GROzone DD: Their efforts to push the GZ system in late 2015 fell flat because the testing laws were not in place back then... Growers didn't run the risk of having their whole crop taken by the government. They could sell as much moldy/pesticide laced weed as they wanted, unabated... but not anymore.
These systems are not cheap, but when you compare to the cost of growing for months, paying employees, power, etc and having your ENTIRE crop seized by the gov at the very end, it doesn't seem so expensive anymore. This is a multi billion dollar sector, you gotta pay to play wisely. Half ass grow rooms will no longer be tolerated for retail...
The bigger the grow room, the harder it is to monitor... I assume theres also a greater chance of unwanted outbreaks and having to use large amounts of pesticides, which could cause your weed to fail the mandatory testing, by an INDEPENDENT lab... The big dogs will pay these prices easily. It could be the silver bullet that solves the #1 concern in the sector... Grower will be able to use an "Organic" label because they use no chemicals to combat mold, mildew, bugs and bacteria... This is the same reason why Ozone is used so heavily in the food industry...
This could prove to be one of the best MJ plays long term, with sky high growth potential for multiple subsidiaries... There are 50,000+ growers in JUST California and they will have to start testing by 2018...
The cost is anticipated to be priced very affordably to attract all personal production licensees at between $2499 and $2999 a unit. Commercial units range from approx. $50k to $1M depending on the customization, facility specifications and needs. These units can be used for any indoor or outdoor contained growing environments.
