Does anyone have good resources (articles, design guidance) for fire suppression systems protecting new marijuana grow facilities?

Chapter 38 - Marijuana Growing, Processing, or Extraction Facilities was added to the 2018 Edition of NFPA 1.

I am dealing with an F1 (OH2) Grow Facility that uses 4'x40' moveable steel racks with 4 levels up to 16ft. The racks when stored together will have a width of 16 ft. The plants are cultivated on 4x8 thin plastic catch trays on top of trellis style shelves. The Room has a 75% Humidity Control System. I doubt anything will even burn inside this State of the Art Grow Room with such a high humidity Level. We have suggested to the owner to lower the height to 3 shelves high to maintain a 12ft storage height. However, the Fire Marshal is concerned about floor coverage due to the trays. Has anyone come across similar conditions? Suggestions on where to go from here would be helpful.
