Vancouver, British Columbia - TheNewswire - August 28, 2019 - Gaia Grow Corp. (TSXV:GAIA) (the "Company") or "Gaia") is pleased to report on the Company's 1,494.39 acres of hemp in Rocky View County, Alberta. Through constant visits and oversight by management, the plants are healthy and growing strong. Current measurements in the fields are between 4.5-5 ft tall in the first field, planted in mid-June and 3.75-4.5 ft in the second field, planted about 10 days after.
Samples of the crop have been taken and sent for heavy metal, cannabinoid and other Health Canada-required testing as of August 27, 2019.

"The crop is really a sight to behold" says Frederick Pels, CEO of Gaia. "The weather in Southern Alberta has cooperated very well with our needs and has given our crop the ability to grow tremendously fast and strong over the past several weeks. Our team is now in a position to facilitate and actively pursue off-take negotiations which will hopefully come to fruition this fall. We are currently in several discussions with potential off-takers and will advise the market as soon as any developments become definitive."
