Today’s podcast overview/transcript:
Good
afternoon and welcome to another episode of Investorideas.com
"Potcast" featuring cannabis news, stocks to watch as well as
insights from thought leaders and experts.
In
today’s podcast Investorideas interviews
Anthony Charles, the Co-Founder of Oakum
Cannabis Corp., a privately-owned and operated, licensed producer of
cannabis products based in Kelowna, British Columbia, where we discussed what
separates Oakum from some of its competitors when it comes to its facility and
grow techniques as well as how the company has maintained operations through
the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Anthony,
like many Cannabis Entrepreneurs in the industry today, did not start with a
Cannabis background but instead was a machinist who eventually developed a love
for growing cannabis through personal experiences. Anthony and his family later
thought to turn this passion into a business back around 2013 but due to
difficulties with government and lack of investors it took until 2018 to
establish a site and begin construction.
Anthony
and the Oakum team personally designed their facility from scratch, which I was
lucky enough to receive a tour of, and from security to water treatment to
their roto grow machines the facility goes above and beyond to be state of the
art.

Anthony
went on to discuss how their high tech facility came about saying, “To grow
under compliance with Health Canada can sometimes be a bit tricky. You want to
be compliant and do the best job you can, but because of certain rules you have
to follow, which we’re glad to follow, makes you have to sort of think outside
the box on what you can do to optimize your facility and stay in compliance.
One of the main areas we found was overhead. By the time you’ve put in all of
these auxiliary rooms and you put an extraction lab in the facility like we
have, in a 10,000 square foot facility it doesn’t give you as much space to
grow as you might like. So we decided as opposed to just looking at the square
footage of our building, since we had height in our building, we went vertical
with it so that was one of our reasons to choose Roto Grow, so we could produce
more product in a smaller space and in a more controlled environment. We go two
machines high and we get twice as much canopy space in a room as opposed to traditional
growing. From there we have all these machines that are automated but you’ve
got to water them so we went ahead and brought in a whole fertigation unit that
is from a subsidiary of RotoGrow and we are the first ones in Canada to have
this specific fertigation unit. All of our water comes in municipal, then we
heavily filter it, carbon filter it, UV filter it, test it and then mix it
through our machine and add the nutrients which you write the recipe that
tracks everything for you. Then we send it off to the rooms and since it's a
flood and drain style system we can see day to day what’s happening at our root
zone. This allows us to focus our attention away from the physical mixing and
measuring nutrients and focus more time on what changes you may want to make to
your environment and investigating plants and perfecting our craft here.”
This
system of growing also gives the Oakum team access to a large series of data
sets regarding their grow techniques when it comes to nutrient and water levels
on an hour by hour basis which allows them a large deal of control over their
plants.
Oakum
products may not be out on the market yet but Anthony and his team have a very
specific concept for the Oakum brand and are expecting to receive their sales
license within the next few months.
Mr.
Charles went on to discuss the company’s unique extraction techniques in more
detail, how the COVID-19 Pandemic has affected their business as well as the
future of Oakum and their products.
