RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:If Aphria is so goodI'll look for that separation that your are referring to on Monday, even a slight hint of it, although you dont expect it to multiply exponentially untill early next year.
I've mentioned it a few times since Bruce's appearance on BNN earlier in the week, but I think its worth mentioning again. Aphria's play in the USA market should make it easioer for Bruce to attract the big funds since Canopy is playing outside of what he describes as the grey area. No need to worry about big investors jumping onboard with Aphria.
I had a hard time understanding why Bruce was whinning so much on BNN. The big investors Bruce is trying to attract think like you. They dont want companies taking risks with their money. Therefore Aphria's operation in the USA should make it easier for Bruce to attract the large US investment funds,
UNLESS they are staying away for other reasons.

Bruce has stated costs are substantially lower than Smith Falls. Canopy/Bruce rarely promotes that type of thing right or wrong...for the most part Bruce imo is of the "actions speak louder than words" mentality.
As for why not go full greenhouse research GMP Certification as it relates to DIN & pharmacy. There is a reason APH is not in Germany and will have a hard time breaking into the European market at this time which is a mistake by Vic imo. Pharmacy imo will not enter the market selling dry bud. When they do it will be with capsules on a script basis...IMO THIS WILL REQUIRE A DIN AND SUPPLIERS THAT RUN ACCORDING TO GMP....greenhouse environment will not get you to this level imo. The main reason I chose to invest in Canopy last August was the diversity of growing platform. Besides, no chance Pharmacy enters the space by committing to any one supplier so betting all your chips on this as APH shareholders have basically done is not the way to go imo. Lowest cost means nothing if you have no product to sell because you have not learned to ramp up & run economies of scale.
All this talk of ACB & APH surpassing Canopy soon because they have PLANS of 1 million square feet is laughable. The growing pains Canopy is going through NOW is because they are already doing this...ACB & APH will have to go through it eventually and it will be much later than Canopy....the separation will continue to be more and more obvious as time goes on and will multiply exponentially imo early next year. Time will tell if I am right of course but I could see this last year and it has basically come to exactly what I thought it would so far.
Also I personally believe that the European market is also far more important than the US and Germany is the gateway...I'm happy to let APH play in the mud of uncertainty...imo Bruce has it right not taking risks with my money.

Are they growing in the full 350K s. ft. or only a portion of the facility? How do their costs compare to their Smith Falls operation? Any reason why they dont promote it more?

"
Tweed Farms is the largest marijuana-producing greenhouse in the world, certainly legally that we’ve ever come across, with over 350,000 square feet of licensed cannabis production space. The scale and the passive processes allow the Farm to produce environmentally friendly cannabis at extremely competitive cost per gram. The Farm combines traditional and state-of-the art agricultural techniques, using the natural power of the sun and recycled rainwater to nurture genetically identical plants produced in the on-site tissue culture propagation lab."
