They currently have about $3,000,000 in outstanding orders, but they are waiting for final approval from health Canada.... Ill put up some DD for you on why sales have been slow. Theres a VERY good reason

Recent tweet...

GRO3 Canadian deals progressing well. Project partner continues to forge ahead on business plan and make final push from Stage 6 license status. AMFE considering making private investment in facility as stake in project for company and shareholders. Details to be announced.

(repost) ONE sale validates GRO3's potential. When they collect on the first order, we will witness the "Amazing Chase"... because right now GRO3 is valued at ZERO under this market cap. Snakes alone is worth more than this valuation. We are only trading 3X revenues, NOT factoring the high margin game launches, franchising, mass retail orders, etc, which are coming. The Q reports will climb nicely from now until Christmas imo

AMFE is a great value right now, because of the heavy negatives and delays, but these days will pass and we will make a significant gain when the self published high margin games are popping up in retailers around the WORLD, not just Canada.

AMFE is a strong buy here... but when GRO3 is VALIDATED by $$$ in the bank, we will see a second sub start piling onto the valuation and attracting waves of new investors, who will then see what they are doing with Snakes! Thats when this stock changes lives... all of the current BS will pass. Theres far more upside than downside imo, from the game launches alone

GRO3 + Roto Gro has a darn good shot at becoming the market dominating combo... and AMFE is planning to invest in the first facility which will use this Combo.

In a year or two from now, this grower might set the standard for all MJ production and we will be invested in it, early... They could destroy Canopy, Aurora, etc, unless they start buying systems as well! MJ margins are getting tighter and tigher and a large confiscation(s) could crush a company overnight... Even if a grower doesn't use chems, they might fail for mold, bugs, mildew, bacteria, etc. GRO3 non toxically solves ALL of these issues. Its an insurance policy.

Gro3 + Roto Gro (4 pics): A marriage of next gen tech, which creates the most advanced ORGANIC growing machine. Highest yield/quality, lowest cost, stackable, fully automated/controlled with a mobile device and chemical free/organic. A possible future market dominator

[User-65225]

(repost)Why would someone pay an EXTRA $XXX,XXX for something they can solve for a couple grand using toxic chems, UNLESS they are FORCED to search for alternatives?

Do you remember in the 90's when people complained about having to pay an extra $1,000 for a car with an airbag? No one wanted one "too expensive"... Now, because of government regulations, no one even mentions it. They're in every car

There is no greater salesman than government regulations and the MJ sector is YOUNG. These issues are just starting... The testing laws have not even begun!

July 1st this all changes, within the largest MJ grower market... and the other states will soon follow Californias lead

“Buyer Beware” as California Starts Recreational Marijuana Sales without Pesticide Residue Testing
(Beyond Pesticides, December 20, 2017)

https://beyondpesticides.org/dailynewsblog/2017/12/buyer-beware-california-starts-recreational-marijuana-sales-without-pesticide-testing/

The California Bureau of Cannabis Control’s (CBCC) emergency rules implementing its legal cannabis market phases in quality testing for cannabis throughout 2018. However, when shops open on January 1st, retailers will be allowed to sell cannabis products without laboratory testing for pesticides or other contaminants, though they will have to be labeled as such. Any cannabis products harvested after January 1, 2018 will be tested for “contaminants with a high public health risk.” By July 1, 2018, “moderate relative health risk” contaminants will be tested, and by the end of the year the state will include “minor relative health risk” testing, according to a fact sheet released by the CBCC. A list of what pesticides are considered under each of those categories is available on page 92 of CBCC’s emergency regulations.

California Pot Shots: Product Liability Is Coming

https://abovethelaw.com/2017/09/california-pot-shots-product-liability-is-coming/

I’ve practiced law in enough regulated cannabis states to know that quality assurance, testing, and protecting the public through total product perfection isn’t going to be easy or cheap, and it’s going to be mandatory if you want to keep your cannabis license. Still, even with your best quality-assurance game face, you may not (more like never) escape the toe catch that is products liability. And with California being such a litigious state, as the Wall Street Journal editorial board recently pointed out, it’s only a matter of time before even more plaintiffs start suing cannabis operators alleging defective, dangerous, or mislabeled products and Prop 65 violations.

Just the mere fact that my firm’s cannabis attorneys have written so many blog posts and articles on cannabis safety and cannabis product liability ought to tell you how truly important this issue will be in California once things truly get rolling here.

The Trouble With Marijuana Testing
By Joanne Cachapero - November 24, 2017

https://mgretailer.com/the-trouble-with-marijuana-testing/

For growers, avoiding the pesticide issue by implementing alternative pest-control methods increasingly may become the option of choice and most sustainable solution. Gaudino agreed, saying, “This means embracing alternate methods of protection, like integrated pest management.”

Will California’s Pesticide Regulations Hurt the Weed Industry?

No one is going to pay GRO3 prices until the government FORCES them to... which is about to start, per the independent DD.

If you fail the mandatory testing, your entire crop will be confiscated and burned

‘Unclean’ Cannabis More Than a Pest for the Cannabis Industry
Departments - From the Editor

http://www.cannabisbusinesstimes.com/article/unclean-cannabis-more-than-a-pest-for-the-cannabis-industry/

The past few months have not been kind to the cannabis industry when it comes to product safety. But fate is not to blame.

In February, a rare fungal infection believed to have originated from tainted medical marijuana killed a California man being treated for cancer, CBS Los Angeles reported. The cancer treatment weakened the man’s immune system, “but his death still surprised doctors because he was relatively young and his cancer was beatable.” When doctors learned he used medical cannabis to ease the treatment’s side effects, they tested 20 medical marijuana samples from across the state, finding that “the vast majority were contaminated with dangerous bacteria and fungi,” reported the CBS affiliate.

In October 2016, cannabis testing and analysis firm Steep Hill Labs reported that “84.3 percent of cannabis samples submitted in Steep Hill’s Berkeley lab tested positive for pesticide residues.” The main culprit was myclobutanil, which is used for prevention and control of mildew outbreaks. The chemical was present in over 65 percent of tested samples. When burned, myclobutanil converts into hydrogen cyanide, which is listed as a chemical warfare agent by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. There has been little improvement since then, according to the director of public relations at Steep Hill, Cathie Bennett Warner.

In November 2016, Oregon issued its second health alert “for marijuana contaminated with pesticides or pesticide ingredients, in this case three strains of marijuana flowers sold from dispensaries in Salem, Eugene and North Bend,” reported Oregon Live. The “tainted marijuana ended up on store shelves after apparently failing lab tests. Health authority officials are investigating why that happened. Producers are supposed to destroy the strains that fail pesticide tests,” the article explained.

In January, “Organigram, a publicly traded grower based in Moncton, New Brunswick, in Southeastern Canada, expanded a Dec. 28 recall of a small amount of product to include almost all of its cannabis buds and oils produced in 2016,” reported the Globe and Mail. Residual levels of two banned pesticides, myclobutanil and bifenazate, were found in the medical marijuana operation’s products, according to CBC News Nova Scotia.

Testing regulations are becoming more stringent in the United States and Canada, the latter of which, until recently, didn’t require mandatory testing. Health Canada changed its policy last month and “will begin random testing of medical marijuana products to check for the presence of banned pesticides after product recalls affecting nearly 25,000 customers led to reports of illnesses and the possibility of a class action lawsuit,” CBC News Nova Scotia reported.

I believe most cultivators wouldn’t intentionally put out a dangerous product. But the tragic death of the California man and the extremely discouraging test results are a wake-up call. Test your products even if regulations don’t require it. Make sure they are safe for human consumption. Legalization is supposed to help provide safe cannabis to the public, not endanger lives.

Organic?!... Many of these MJ growers claim to be organic and most of the time they probably are, BUT when they run into an outbreak issue and could lose big $$$, they quickly turn to chemicals to save their arse.

This is why having GRO3 installed is the ultimate insurance policy... When the heavy testing/regulations kick in, the risk of the government confiscating your entire crop, at the VERY end of the grow cycle, makes the investment worthwhile

Only 100 growers buying a $500,000 system (which is less that the recent order from 1 grower) = $50,000,000

... and they could do far more than this in California alone, which has 50,000+ growers... Many of them are small and/or grow outdoors, but thousands of them are large or will become large once its legal. Outdoor wont be able to meet demand for the entire year once its legal, so indoor operations will grow significantly and so will the scary stories and confiscations.

Jeffrey Raber, CEO of Washington state botanicals lab the Werc Shop, said the pesticide issue should not be underestimated: “In terms of consumer protection, pesticides are the number one issue right now in this industry. It’s right up there with banking, in terms of the challenges facing the industry.”

Heres the deal about Ozone, from my perspective... It is one of the most powerful non toxic oxidizers. It can prevent mold, mildew, bugs, bacteria etc with ease, but using too much can also harm your plants.

Ive talked to growers that use Ozone (small scale) and love it, but i also know growers that ruined crops because of not using it properly... and/or destroying the scent of the buds entirely by constantly pumping gas and not monitoring the PPM.

When used in an indoor area and PROPERLY dispersed, Ozone only needs to be used a short time to sanitize the room. Once everything has been eradicate and the doors are shut, theres low risk of an outbreak. Ozone kills contaminants on the walls, tools, in the water tanks, under the leaves, EVERYWHERE. Not even bleach or other pesticides can get everywhere, like Ozone can... With chems, you might kill mold spores on the plants, but they are still on your walls, etc

During the early stages you can run the ozone a lot, which is great for cloning!... but during the budding cycle if you constantly run it, you will eleminate the scent of the buds entirely.... You have to allow the Terpenes to grow and be encapsulated by the bud without Ozone constantly oxidizing them. Ozone should be used carefully, which is very hard to do with off the shelf ozonators.

GRO3 (AMFEs system) not only cleans the water in the water tanks (allowing water to be recycled), it also disperses the gas EVENLY throughout the greenhouse, around each plant, not allowing the gas to overdilute any one area, while monitoring levels constantly... and its all on a computer controlled schedule with remote access/monitoring. This makes it EASY and hassle free... One mistake with a makeshift ozone system and you can fry your plants. Ozone has many great uses, but like anything, too much can be harmful.

How Well Are Canadian Cannabis Companies Managing Recall Risks?
Chris MacDonald | August 29, 2017 | More on: HMMJ WEED

It seems as though news of recalls related to specific batches of bad marijuana from licensed Canadian producers has been coming in more frequently than marijuana investors and consumers would like to see.

Following a highly publicized recall which led to approximately $1 million of cannabis being destroyed by Canopy Growth Corp. (TSX:WEED) due to banned pesticides being found in product sold by its subsidiary Mettrum Ltd., a smaller Vancouver Island company, Broken Coast Cannabis Ltd., has issued a recall for three batches of dried cannabis sold last year.

The dried cannabis was recalled after a spot test done by Health Canada showed the producer used two banned pesticides, myclobutanil and spinosad, in its cannabis oil and subsequently found traces of myclobutanil in its dried cannabis, leading to the recall notice. Myclobutanil is the same pesticide which was found earlier this year in tainted batches of cannabis sold by Canopy’s subsidiary.

In a race to provide high-quality marijuana at the lowest possible price, concerns about industry-wide pesticide use have become apparent, as bugs and other pests can significantly eat into the profit margin of large producers. The reality of the cost benefit that pesticides can have on large “marijuana-culture” facilities has led some companies to use these banned substances to boost profits.

Many companies thus find themselves in “prisoner dilemma” situations in which choosing not to use pesticides may give competitors a cost advantage; this early in the game, cannabis companies are fighting and scratching for market share and profitability, and it may make economic sense for such companies to pay a fine and destroy a batch of cannabis due to the massive potential cost-savings the company can receive from using such pesticides.

The ethical questions surrounding how pot should be grown abound, and discussion on this topic remains somewhat muted. Should additional recalls come out of the woodwork, however, expect a much more heated debate down the road.

By looking at one Canadian ETF which tracks the publicly traded marijuana industry, Horizons Marijuana Life Sciences ETF (TSX:HMMJ), we can see that much of the rebound, which took place since the index bottomed a little more than two months ago, has been given up, with the index now trading near all-time lows amid somewhat stagnant investor sentiment and few growth catalysts and positive indicators for the sector, as previously seen in 2016 through the beginning of 2017.

It appears as though the market for marijuana issues has flattened out, making this potential headwind for producers much more distressing. I would expect industry-leading companies to continue to highlight the quality control measures already in place in an effort to reassure consumers and investors moving forward.

Stay Foolish, my friends.

“The greatest threat standing in the way of California’s march toward legalized marijuana isn’t Attorney General Jeff Sessions or Big Pharma. It’s the cannabis industry itself,” San Francisco Magazine reports:

“Much of the roughly $1 billion in cannabis sold in California’s 1,000-plus dispensaries every year is dirty.”

Amfil Technologies Inc. Announces That Our GROzone Product Line Passed Product Review by Accredited USDA Certifying Agent to Be Used In Organic Agricultural Production in California as Well as Pennsylvania and Surrounding States

TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - Mar 14, 2017) - Amfil Technologies Inc. (OTC PINK: AMFE) is pleased to provide the following update to the shareholders and the investment community regarding our GROzone subsidiary.

The GROzone product line recently received a positive review from Pennsylvania Certified Organic allowing their clients to use our GROzone product line in organic production. Pennsylvania Certified Organic (PCO) reviews products for clients located in Pennsylvania and the surrounding states as well as for the CCOF, (California Certified Organic Farmers) and now allows the CCOF clients to use the GROzone product line as well. PCO confirmed that our product line complied with the National Organic Programs (NOP) regulations and the outcome was the receipt of a positive review.

The USDA regulates the use of such terms as "organic" or "organically produced". In order to market a product as organic, USDA regulations require certification by an accredited certification agency. Pennsylvania Certified Organics certification program is accredited by the USDA for compliance with the National Organic Program. Since marijuana is still a federally illegal crop, the USDA currently does not recognize it as a crop that can be organically grown or called certified organic just yet. However being allowed to use the GROzone product line for any and all forms of what is currently deemed agricultural production is reassuring as marijuana cultivators that want to follow organic practices essentially follow the National Organic Program (NOP) guidelines. There are now alternate certifications being developed that could be applied for specific to the industry, through agencies such as the Organic Cannabis Association (OCA) or Clean Green Certified but all relate back to the NOP regulations and guidelines.

Achieving organic status and being able to label a product as certified organic, or in the case of the U.S. market, "Clean Green" or "Certified Kind" usually will allow the seller to demand a premium on the product. Even more importantly and in an industry such as the medical marijuana industry, it would help to ensure that the producer or manufacturer will never have product recall or product failure due to any elevated levels of harmful ingredients used throughout the grow process that can make them susceptible to liability from the consumer. A well known example of this is would be the recent issues in the media relating to residual pesticide contamination in end use marijuana products and the product recalls and lawsuits that have followed.

GROzone is a triple-function sanitization unit capable of naturally eliminating 99.9% of water and airborne pathogens and the typically problematic pests that wreak havoc for cultivators (such as aphids, whiteflies and spider mites), as well as bacteria, fungus, microbes and surface mold, all without the use of chemicals. The unit can also constantly regulate a given facility's water supply, oxygenating the water and maintaining a consistent PPM infusion of ozone that prevents the formation of algae, bacteria or mold (which allows for comprehensive water recycling). This completely eliminates the need to use pesticides and/or dangerous, often carcinogenic products to treat production problems, as is common throughout the industry today.

The GroZone System was originally developed in 2014 by way of a Joint Venture ("JV") with Ambrose Fillis and A.C.T.S. systems, the creators of the original ozone technology with successful installations in companies such as Pepsi, Nestle, Sysco, Sun Pacific and many others. Through the JV, the technology was modified and developed specifically for the medical marijuana industry. A.C.T.S. has recently rebranded itself under Advanced Ozone Integration Inc. (AOI) and as a result the original mPACT GroZone 60 system has been redesigned and engineered to make some upgrades that will benefit the overall end result of the product line. Our new product equivalent is now called the EcoPrO3 GroZone Antimicrobial System. Some of the upgrades include:

Unit is now all stainless steel.
Fully automated system with user friendly electronic interface making operational control very easy to use and the ability to have tighter control parameters.
Highly efficient in addressing most of the challenges facing grow-ops with regards to mold and pest control, more effective nutrient consumption, improved plant strength and quality.
Greater flexibility to scale systems up or down based on actual grow-op application requirements.
Ability to integrate/adapt into existing facility monitoring/control systems or develop independent systems where required
Ability to control/monitor via internet or remotely.
Amfil Technologies Inc. will supply pictures of and more detailed information on the new system through press and on the www.grozone.biz website in the near future once the new patent application on the technology has been submitted by AOI. We expect this process to be completed in the coming days.

Further updates with regards to on-going progress being made within our subsidiaries can be expected shortly.

The outstanding common share count of Amfil Technologies Inc. is 444,807,264 which is cumulative since its inception in 1985 as the company has never had any recapitalizations in its 32 year history.

Colorado’s agricultural agencies are in panic mode after several independent studies found dangerous levels of pesticides in marijuana products.

A CNN report published Wednesday found that at least one over-the-counter product tested positive for illegally high levels of the neurotoxin imidacloprid. CNN commissioned tests by an independent lab, and the report ultimately led to a recall of 2,362 pot products. A similar Denver Post study in September yielded similar findings — some of the cannabis products tested had as much as six times the federally allowed limit on pesticides in consumable products.

If the pesticides had been found on, say, avocados, the products would have been taken off the shelves immediately. But Colorado’s oversight of pesticides on marijuana has been limited, other than a handful of recalls and plant quarantines.

Colorado and other states that recently legalized marijuana are just beginning to grapple with the pesticide issue. An absence of federal regulation has left the states struggling to figure out how to pass pesticide legislation, how to enforce it and which agencies should be doing the enforcing.

Fungus In Medical Marijuana Eyed As Possible Cause In California Man’s Death

http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2017/02/06/medical-marijuana-fungus-death-uc-davis-medical-center/

These weren’t just any pathogens, they were looking at the very fingerprints of a killer.

“The cannabis was contaminated with many bacteria and fungi, some of which was compatible with the infections that I saw in my patients,” Tuscano said.

“Klebsiella, E.coli, Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter, these are all very serious infections for anybody in the hospital. But particularly in that population, the cancer population,” Thompson.

One of questions this raises is whether the risk is made worse by smoking, which could send pathogens directly into the lungs, which are particularly vulnerable.

Truth is, there’s really isn’t much research on any of this. “But we think now,” Thompson says, “with some of these patients, it’s really unknowingly self-inflicted form cannabis use.”

Cannabis, labeled medicinal, that could pose a lethal threat to already vulnerable patients.

(repost) GR03 DD/opinions: Their efforts to push the Gro3 system in the past fell flat because the testing laws were not in place... 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... which means theres 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 price 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.

[User-65225]

(repost) GR03 DD/opinion: When margins are shrinking (due to falling prices/flooded market), you have to run things perfectly to survive... Which means investing in the equipment that can prevent serious issues down the road...

It takes several months of invested labor, supplies, power, rent, etc just to see if you will pass the governments mandatory testing.

Sometimes growers will have problems with just a few plants and they can be removed, but killing the spores that are left behind is very important. Without using pesticides, fungicides, insecticides, etc, there is really no way to get them off the walls, equipments, out of the water tanks, etc, other than GR03... and it can be hard to keep perfect air circulation throughout a large facility. You might be able to circulate most of the room, most of the time, but plants can still shield moisture as they grow in size, esp in and around dense buds... Powerful lights/heat and water being used throughout, is the perfect recipe for moisture issues.

When California and other area starts mandatory testing, these pesticide/mold/bacteria/etc stories are going to get even more dramatic and scary. Consumers will rush to Organic weed... the higher costs consumers will be willing to pay for Organic weed, will justify GR03's price tag.

[User-65225]

(repost) GR03 DD/opinion: Our competition is organic type sprays, etc... but these are costly to apply all the time and do not ensure even coverage...

Also, when GR03 is used in a building, it kills mold spores, bacteria, bugs, mildew in every nook... The tools, water tanks, plants, walls, everything is decontaminated, without needing any labor...

It is very hard to keep EVERYTHING clean in a maturing facility... As time goes by, nasty things can hide all over the place, causing constant problems... can you imagine the labor to clean the walls, water tanks, etc, while trying to grow organic plants in there at the same time?... THIS is why companies have to resort to heavy chems, even if their intention was to be 100% organic. Toxic pesticides, fungicides and insecticides ENSURE the job gets done and the crop is saved... and they are relatively cheap to purchase.

MOST companies lie about being 100% organic, but with mandatory government enforced testing, this all changes. The pressure/costs/risks are increasing steadily for these growers... If you dont pass the testing, they confiscate your crop so it does not end up on the black market

Grow rooms often get mold, etc but its usually just with certain plants that aren't receiving enough circulation. As plants grow, they get denser and start to sheild moisture, which is how the problems begin... You can save or remove bad plants, but ensuring that ALL of the spores are destroyed within the building is very difficult without a system like GR03. Once there is one moldy plant, your growroom is contaminated. Spores are everywhere.

GR03/sector opinion: Imagine if you could go back in time and invest in liquor, bottles, caps, distribution, etc right before prohibition was lifted?... MJ is THE fastest growing sector in a looong time and its only going to get bigger.

During the gold rush it wasn't the miners that made the most money, it was the people that made/sold the picks, shovels and other supplies. You needed these items to get to the gold, it didn't matter if you found it or not!

GR03 is like the miners tools, because the sector needs it to get around the future MANDATORY pesticide testing laws (risk) and prevent government confiscation... It will also allow growers to label their MJ "organic", which will sell at a premium (gold)

All of these USA growers are driving down MJ margins significantly right now, so being ORGANIC is going to become a huge advantage towards separating companies from the herd. Growers are flooding the market, unlike Canada which isn't over issuing licenses... There will be money to be made in MJ cultivation, but only if you run a tight ship and buy all the equipment needed to minimize risk. One confiscation of a massive crop could bury a company...

IMO the big $$$ is in the next gen equipment needed to reduce costs and risks imo. MANY of these growers will fail, but not after buying lots of equipment!

... and choosing the right equipment, to achieve the most competitive margins, is EXTREMELY important. Hello GR03
