The legal cannabis industry is exploding with nearly 60% of Americans now living where they can legally obtain marijuana in some way. Financial analysts believe that cannabis will be a multi-billion dollar industry in a few short years, potentially creating hundreds of thousands of jobs. In Colorado, where both recreational and medical cannabis are legal, there are already nearly 3,000 licensed businesses related to the growing, processing, and selling of the plant.

As with any booming business, tools to make the daily management of everything from accounting to advertising are needed. The fact that cannabis remains illegal on the federal level means that entrepreneurs in the canna-biz must extremely organized in order to remain within the eyes of their individual state’s laws. Section 280E of the tax code forbids many common deductions that a marijuana business may have, meaning expenses must be tracked diligently. Additionally, the growing of cannabis can be hard work; breeding, flowering time, and nutrients must all be individually tracked.

Fortunately, there are many cannabis apps popping up designed to make running a canna-business a tad bit easier. Read on for our curated list of must-have mobile apps for cannabis professionals.

GrowBuddy

Anyone who has ever cultivated cannabis knows that it takes a lot of meticulous planning, attention, and effort. GrowBuddy is a  powerful mobile app tracks the development of each plant in your operation, whether there are two or 2,000. This cannabis app shows harvest comparisons, nutrient schedules, cloning records, and more – it’s definitely a must for any grower.
