Result of working with Lumino

• Found a Head of plant science with over 5 years experience in large scale commercial cannabis production experience from Canada, who holds a PhD in Plant science, and was willing to relocate for a science based role such as this
• The new Head of Plant Science’s vast experience in cultivation also elevated the need of finding a head grower with specific plant knowledge – allowing for a strong and motivated agronomist with only one year experience with the cannabis plant to full there needs at a lower cost
• Head of Plant Science was able to bring vast about of value in his first month, by improving floor plant, equipment and SOP’s, build and improved genetics library, as well as objectives and targets of the breeding program and target consumers, and developed facility designs, floor plants and SOP’s for commercial cultivation licences
