HOUSTON, April 28, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Indoor Harvest Corp (OTCQB:INQD), through its brand name Indoor Harvest®, is a full service, state of the art design-build engineering firm for the indoor and vertical farming industry. The company provides production platforms, mechanical systems and complete custom designed build outs for both greenhouse and building integrated agriculture grows, tailored to the specific needs of virtually any cultivar. The Company is pleased to announce participation in the launch of a U.S. based Cannabis Case Study.
Indoor Harvest Corp and Hortistructure, Inc. will collaborate on a Case Study being conducted at The Green Company, a Tier 2 licensed production and processing company in Washington State. Chris Bayley, a master grower with over 25 years experience in cultivating cannabis, will lead the study with an attempt to summarize benchmarks for the next generation of commercial needs for scaled production. Cannabis-specific LED lighting will be supplied by Heliospectra of Sweden. Additional product manufacturers and service providers, including Airoclean420, Green Air Products, Hy-light Group and Trace Analytics, have signed on to take part in this Case Study with the summary and data to be published in Marijuana Venture Magazine, an industry-leading B2B trade publication. We anticipate concluding our series one harvest in mid-August 2016, with published results coming out the following month.
The Case Study will use Indoor Harvest's patent pending high-pressure aeroponic technology continuing with the Company’s participation in meaningful pilot projects over the last several years. The Company has previously completed two successful technology pilots with cannabis using illumitex® LED lighting in collaboration with Canopy Growth Corporation, a licensed producer of cannabis under the Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations in Canada. In addition to cannabis, the Company has previously conducted three technology pilots with various produce crops in-house and provided a smaller version of our commercial design to MIT's OpenAg, formerly MITCityFarm. In every application our system designs showed a dramatic decrease in fertilizer use and an increase in growth rate, biomass production and phytochemical content.
"This Case Study is a culmination of four years of R&D developing our aeroponic process for plant based pharmaceutical purposes. In addition to our technology and products showing a proven increase in extractable phytochemicals, when combined with LED lighting technology, we have seen up to an 80% reduction in costs of goods over more traditional production methods. Together with our strategic partners, we're going to continue to show the industry the compelling evidence supporting our business proposition that aeroponic production is the future of cannabis production," stated Chad Sykes, CEO and founder of Indoor Harvest.
Chris Bayley, owner of Hortistructure, Inc. commented, “As an industry, we are on the precipice of learning things about cannabis that we only dreamed about a few short years ago. With Indoor Harvest’s high-pressure aeroponic platform, we now have the perfect tool to begin doing some great research. This aeroponic system is so efficient, we anticipate near instant physiological plant responses to our environmental and nutrient stimuli. As a result, we fully anticipate generating and capturing real-time plant responses. Beyond that, it’ll be fantastic to push the boundaries when it comes to showcasing cannabis’ full genetic potential.”
