MJ-Tech about CfC Consortium
Added on 20 October 2023
Welcome back to Cultivation for Compounds (CfC) consortium article series! For the October release, we contacted MJ-Tech, the high-pressure fog system partner of the consortium. Before we start, for our new readers, the CfC is a four-year research project and representation program committed to cannabis cultivation. This article is the sixth of this series.
For over 30 years MJ-Tech has been installing high-pressure fogging solutions in multiple applications; from livestock barns and industrial applications to many greenhouses-related set-ups. Cannabis cultivation belongs to one of the “younger” crops and quite some installations have been done for it in the last 5-10 years in North America and more recently Australia, Europe, and other locations come into play. It also varies from recreational purposes to medical-oriented purposes depending on the legal context applicable in a country. “There were not a lot of opportunities to go into detail how high-pressure fogging is applied (yet) and being a member of the CfC consortium provides chances to create more insights.”
For this interview, we got in touch with Rob Kwinten, Business Development Manager at MJ-Tech. With years of experience focusing on the cannabis market, Rob’s daily attention is dedicated to cannabis cultivation, as well as vegetable and berry crops, worldwide; “We make sure our customers have the knowledge and understanding of how to use the fogging at certain greenhouse conditions and taken the outdoor conditions into account to apply the right settings in the climate computer.” Rob stressed the importance of knowing how and when to use a high-pressure fogging system “Some people do not realize the many strong and unique advantages of fogging, but one has to realize that when used wrong, it can ruin the crop”.
