After nine years of designing and marketing custom-made Growtainers and providing consultant services for commercial clients worldwide, CEA Advisors has announced that it has formed a new division to focus on the cannabis Industry. Recently the company has completed the design process for the first competitively priced shipping container farm specifically designed and built for cloning and young plant production.
“Although I grew indoors many years ago, I spent more than a year discussing today’s technology and the specific requirements of this crop with industry experts and component manufacturers and when I was sure we could execute, we began the design and manufacturing process” said Glenn Behrman, founder of Greentech Agro LLC and CEA Advisors LLC.
Each fully equipped, plug and play 20-foot fully insulated container-based Clone Facility has a separate utility area and provides climate controlled vertical production space for cloning and mother plant storage. Each unit is specially designed for maximum efficiency and workflow. Besides the dedicated technology for the ebb and flow irrigation system installed, a state-of-the-art water monitoring and dosing system and high-pressure fog system, each production area is equipped with energy efficient LED production modules, offering wavelength and intensity specifically designed for cloning and vegetative growth.
The LED environment for cloning provides light levels from 50 to 100 micromoles with an incremental increase as the plant becomes established and the mother plant storage area provides up to 700 micromoles for faster vegetative growth. In addition, each clone factory provides a warm, humid LED lit micro climate for germinating seeds. Based on the current configuration, each unit is capable of producing 1,080 four-inch pots per cycle or substantially more in standard 1020 trays.
CEA Advisors is in the process of finalizing agreements with some of the world’s top cannabis consultants to provide technical support for our clients. The company has already brought on board a container modification expert with over 20 years of hands-on experience to manage its agreement with the world’s largest container manufacturer to provide large quantities of ISO certified 20 foot, 40 foot and 45 foot Container Farms for quick deployment for all stages of growth in the food production, research and international cannabis market.
