The Licensed Cultivator chose to forgo a commercial feasibility basing the purchase decision only on GROW plant science data.
TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / December 15, 2020 / Toronto based CO2 GRO Inc. ("GROW") (TSX-V:GROW, OTCQB:BLONF, Frankfurt:4021) is pleased to announce that it has sold a third CO2 Delivery Solutions™ Commercial Installation to an Ottawa, Ontario based licensed cultivator. The customer chose to forego a commercial feasibility and based the purchase on GROW's previous plant science data.
GROW's customer commented, "According to my return-on-investment criteria of a one-year payback, a mere 7% increase in yield justified purchasing the system."
According to Aaron Archibald, GROW's VP Sales, "We have now sold our third straight-to-Commercial Installations' of a CO2 Delivery Solutions™ system in Canada. The customers return-on-investment criteria of a 7% yield increase indicates the power of CO2 Delivery Solutions™ to deliver good value to customers at crop value increases below the average 30% our scientific data demonstrates. With our current feasibilities beginning to show strong results, we are able to share this data with potential customers of whom three have decided to purchase the systems without the need for a commercial feasibility."

About CO2 GRO Inc.
GROW's target markets are focused on the 50 billion square feet of global greenhouse and covered cultivation space (USDA). Atmospheric enrichment of CO2 by gassing has been practiced in indoor and expensive sealed greenhouses for decades resulting in enhance crop yields of up to 30%. However, 85% of the world's greenhouses are unsealed and have open-venting designs for heat ventilation which makes CO2 gassing uneconomical and impractical since the CO2 gas easily escapes.
GROW's CO2 Delivery Solutions™ naturally and safely dissolves CO2 gas into water creating an aqueous CO2 solution which is then misted directly on plant leaves. GROW has demonstrated its technology to be as effective as CO2 gassing by improving crop yields up to 30%, while using a fraction of the CO2 gas. The CO2 solution's micro droplets create an aqueous film around the entire leaf surface, isolating the leaf from the atmosphere. This creates a diffusion gradient favoring CO2 transport into the leaf and other gases out of the leaf. Increased carbon availability enhances photosynthesis resulting in faster and larger plant growth. CO2 Delivery Solutions™ has been demonstrated on crops including Cannabis, hemp, lettuce, kale, microgreens, peppers and flowers. In addition, aqueous CO2 misting offers pathogen Perimeter Protection™ for plants by slowing the spread of micro pathogens such as E. coli and powdery mildew. Greenhouse growers everywhere can now supplement CO2 to their crops using CO2 Delivery Solutions™, increasing plant yields and profits.
