Vancouver, British Columbia – TheNewswire – October 2, 2019 - Gaia Grow Corp. (TSXV:GAIA) (the “Company” or “Gaia”) is pleased to provide the following insights regarding their harvest:

Unfavorable weather has passed as of Monday afternoon (09/30) and warm fall days are scheduled for the region.  At its deepest, the snow has melted down to about 1-2 inches (3-5cm) and with the warm sunlight and a constant breeze over the fields, they will be back to normal black dirt within the next few days.  New photos of the crop taken on October 1st, 2019 have been posted on the Gaia Grow Corp main website gallery as well as our social media channels below:

 

  • - As described in previous press releases, the cultivar planted is X59, sourced from a pedigreed seed producer from Manitoba. Stabilized in Canada over years, it is a hybrid of two Russian-sourced strains of hemp. It is a cultivar that stands up well to the general conditions that the Northern Hemisphere can throw at it, including light snow and moderate cold periods like the company has just experienced.  

 

  • - The biomass already harvested will dry in the sun and breeze, as originally planned. As soon as the ground moisture conditions allow, we will be back in the fields on a 18-24 hour-per-day push to finish the harvest.

 

  • - Continued testing of the crop for cannabinoid content, seed maturation and pathogen content - all tests required for the crop to enter medical-grade and food-grade supply chains - will continue per normal schedules.

 

 “With the forecast appearing hospitable to harvesting without much delay and our harvesting team willing to work 18-24hrs days, I'm excited to see that we can get back on schedule” says Frederick Pels, CEO of Gaia Grow Corp. “The team at Gaia has been laser focused on the task at hand, from our choice of ground, seed, and agricultural partners. We have taken the correct and necessary steps to ensure we are successful in harvest, and that same focus will carry us forward as we continue to grow and innovate in this industry”
