Oakum Cannabis

Oakum (formerly Frozen Penguin Medical Industries Inc.) is currently completing the first phase of its proposed 40,000-sq.-ft. state-of-the-art cultivation and processing facility located in Kelowna, British Columbia.  Phase One of the Facility is comprised of approximately 2,000 sq. ft. of grow rooms which is outfitted with RotoGro Hydroponic Garden Systems (installed in arrays of four units, two high) including RotoGro’s propriety iGrow growing management software.

The construction of Phase One of the Facility facilitates the completion of the final stages of Oakum’s application to Health Canada for a licence to cultivate lawful cannabis. Once the licence is issued by Health Canada, Oakum plans to complete the construction of the remaining 38,000 sq. ft. of the facility in partnership and consultation with RotoGro. RotoGro’s installation and commissioning teams will spend the next two weeks at the facility providing; onsite assembly, installation, testing, certification, training and growing management support.

Chief Executive Officer, Adam Clode said: “The delivery of our Rotational Garden Systems to Oakum is an exciting time for both companies. Oakum’s research and testing of the RotoGro Garden System over the past 12 months combined with the collaboration of RotoGro’s research and development team supports the successful implementation of Oakum’s first phase to consistently achieve yields of over 7lbs of dry flower per rotational garden per harvest. We look forward to our further collaboration with Oakum to complete the design and buildout of their 40,000-sq.-ft. facility.”
