Tech-Transfer from space research! Photo-System 1000 research chamber The PhotoSystem chamber: A sealed environment chamber

The sealed PhotoSystem chambers are developed in a tech-transfer from CESRF, UoGuelph to Intravision.

With an 9-band LED-light system including UVC, UVB and UVA light, these chambers are unique in creating new un- derstanding and photo-recipes for both food- and medicinal plants.

For development of an AI these chambers are a precision tool to better study plant physiological responses to environment manipulation under multiple parameters including:

(higher or lower) • Light (quantity, quality) • Nutrients • Plant status • Insect predation • Pathogen application/response The PhotoSystem chamber: The potential of photobiology!

• We use colored LED’s to interact with the plants light-senso- ry mechanismens.

• Use designed broadband light spectrums to direct plant growth and to impact the plants secondary metabolites; ap- peracne, texture, taste, nutrition content.

• Spectrum variable LEDs to optimize different production phases. The PhotoSystem chamber: A sealed growth environment

The Automated Factory

Intravision has adapted the patent applied GravityFlow System towards both cannabis vegetation and Flower Rooms.

The fundament of our approach is the use of moving GrowBoxes that are being fed with nutrients in our hybrid hydroponic solution, where we keep a certain reservoir of nutrients inside each GrowBox in-between the fillings.

The flower room GrowBoxes has space for 4 large plants produced in standard 2-gallon pots that are dropped into the larger carrier.
