The Company's cannabis production methodology is based around a modular, scalable, and stackable production unit called a "Grow Pod", which are based on retrofitted 40-foot shipping containers. 1417376 BC Ltd.’s production facility has been designed and retrofitted using this turnkey Grow Pod system.

1417376 BC Ltd. is developing a state-of-the-art 18,000 sq ft micro cultivation facility on a 79-acre parcel of land, in Comox Valley, British Columbia. This retrofit facility houses a micro cultivation license, including eight new grow pod systems, and a proprietary craft growing approach developed by Delta 9. 1417376 BC Ltd.’s initial plan is to focus on growing proprietary strains of 20+ THC and expanding its product offering with extracted products in the future. 1417376 BC Ltd. has two more buildings on-site slated for future expansion of 30,000 sq ft to house an additional 100 or more Grow Pods.
