at some of the world ’ s largest and most sophisticated marijuana grow operations .

Nick Morin , CEO of Growers Network and creator of Canna Cribs , saw an opportunity to fill a hole in popular cannabis culture that would entertain and educate anyone who was into marijuana . “ Canna Cribs was born out of necessity . I saw a major void in TV entertainment for cannabis growers ,” says Morin . “ What do growers watch when they come home from work ? Imagine if there was a show for cannabis professionals , like Shark Tank for entrepreneurs . Growers need entertainment that is equally interesting and educational . This inspiration sparked a creative conversation over a bowl with my roommate Nate ( Lipton ), the host of Canna Cribs . We brainstormed the episodic story arc and potential episodes for Season 1 .” The first season of Canna Cribs is well underway with a crew of 10 people working on the show from production to post-production , all of whom are passionate about cannabis and the industry . Canna Cribs began as a YouTube web series , but anyone interested in watching it on their TV can find and stream it on Apple TV , Roku , Amazon Prime , and other streaming boxes . Naturally , producing a new show on a shoestring budget comes with its fair share of challenges , including where to find some top-shelf grooves for the Canna Cribs soundtrack . “ The biggest challenge in post-production is getting access to popular music to use on our soundtrack ,” says Morin . “ Who knew licensing music was so expensive ?” Aside from having to use royalty-free tunes , it ’ s easy for the crew to get fully absorbed in the massive grow operations they ’ re featuring . The second episode of Canna Cribs toured Spokane ’ s Phat Panda , a massive 60,000 square foot weed-growing facility .
