CannabisNewsBreaks – The Flowr Corp. Partners with Scotts Miracle-Gro Company (NYSE: SMG) Subsidiary to Conduct Cannabis Testing

Company: The Flowr Corp.
Category: News

The Flowr Corp., a Canadian licensed producer that focuses primarily on premium flower production, was recently highlighted in a Bloomberg article titled, “Scotts Miracle-Gro Tests Whether It Can Make Pot Grow Too,” authored by Kristine Owram. Per the article, Scotts Miracle-Gro Company’s (NYSE: SMG) subsidiary, Hawthorne Gardening Co., is partnering up with Flowr to build a 50,000-square-foot research facility on the same site as Flowr’s grow-op in Kelowna, British Columbia. Firstly, the new lab will test Hawthorne’s lights and nutrients on cannabis, with plans to ultimately conduct more in-depth studies on the plant.

Currently producing 250 grams a square foot at its grow-op, Flowr seeks to nearly double that number to produce some of the highest crop yields in the industry, targeting an ultimate yield of 450 grams. The company has already inked supply agreements with the Ontario and B.C. governments ahead of legalization and has secured a distribution agreement to sell medical marijuana in Germany next year. Presently, the company’s seasoned executives are eyeing opportunities in the Caribbean and South America. The president and co-founder of Flowr, Tom Flow, was also the co-founder of MedReleaf Corp., a company recently acquired by Aurora Cannabis Inc. (TSX: ACB) (OTCQB: ACBFF) for roughly $2.2 billion in stock. Flow also brought several of the MedReleaf team members to Flowr, which is set to list on the TSX Venture Exchange next month via a reverse takeover.
