The tissue culture plantlets will grow in their own unique environment and vertically stacked in layers. Each layer will have the right light recipe, an important component to growing medicinal grade cannabis from tissue culture starter plantlets for sale to CBD hemp farmers and/or Licensed Producers. Growing medicinal cannabis under the right conditions including light, soil and irrigation, can reduce or even eliminate the threat of genetic disease and airborne pathogens resulting in robust plants.

"This is the next step of our growth and development strategy," says Peter Wojcik, President and CEO of Pharmagreen Biotech. "Utilizing the latest LED technology, developed by Signify, enables us to produce highest quality, medical grade, cannabis starter plantlets and combined with the technologies of dimmable and changeable light spectrum allows us not only to dial into individual cannabis strains but also to grow any plant flora, thus making our business model recession proof."

"The right light can have a strong impact on the growth of crops," said Ries Neuteboom, Signify Business Development Manager North America. "Every plant is different and Pharmagreen has a specific idea of what variety they will grow. We're pleased to use our lighting experience to customize the light "recipe" to ensure the best light intensity and color spectrum to optimize growth, and work with our Horticulture LED partners Agrolux who are supplying the modules."
