A Vancouver-based medical marijuana producer is the first to get a Health Canada permit to grow cannabis using natural sunlight.

Tantalus Labs founder Dan Sutton says SunLab is the new generation of sustainable, natural and highly controlled infrastructure for growing weed.

“It’s sort of unreasonable to grow virtually any plant in an indoor, artificial environment where one is trying to replicate nature. We’re really proud of our knowledge or quality assurance, of processed standardization, of creating efficiencies and repeatability out of processes and systems in an agricultural environment.”

He adds it’s one-of-a-kind, and took five years to develop.

“In short, it is a spaceship for weed. (It’s) the first of its kind in terms of environmental tailoring, infrastructure tailoring, automation, data capturing, environmental monitoring all specialized for the cannabis industry.”

Sutton was a guest on CKNW Weekend with Tim Dickert.
