Vancouver, British Columbia - TheNewswire - September 23, 2019 - Gaia Grow Corp. (TSXV:GAIA) (the "Company" or "Gaia") is pleased to offer the following corporate update:

The harvesting team delivered the necessary equipment to the Gaia hemp fields in Airdrie, Alberta on September 16th and has been running several harvesting process tests across the smaller fields to ensure an optimal crop harvest, making sure there is an efficient drying process prior to baling and also to facilitate field clean-up for next year's rotation crops. The harvest is dependent upon weather conditions and is anticipated to take between seven to fourteen days once started, while drying could take an additional five to seven days thereafter.


Harvesting of the crop has officially started and the current two-week weather forecast looks very promising. Gaia will continue to update shareholders as the harvesting progresses.

As is prudent with any hemp crop, whether grown indoor or outdoor, periodic cannabinoid profile testing has been conducted to help with optimal harvest timing. From roughly 60 days from planting, periodic independent tests have been sent to several labs across the country. Results from these tests have been extremely positive and have been received and discussed with our potential off-take partners.

"With favorable test results and our harvest underway, we now have the full ability to begin allocating our crop to the right buyers" says Frederick Pels, CEO of Gaia. "The appetite for Gaia's premium product is strong and we anticipate sales to be finalized post harvesting. These sales will not only fuel but cement our stance as being a leader in the hemp and CBD industry in North America."
