RE:RE:RE:Yes this is part of AFI's story

RE:RE:RE:Yes this is part of AFI's storyHave you done any research whatsoever on vertical growth systems? Depending on the plant type or crop some vertical growth systems globally have yielded up 500 times the typical yield for the same foot print. Wattage rates, water consumption etc.. for plant growth cycle can be considerably less and the growth cycle of the plants in a regulated indoor environment is often shorter allowing for a greater frequency of yields throughout the growing year. So a conservative number of triple is cause for concern then? While the AFI system remains to be proven within the MJ sector even the lower end of the vertical growth systems I have reviewed provided yields 129 % - 800 % greater (once again depending on the crop). To clarify... a 200 % increase equates to a triple yield in case the math is troubling you.

Odds are I'd have your job if you were my boss.

Try some light reading on vertical systems from the Journal of Agricultural Studies. While the scale of the application is larger and the crops differ, the application principle remains the same:
