Expected to Open by End of Fourth Quarter; $10-12 Million Annual Revenue at Full Capacity at Just This Facility; Cutting-Edge Technological Growing of Medical Grade Cannabis
LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESSWIRE / September 28, 2015 / GrowBLOX Sciences, Inc., (OTCQB: GBLX), a biopharmaceutical company with state-of-the-art technologies in plant biology and cultivation designed to produce consistent medicinal cannabis, announced today that the first of the planned four Cultivation Labs, a 30,000 square foot facility in Las Vegas, is scheduled to open in Las Vegas by the end of the fourth quarter. See below for recently taken pictures of both the exterior and interior of our Cultivation Lab as we share our updated progress with shareholders.
It's just the beginning.
Featuring cutting edge technology, the Las Vegas Cultivation Lab, the first of four Cultivation Labs, will occupy 30,000 square feet and will be comprised of fully contained clean room structures. These structures will be equipped with state of the art lighting, air handling, humidity control, CO2 management, irrigation, fertigation. All of these operations will be controlled by a centralized automated system and offer remote access controls. This level of precision environmental control and monitoring is essential for the collection of new data that will be invaluable for the still nascent medical cannabis industry.
Production: As the first of four laboratories and at full capacity, the 30,000 square foot facility will produce over 7,000 pounds of certified medical grade raw material annually. It will feature the precision of a laboratory and the size of a greenhouse.
Revenue: As only the first of four laboratories and at full capacity, the Las Vegas Cultivation Lab is projected to generate $10-$12 million in revenue per annum.
Chairman of the Board and CEO Craig Ellins, commented, "Our flagship laboratory, the Las Vegas Cultivation Lab, is only the first of four Cultivation Labs being built. As such, it is the standard bearer for the cutting-edge technological growing of medical grade cannabis, and is a timely address to the problem of inadequate supplies of medical grade cannabis. GrowBLOX Sciences continues to be a frontrunner in the medical cannabis industry -- and this is only the beginning of great things to come."
