Hi Dawne,
I’ve been in the steel business for 40+ years - we work for multiple companies that use dryers, conveyors and tables etc. (rolling tables might be a slight variation from our normal course of business - it’s tables nevertheless). I would love to chat with you about your steel needs for new venture, please feel free to call anytime 705-789-9621

Hey Sam - I am green (pun intended) to this industry and I would like to work with you to learn about the hard equipment used in this industry. There is very little available for designs online, which makes me think that tables, benches, dryers and conveyors must be custom tailored to the application. I know for other factories that we work in, the equipment is specific, not only to the type of product but to the size of the facility.

Cheryl, can you reach me at 416-315-7477 or sam.kanes@blueoceannutra.ca and I will send you a schematic of a commercial gas infusion piece of equipment. The large ones look like swimming pool filters. They dissolve 1000 lbs/d of CO2. The smallest ones we are using for trials are only 2 by 18 inch tubes that dissolve 2 pounds/d of CO2 into 1000 pounds of water at 2000 PPM.

Thank you, Hunter.
I didn’t mention that I am also keenly interested in the philosophy of language.

Welcome @potPRguy! Got any good disaster stories to share? I always find those interesting and I love seeing it when a company handles the fallout well. Mistakes and issues happen to everyone, but it’s how you respond as a company that can make or break the situation.

We started our journey dissolving CO2 into water for accelerating plant veg growth in Tucson with Dr Fitzsimmons in 2009 with algae. Our first algae employee was Mike Mason from Tucson. Ready for Tucson cannabis CO2 grow trials now. Sam 416-315-7477.

My name is Jeff Foster and outside of being the Shoe Cover Guy, who makes it faster, easier, safer and cleaner to put shoe covers on and take them off with Shoe Inn’s revolutionary automatic shoe cover dispensing and removal system, I am passionate about road cycling (even went to the start of the Tour de France in Düsseldorf last year) and very much enjoy cooking.

I like the Laurie Anderson philosophy of language - it’s a virus from outer space. As a former anthropology student, it makes the most sense to me.

Hello, my name is Jocko, I work with Lodestone Data Technologies.
Thank you for the warm invitation to join!
Lodestone helps large scale cultivators manage their inventory by leveraging RFID chips on plants. Many government agencies are implementing seed to sale mandatory compliance requiring bar code scanners and data entry. The Lodestone platform automates the compliance piece using RFID readers. I am excited to hear how growers are tackling this issue and providing support!

Welcome @JockoFeehan! How small are the RFID chips, and how do you place them on the plants?

Thank you for the Welcome Hunter!
Many US States mandate using RFID chips from METRC,

our system will read their tags (about 1"x 2"). For non-METRC states we
offer our own small tags. The tags have a bar code and an implanted chip.
Most growers zip tie the tag to the plant container when growing indoors

We are creating some new varieties rich in CBG, THCV and CBDV for 2018. I’m a chemist and particularly interested in cannabis genetics, LED technology and cannabinoid science. I look forward to enjoying being in the community. Good to be here !

@DutchPassionTony Welcome to Growers Network! It’s nice to have a company familiar with the ins and outs of seeds on here! I know many growers like to clone, but breeding is just as important.
