Sollum Technologies has contributed to an expansion of the Cannabis Research Coalition‘s (CRC) research capabilities through a partnership. This collaboration marks a step in the cannabis cultivation research sector, as CRC introduces Sollum’s dynamic lighting solution into its new facilities.

During a recent site visit, Sollum Technologies and CRC celebrated the ongoing development of 1900 sq. ft. of research space, including 16 dedicated R&D chambers. These chambers will be fully equipped with Sollum’s dynamic LED lighting, including AI-powered SF-PRO fixtures connected to Sollum’s SUN as a Service platform. Both work together to simulate the cycle of natural sunlight and provide precise control over light spectrums to optimise cannabis growth conditions and achieve desired product qualities.

“Due to limited university funding, the CRC stands as one of the few reliable sources for science-based cannabis research,” said Allison Justice, the CEO of CRC. “The generosity and support of our industry partners have been crucial in expanding our research initiatives. With Sollum’s partnership, we aim to conduct cultivation research that makes the cannabis industry more sustainable, profitable and safer.”

Matthew Bonavita, teh senior sales director for the U.S. market at Sollum, said, “Sollum Technologies is excited to partner with the Cannabis Research Coalition in their pursuit of advancing cannabis cultivation research. By integrating our state-of-the-art dynamic LED lighting solution into CRC research facilities, we are confident this will yield insights and innovations.”

The enhanced facilities will enable CRC to push the boundaries of cannabis science, providing applicable insights for cultivators and leading to more sustainable cultivation methods and protocols.
