The tweet? I just thought "Hey, free publicity!"
The board blames everything (rightfully) on GTINSPECTOR
ROFL. I love Neil! I don't think it was the cause, but hey, playing Neil is certainly going to improve all sorts of things!
"AMFE" I cried
"AMFE" said I
So I bought shares and
Now I see bright blue sky!
Leavin' me richer still
Both 420 models are the same size

The main difference is the add-on features, mainly the software.
They do have a third, smaller capacity machine--the 312--which holds (you guessed it) 312 plants.
Attacking the pesticide issue from both sides.
Consumers seem to be of the opinion that big companies will do what they want and get away with what they can, and the poor end user really can't do much about it. Big corporations are a law unto themselves, surely?
They certainly seem to be, but the consumer has a very simple means of defeating the big companies without letters to their politicians with the hope they spark interest. Companies exist only because they have a market to operate in; they rely on customers for profit, and advertising to acquire and hold on to a customer base. The customer base is also, however, the company's Achilles' heel, and that fact is often overlooked by the average consumer. The easiest way to change the bahaviour of a company is to stop purchasing its products or services. If enough people do this, the company is forced to conform.
And so it is with the MJ consumer. If, given a choice between a product that has even neglible (read 'safe') amounts of pesticide, and one that has no trace of one (all else being equal), then producers of chemically-grown products should really consider protecting their heels. Educated consumers will, imo, opt for the clean product. If I am using this to improve my health, why settle for anything less? Or more, if you consider that pesticide, fungicide, etc. is an add-on!
For this reason, AMFIL needs to educate the end user. They don't have to go into detail about how their products works--the fact that is breaks down completely into oxygen is enough for most--but as soon as the consumer knows that they have a choice, and one that they weren't even aware of before, it will be enough--particularly if they start to question the dispensary (they shouldn't be forgotten either, AMFIL!). I know we, on the board, are more than familiar with the issues surrounding MJ production, right now, but how informed is the average consumer? Certainly the dispensaries are not going to educate them unless they have a reason to, such as only supplying GROZONE-produced product and wanting to stand out from the competition.
With consumers avoiding product that is not 100% pure, growers will be forced to change their grow methods, and right now there is no alternative but to opt for GROZONE.
The other focus for AMFIL is the grower themselves. THEY are certainly aware of the problems with additives, but are they keen to invest a lump some in an unfamiliar technology? I think that it would be harder to convince some growers directly, than it would to have them convinced by the occasional (hopefully rare) rejection by the state over 'contaminated' crops, and the sheer might of an educated public.
So, for me, it's a double-pronged attack: market to the growers, and educate the consumers.
Kick A$$, AMFE!
Growers upset about regulations?
1. They haven't heard of GROZONE
2. They think that it's not as effective
3. They feel it's cost prohibitive
4. They are old dogs
5. They are not in touch with the consumer
Etc., etc.
They should be rushing to be the first to install GROZONE! The ones leading the pack are going to be the first choice for the end user if they can guarantee not only 100% organic, but residue free, also.
I don't care HOW 'safe' any residue on my plant is--if I have the choice of that or GROZONE-grown weed, I know which one I'd choose. I think the marketing needs to also be directed at the consumer. They would influence the dispensaries with their demands, and so on up the chain.
I know I'm preaching to the converted here, but that news baffles me a little.
Since I purchased my first share in AMFE...
...I haven't actually seen any bad news.
If, as you say, it's typical for bad news comes out on a Friday, that certainly doesn't seem to be the case with AMFE.
VanessaM, help me understand, please?
"If, lets say Monday news is good, validating pps current level..."
PPS has dropped the past couple of days. You are suggesting that the current price is 'good' based on the idea that Monday's news might be good. Surely if we were anticipating good news, the price would have risen (notwithstanding any MM's attempt to devalue the stock). Please can you explain how potential good news can validate the current PPS?
"...overvalued in my opinion..."
Why do you feel that it is overvalued? Is your opinion based on anything?
"If, lets say Monday news is good...do you see steady decline...?"
Why would the stock decline further after good news (again, ignoring any manipulation)?
"...steady decline or will it feed the shorts for a while...?"
(My emphasis.) Your 'or' suggests that either the stock will see a rapid decline, or a steady or rapid increase (instead of the steady decline). Which of these three alternatives would best feed the shorts if, based on what you said, a steady decline doesn't feed them?
Genuine questions here. I am relatively new to all this, and keen to learn as much as I can, even if it's simple stuff like the basis of opinions.
Many thanks!
Britain--It's about f'ing time!
The British fight against medical marijuana restrictions wins its first battle.
It had to start somewhere, and this will, undoubtedly, take the UK down the same path as the US, Canada, Aus, etc., etc. Another market opening up for GROZONE/Roto-Gro, as the British weather isn't too friendly when it comes to outdoor cultivation. And unlike the big ol' US, space is more of a concern when it comes to indoor growing.
It had better be clean!

Amfil, don't forget the dispensaries!
Make flyers available to dispensaries that stock products grown using the GroZone technology. Consumers want the best product available, and dispensaries are also going to be pushing the growers to produce quality MJ. Help them advertise the fact that that's what they supply and educate them on the technology so that they can pass the information on to the consumer (if you need a corporate trainer, hit me up ;) )!
ANY use of chemicals during the grow process is going to be a gamble. The GroZone tech is going to do for growers what it's doing for us, as shareholders--pretty much eliminating risk. Yes, the units can be expensive, but the grow facilities that need the million-dollar units are going to be the ones who can afford them, and can't afford to be without them.
The stories coming out about the problems being caused by the use of chemicals sprayed onto the plants, 'organic' or otherwise, is a double-edged sword. It's absolutely tragic that someone has lost his life to (potentially) 'bad' product, but the MJ industry has been walking on eggshells for a long time, now, and if it's going to be nationally accepted (93% of Americans support legalisation of medical marijuana, according to a February Quinnipiac Poll), it has to start out on the right footing. The costs associated with 'getting it wrong' are going to be far higher down the line, if growers don't adopt best practices from the start.
There are few 'medicines' as talked about as MMJ, and so many people are waking up to the benefits of it, that it needs to prove itself in more ways than just it's medicinal benefits. How many prescription meds list side effects potentially worse that the disease you are trying to cure?Side effects of MMJ? Drowsiness, euphoria, dry mouth, etc., so long as you don't factor in possible chemical side effects, which growers, dispensaries, and consumers absolutely don't want to have to worry about.
To me it's pretty obvious what growers need to do, and they need to do it fast--2018 isn't that far away. And even if GroZone were the ONLY product Amfil had under its hat, we could feel just as confident buying shares i the company as we do now.
Thank you, $$AMFE.
yup, they are
I had issues with my L2, too.
I don't think other companies have a choice.
If they don't get in on the ground floor with the GROZONE tech, they'll drop too far behind, as every grower that wants the best for their crops will be chasing systems that offer our tech. Integration means easy scalability.
Cannabis Testing Regulations
State-by-state guide.
This was posted on Leafly, in February, and shows the different regulations set out by states as far as product testing goes. Alaska (for example) requires that...
"...a marijuana cultivation facility shall provide a sample of each harvest batch of marijuana produced at the facility to a marijuana testing facility, and may not sell or transport any marijuana until all laboratory testing...has been completed."
That's EACH BATCH. Consider how much money could be lost if just one batch tested positive for mold, for example. The other thing to think about is the spread of mold from one batch to the next--mold spores can be carried by the breeze caused by the fans growers use on their crops. So even crops not ready for harvest could show early signs of mold if they are located near an infected batch.
The cool thing about the GroZone system is that is also cleans the air, killing the mold spores 'mid flight', and thus avoiding issues of cross contamination.
Yet there will still be growers out there who think that not investing their money in a GroZone system is a gamble worth taking.
Kick A$$, AMFE!
Oh, it was no bother :)
Though I have to be honest I'm not sure what the bother would have been about!
Love it!
(Oh, you Canadians!)
Omega Gardens, from a tech POV, fits.
They do have an interesting heading on their homepage:
Say goodbye to pesticides and herbicides!
But the 'more' link takes you to a 404.
Their focus is certainly not on the MMJ industry, however--their website suggests that their market is in 'food' production: lettuce, peppers, tomatoes... tho' I struggle to imagine larger plants with loose-hanging fruit, such as tomatoes, holding up well to growing in a rotary system like that. The site said that staking and a 'little tender care will go a long way." Really??
An article in Popular Science also mentions Omega Gardens, but it's really not particularly well thought out:
"But not all plants respond well to hydroponic methods. Some, such as potatoes and citrus trees, need to set root in a semisolid medium, like soil or coconut fiber. The design here, by the Canadian company Omega Garden, does just that. In this Ferris-wheel-like growing system, plants grow in porous, vermiculite-stone-filled trays arranged in a cylindrical cart that rotates to periodically dip each row of plants in a nutrient trough."
Root vegetables are not suitable for this technology, as the growing medium is contained in baskets approx. 3 inches cubed. Not going to get many potatoes in there. And citrus trees? LOL. One would also need to ask: just how cost-efficient is it to grow a relatively cheap product, such as lettuce, using that technology?
Rotary hrodponics is ideal, however, for marijuana plants. They thrive in a hydroponic setup, and the rotary nature of the grow means that the plants strengthen due to the fact that they fight gravity as they turn. Typically growers use large fans to strengthen the plants (as the plants flex, the cell structure changes, making the stems stronger) in order to be able to hold up the relatively heavy bud.
RotoGro is certainly not shy when it comes to advertising the fact that their systems are primarily directed at the MJ industry. I can't find information right now on their current customer base, though I am sure it's out there, or on here. ;) Good ol' Rocket!
Kick A$$, AMFE!
Someone heard you :)
Nintendo of Canada's PR department reached out to Snakes & Lattes Inc. to potentially partner up to create 'game nights' at the Snakes & Lattes Inc. locations to help promote and showcase the recently launched Nintendo Switch gaming console and the new game 1-2 Switch. This is a popular and highly interactive party game that showcases the system's many unique features and impressive new technology. Updates will be forthcoming once we finalize the details.

JalbertoV I don't think you'll find anyone here...
...who would say 'No, it's not!'
Do your DD, but I would say 'yes', and I think I can say with much certainty that so would he, and him, and her, and him, and him, and her...
DF, would you kindly explain the 10200's
and 20400's? They keep getting mentioned but I've no clue as to why!
And who's Peter? :)
Welcome back, Clay!
Oh, for sure.
I'm just quietly waiting for all hell to break loose when the GZ news is out ;)
Thing with the patented GroZone tech is
that it guarantees chemical-free product, meaning 100%, non-disputable, organic weed (ignoring the growers who would be crazy enough to install the ozone system and then feed with crappy nutes!)
In a multi-billion dollar industry, that alone is priceless.
IMO, the GroZone side of AMFE is the biggest slice of the cake, in the next couple of years.
Congrats, Arroworange.
To quote Affinor...
"All plants are grown in their natural medium, organic soil, without the use of chemicals or pesticides."
(Kudos for not using pesticides or chemicals)
AMFEs announcement:
"TORONTO, ON--(NewMediaWire - Apr 21, 2017) - Amfil Technologies Inc. (OTC PINK: AMFE) is pleased to announce that we have jointly signed non-disclosure / confidentiality agreements with a large hydroponic systems manufacturer" (emphasis is mine)
Found out today that a friend had 4000 shares in Tesla back in 2012. She spoke to someone who said something that panicked her, and she sold them all.
Hopefully the gains made be AMFE will be similar to those made by Tesla ($30 in 2012 to over $300 now).
I think I'll hold on to mine very attractive AMFE :)
Thank you!
Passed on the name. Much appreciated.
Is there anyone from the UK here, that has shares in AMFE?
My brother is trying to get in, but cant figure out how to get hold of OTC-traded shares. Any ideas?
