Very nice to meet you Riley, that sounds really exciting about the energy efficient systems! We’re seeing a big trend in that direction already for lighting systems, would be very interested in knowing more!

Good morning and happy Wednesday everyone! Just a friendly reminder, we have an Ask Me Anything, or AMA, today at 11 AM with Gershom Spengler @gershom.spengler with the National Cannabis Risk Management Association today (long name, amazing results lol!) I’ve been chatting with Charlie Hunter @charlie.hunter with NCRMA now for a few months and got to know their organization a bit; they have some great services and offerings towards insurance and risk management, so if you’re in business or even thinking of starting a business, it’s a great resource to tap into with your questions! So we hope we see you there!
Here’s the link to where the AMA is taking place! See you at 11 am MST!

Hello, I’m Rebecca Knight with BIOS Lighting (https://bioslighting.com/icarus-overview/). I’m the Technical Marketing Director, however, my background is engineering and plant biology. I was a chemical/process engineer for 4 years in semiconductors, did my masters in biomass/biofuels, then switched into plant biology for my PhD where I studied gene expression changes and terpenoid biochemistry in response to wavelength and environmental stimuli. My interest has always been finding more efficient and sustainable ways to produce valuable compounds. I am very nerdy but I love teaching science and working with people… so here I am, in a dream job where my love of LEDs and innovation mixes with photobiology, energy efficiency, and compassionate care. I am always eager to discuss light, photons, photochemistry, etc. Thank you for this opportunity to introduce myself, I look forward to getting to know you all and learning together.

Hi I’m Cynthia (Cyndi) Finkenbinder, I’m a CPA in Colorado but have clients in 26 states and 4 countries. I love working with those in the Cannabis industry because you understand what is at stake when you don’t have your documentation making my job so much easier.
I’m married and have 2 adult children who are both married and 2 amazing granddaughters along with 2 dogs , 2 granddogs and 2 grandcats. I love to knit, bake and read and recently took up baking with cannabis which I’m still learning what works best.
I look forward to learning for all of you.

Good morning Elise and glad you made it here! 
Do you offer any odor-absorbing bags with your company?
2 Likes
Hi, We do not offer odor absorbing bags by itself, but we provide plastic pouches which are sealed, so the odors are contained that way.
Is there a specific need you would have on this ?

Even in legal states, you can get in your vehicle after a (completely legal) cannabis purchase and depending on the packaging, your cars going to smell like ganja. That’s not always desirable (even though it’s a pleasant smell.) There are dispensaries in Colorado Springs, for example, that package their flower in bags that could for all intents and purposes be called “a ziplock baggy,” which hardly is containing the smell.
There’s also a HUGE market of home growers that like products like “stink sacks;” what they put in those baggies and do with them afterwards is their business but there is absolutely a market for that type of product for end consumers as well.

Hi Jordan,
I have double check with our team on this issue. We do use a High Barrier film and we also have Tear Resistant options as well. It does adequately contain the scent and would need to be Heat Sealed to make the packaging tamper proof.
Hope that helps !

Hey Hunter ive been thinking about writing an article about Cannabis in Canada and mainly the legalization of marijuana recreationally in Ontario in July.
Theres alot of worries about the government entirely controlling all production and sales of marijuana and i think its important for the experienced and larger marijuana producing facilities to use their power to keep marijuana legal or decriminalized for production and sales of those outside of government run operations.
Otherwise there could be alot of experienced master greenthumbs in jail. Ontario will allow a single person possesion of an ounce and grow up to 4 plant but People caught producing or selling large amounts of marijuana can still face jail time and the penalties may get worse as an attempt by the government to fully control the weed game.
I really hope this doesnt happen and i dont want people like me or other growers in my privince to worry more then we already do about our plants.
Let me know if you want a draft for an article.
Thanks Hunter and thanks for the intro!
