Montréal, Québec, Canada, August 26, 2024 - Sollum Technologies is thrilled to contribute to a significant expansion of the Cannabis Research Coalition's (CRC) research capabilities through a groundbreaking partnership. This collaboration marks a major milestone in the cannabis cultivation research sector, as CRC introduces Sollum®’s dynamic lighting solution into its new facilities.
During a recent site visit, Sollum Technologies and CRC celebrated the ongoing development of 1900 sq. ft. of research space, including 16 dedicated R&D chambers. These chambers will be fully equipped with Sollum’s dynamic LED lighting, including AI-powered SF-PRO™ fixtures connected to Sollum’s SUN as a Service® platform. Both work together to simulate the cycle of natural sunlight and provide precise control over light spectrums to optimize cannabis growth conditions and achieve desired product qualities.
"Due to limited university funding, the CRC stands as one of the few reliable sources for science-based cannabis research," said Allison Justice, PhD, CEO of CRC. "The generosity and support of our industry partners have been crucial in expanding our research initiatives. With Sollum’s partnership, we aim to conduct cultivation research that makes the cannabis industry more sustainable, profitable, and safer."
"Sollum Technologies is excited to partner with the Cannabis Research Coalition in their pursuit of advancing cannabis cultivation research," said Matthew Bonavita, Sollum’s Senior Sales Director for the U.S. market. "By integrating our state-of-the-art dynamic LED lighting solution into CRC research facilities, we are confident this will yield significant insights and innovations. Together, we aim to set new standards for sustainable and efficient cannabis cultivation, benefiting the entire industry."
This partnership underscores the importance of collaboration between industry leaders and research institutions in advancing the field of cannabis cultivation. The enhanced facilities will enable CRC to push the boundaries of cannabis science, providing immediately applicable insights for cultivators and leading to more sustainable cultivation methods and protocols.
