Why Cannabis Cultivation Smart Farming Techniques Can All Benefit Farm Operations

Palm Beach, FL – June 13, 2019 – Since the early 1960’s… or maybe even earlier… people in the U.S. have been growing cannabis/marijuana for personal use and for sale on the black markets. They would set up crop locations in remote areas, or in a clearing in a forest, or in the middle of corn fields. Some even used nets like the military to hide their operations from the air! All of these techniques were eventually foiled by the authorities over time… which caused the ‘outlaw’ cannabis growers to move their operations inside to escape detection.   A recent article in a cannabis industry publication talked about these unintentional pioneers in indoor cannabis growth techniques. The article said in part: “They are coming out of hiding. For decades, these hidden growers had to be creative. They took risks. And they’re bringing the knowledge gained from those risks to the traditional agriculture market as it, too, shifts indoors.”   Active companies in the Cannabis market this week include Cannabis Strategic Ventures, Inc. (OTCQB: NUGS), INSYS Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: INSY), CV Sciences, Inc. (OTCQB: CVSI), Sorrento Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: SRNE), Neptune Wellness Solutions Inc. (TSX: NEPT.TO) (NASDAQ: NEPT).

 

And it is not just the cannabis operations that will benefit. The article added: “Legalization allows cannabis growers to come out of hiding with knowledge invaluable to the urban farming movement… Produce and herb farmers are watching the cannabis industry closely, looking to implement technologies that cannabis is investing to more efficiently address their own operations in greenhouses and even outdoor cultivation.”  For example: “Ten years ago, high-pressure sodium (HPS) lights were the only option cannabis growers had for growing their products indoors, away from the prying eyes of law enforcement. But in recent years… research shows LEDs promise to be more energy efficient and effective for plant growth, both of which improve the bottom line for (all) growers. LEDs are already enabling year-round harvests, eliminating concerns around seasonality, increasing plant yields by supplementing sunlight and making it possible for plants to thrive in the dead of winter.”

 

Cannabis Strategic Ventures, Inc. (OTCQB:NUGS) BREAKING NEWS:  Cannabis Strategic Ventures today announces it is finalizing negotiations for a series of strategic transactions that could reshape the California cannabis marketplace. Under the terms of the agreements, which are being negotiated and are not final, the Company will gain significant indoor, outdoor and greenhouse cannabis cultivation operations; an existing cannabis retail presence; a team of highly experienced cultivators and managers; and a direct cash infusion from a strategic investment group.

 

The transactions being negotiated are material and will result in a fundamental shift in the Company’s business, market value and ability to scale operations and cannabis assets under its control. In exchange for the acquired assets, the Company would issue a combination of restricted common and preferred shares to the strategic investment group and management team. In return, the strategic investors would make a direct cash investment and contribute significant operational and hard cannabis assets.

 

“We are in the final stages of negotiations, and once they conclude will be acquiring strong cannabis assets in the state of California,” commented Simon Yu, CEO, Cannabis Strategic Ventures. “Simply put, Cannabis Strategic Ventures would quickly become one of the largest cultivators in the state of California and the United States.”    Read this entire release and more news for Cannabis Strategic Ventures at:  https://www.financialnewsmedia.com/news-nugs
