ESCONDIDO, Calif., Oct. 22, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — MARIJUANA COMPANY OF AMERICA INC. (“MCOA” or the “Company“) (OTCQB: MCOA), an innovative hemp and cannabis corporation, is pleased to announce the Company has begun its 2019 harvest at its CBD hemp farm in Scio, Oregon. With its joint venture partner, Global Hemp Group Inc. (CSE: GHG/ OTC: GBHPF/ FRANKFURT: GHG), MCOA has created joint venture subsidiary, Covered Bridge Acres Ltd. (CBA), which owns the hemp biomass that runs across 35 acres and incorporates environmentally friendly and biodegradable methods.

Pre-harvest testing from the Oregon Department of Agriculture on the current hemp crop was recently conducted at the farm, CBA, and the final results of these tests determined that the hemp crop was compliant in THC levels. CBA has begun a selective harvest of buds concurrently with the general harvest for extraction and will be completed during the current quarter. Strains selected for this year’s outdoor crop are low in THC and are expected to produce CBD levels near 20%. Similar strains are being grown in the greenhouses for the fall harvest program.

“The initial results of this harvest in Oregon are incredibly promising,” said Mr. Donald Steinberg, Chief Executive Officer of Marijuana Company of America. “Our commitment to growing only of the most robust and quality plants are providing us with excellent returns that we are confident will be greatly appreciated by our growing customer base. As demand for CBD products continues to escalate, we remain focused on expanding our market footprint, enhancing brand recognition and capturing additional market share. We believe that this harvest is an important step in our growth trajectory and in establishing ourselves as a market leader in this emerging industry.”

HempSMART is a MCOA subsidiary

MCOA has expanded its growing operations to include year-round production from its greenhouses. The Covered Bridge Acres team has populated the first greenhouse (approx. 3,000 sq ft) for a fall harvest. The remaining five greenhouses (19,000 sq. ft.) are processing the current harvest of the outdoor crop. Cultivation will expand into all of the greenhouses on the farm, once processing is complete. Additionally a new 4,000 sq ft greenhouse will be installed to increase the available indoor growing area. Management is currently evaluating greenhouse expansion plans in order to generate a year-round revenue stream for the Company.

CBD -You’re Guidebook to Growing Home Hemp 2021

Indoor or Outdoor? Now that the US has given us a guide on Hemp (see our post on the USDA) effective March 22, 2021. For those who would like to try their hand at Hemp, remember now we should follow the instruction of law. Aside from that, what is a good process to get going?

The very first thing you’ll need to do is decide if you want to grow your plants inside or outside.

Of course, indoor grown CBD flowers will be of superior quality, but it takes more work and a larger initial investment.

If I were to choose an option, I’d personally go with the greenhouse.

Any specific strains you like better than others? Let’s take a quick look at how each of these options might impact your grow-op or your final product.

Picking a Strain

If you’re growing inside, you’ll need different colored light bulbs to replicate the changes. With autoflowering strains, well, they switch to the flowering stage automatically without any assistance from external light sources.

These strains are typically more user-friendly and would be ideal for the novice grower, but generally speaking, the quality of the buds is not quite as good as with regular strains. The next step is to pick an actual strain.

For the record, a few easy to grow strains are Blue Dream, Green Crack, and Harlequin.

Getting Set Up Seeds or Clones? Seeds have more options but much more difficult. Clones are easier to grow but can be harder to find and sketchy to transport depending on where you live.

If you choose to start f rom seed, the first thing you will need to do is get your plant sprouted. If you’re buying good quality seeds from a trusted seedbank, you can go ahead and put the seeds straight into the soil and let them do their thing.

If you receive some seeds and want to test their viability before putting planting them directly, you can germinate the seed by putting in a damp paper towel, in a warm place with indirect sunlight.

I use a window where there is an overhang from the roof. Direct sunlight is often too strong for germinating seeds and even for young, barely sprouted plants.

Now when it comes to actual growing equipment, that will vary based on the growing method you choose (indoor, outdoor, soil, hydro, aeroponic, etc.), or the climate you live in if you choose to grow outdoors.

That said, her e are a few basic items you will likely need no matter where or how you plan on growing: Growing tent (with built in ventilation system) Lights (with different color and wattage bulbs to for the flower stage)

Soil, coco coir, or another planting medium, Filtration fixtures

Timers, Thermometer, Hydrometer Pots and other basic gardening tools

You can get all of these items for about $500 to $750, again, depending on your geographic location as well as what exactly you need.

If you’re growing inside, you’ll need to account for the higher utility bills as well.

This all might sound a bit pricey, but keep in mind, this is just the initial investment.

In the long run, you will save money not having to buy flower and you will have much more control over the final product. After getting the initial items together, we are now ready to move forward and find that seed that will satisfy the government regulations and your foot in the soil.
