Our Gatineau-based facility comprises 18 fully independent grow rooms, each encompassing a total of 198 microclimate areas and equipped with six vertical racking systems arranged in three stacked layers. This enables us to conduct extensive testing of novel environmental inputs, genome sequencing modifications, and optimized harvesting schedules. Our state-of-the-art indoor high-density vertical growing system leverages artificial intelligence to autonomously control the plants’ environmental conditions, resulting in significantly enhanced sustainability and output efficiency compared to outdoor growing methods, with potential yield increases ranging from 4 to 8.5 times higher. By optimizing our energy usage and output material ratio, we are able to maximize our facility’s square footage and productivity, and offer our clients a high quality product at a competitive price.

PharmaFlo employs a cutting-edge high-density vertical farming system that utilizes data-driven decision-making to optimize harvest yields. Our decentralized growing environments allow for precise control of a broad range of parameters, including humidity, temperature, and pressure, to ensure customized and ideal growing conditions for each plant. Additionally, we integrate multiple synchronized sensors that measure various vital factors such as oxygen and substrate humidity, root, air and leaf temperatures, as well as photosynthesis lighting to further enhance our cultivation practices. An automated system collecting information on the weight of substrates allows us to automate the irrigation per cell, based on the needs of each plant, and infrared cameras calculate their transpiration and the vapor pressure deficit in real time.

We use hyperspectral imaging camera technology to non-invasively measure specific plant compounds with exceptional precision. These state-of-the-art cameras allow for real-time monitoring of plant compounds, enabling the tracing of correlations between environmental factors, pathogen response, and compound output in a highly accurate and efficient manner.

We are proud to use an industry-leading sustainable lighting system to provide the plants with the best possible growing conditions. PharmaFlo uses LED horticultural lighting, which is known for its better penetration of the plant canopy. Beyond having a longer lifespan while reducing electricity costs, it has also been proven to maximize compound levels through better flower quality.

We are proud to have developed a state-of-the-art irrigation room that can achieve precise fertilization throughout its facility. By using pharmaceutical-grade reverse osmosis water, we can ensure traceability and control all the parameters within the irrigation system, including salts and minerals. Our advanced system of pumps and valves can be cleaned rapidly and allows us to send specific solutions to our plants, increasing our reactivity and control of their growth.

PharmaFlo conducts its cultivation areas in accordance with Good Agricultural and Collection Practices (GACP) certification. The post-harvest and processing activities take place exclusively within the eu-GMP certified section of the facility. This procedural aspect plays a vital role in our operations, as it is obligatory for our global clientele, especially those utilizing cannabinoids and compounds as Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs). These compliance measures guarantee a standardized, regulated, and traceable post-harvest and manufacturing process, ultimately safeguarding the quality, safety, and effectiveness of the end product.
