POLLEN WILL PUT POT GROWERS OUT OF ACTION
KELOWNA -- A local man says he has a tool that will help landlords weed out
pot growers.
Michael Glendinning says No Grow is a natural product that is sprayed in a
home's heating system and will prevent pot plants from going to bud.
"The bud is where the money is. If there's no bud, the plant is worthless,"
he said.
No Grow is made up of small amounts of hemp pollen and other ingredients
that Glendinning refused to disclose.
"It's 100 per cent non-toxic. It's totally legal. It's 100 per cent
natural," he said adding the hemp spores will not affect people with pollen
allergies or asthma.
Glendinning said the invention came about by accident when an unidentified
couple had their marijuana grow operation go to seed.
"They figured out how it happened and decided, 'let's fight the good
fight,'" he said, adding the product has been tested on an actual grow
operation.
"In 48 hours, it was turning to seed."
Glendinning said the pollen is spread through the house by the furnace
system and is attracted only to female pot plants. It will not affect other
plants.
"Every time the fan is turned on, the spore is released," he said.
He said his goal is not to eradicate grow-ops in the Valley, but to help
landlords protect their investments.
Grow-ops can destroy because of the heat and high humidity needed to grow
the plant. Glendinning said the operations can cause significant damage to
a home and put insurance claims at risk.
For a monthly fee of $35, No Grow will be professionally sprayed into a
heating system once a year. Glendinning said the tenants will be given
notice and stickers telling the product is in use will be placed on doors
and some windows of the house.
Glendinning gets the pollen from legal hemp growers.
Kelowna Coun. Ron Cannan attended Thursday's demonstration of the product
as a concerned citizen.
"It seems like a very innovative idea to address a problem in our
community," said Cannan. "It's only a matter of time," he said, before a
firefighter or police officer is seriously injured or killed by a
booby-trapped or electrified grow operation.
Cannan said the mayor, RCMP and fire department are all behind the product.
Glendinning said the product is ready for sale. For more information call
