GrowBlox Sciences, Inc. adheres to strict regulatory and safety standards to support its clinical trials and securing them as a client highlights our credentials as the industry-leading supplier of high quality, premium lighting products for cannabis cultivation. Our reputation for developing highly differentiated lighting products supported by unique and advanced technologies was further demonstrated when we won the DOPE Industry Awards for Best Lighting Company.
