Just HeardAbout the halt. So whatever I say now doesn't add up to a hill o' beans but I'll say it anyway.
IMO, if you get a chance to get out, do it quick.
While the vertical grow idea is a thing in some cases, it's not for every kind of crop and it's VERY expensive due to the amount of lighting required in an indoor multi tiered grow. This type of growing isn't new, it's been going on for years with some success on smaller scales where the cost of production is far greater than it's traditional counterpart. It's usually in remote areas where access to fresh lettuce etc. costs too much to ship or, in some urban areas where "top knots" want their leafy greans grown a block away from where they live. Regardless, AFI hasn't played any role that I'm aware of that would have already contributed to what's already on the go in these areas. In the video they showed recently, what greenhouse were they showing? Looked like stock photo's to me. Where is the vertical farm AFI is involved in? What makes it different from what has been available for years now?
You need only look as far as JWCA. They had an special aeroponics thing, best thing since sliced bread they said. Took a lot of cash from local folks in the Cambridge On area before selling off everything to debt and skipping town. The loaner of the debt, "Tricome" took over and shareholders lost everything.
You can't call yourself the future when all you have is a bunch of PVC pipes arranged in a star pattern stacked on top of each other.
Investors need to look to the players making a difference right now. One of which is Aphria. Yes, I'm invested in Aphria, it's because they and others like them, are the future of the cannabis industry.
