CO2 GRO Inc. (CVE:GROW) (OTCQB:BLONF) (FRA:4021) has announced the commercial feasibility of a CO2 Delivery Solutions system at a Quebec indoor micro cultivation facility.
The company noted that the customer's facility has flower grow rooms with vertical wall racks that produce high quality, high yield and low-cost cannabis products.
The commercial feasibility will occur in a vegetative grow room and in a separate flowering grow room. Objectives in the vegetative grow room are to assess growth acceleration to the start of flowering. Objectives in the flowering room are to assess the increases in Cannabis bud yields, micro-pathogen resistance, and the CO2 gas savings from aqueous CO2 misting versus atmospheric enrichment by CO2 gassing.

In a statement, Aaron Archibald, CO2 GRO's VP Sales and Strategic Initiatives commented: "We are excited to get underway with the customer at its unique vertical design facility. Our CO2 Delivery Solutions can be adapted to all indoor plant growth designs. They are ideal for enhancing the customer's vegetative plant growth and pathogen resistance while showcasing a reduction of CO2 gas used in their flowering rooms by over 90%. Smaller facilities like the customers pay much more per pound for delivered CO2 than larger square foot facilities making our system's CO2 savings benefit very attractive.'

It creates a saturated CO2 solution that when misted onto plants provides growers that cannot gas with CO2 the opportunity to increase plant yields by up to 30% and profits by up to 100%.
