KITCHENER, Ontario, May 02, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- James E. Wagner Cultivation Corporation (“JWC” or the “Corporation”) (TSX VENTURE: JWCA; OTCQX: JWCAF), is pleased to announce that its current operations are at full production capacity for both the pilot facility, JWC 1, located at 855 Trillium Dr., Kitchener, and the first phase (“Phase 1”) of the second site, JWC 2, located at 530 Manitou Dr., Kitchener.



Currently, both JWC 1 and Phase 1 of JWC 2, are operating at full capacity, with each site having all of its flowering rooms in full production. The JWC 2 facility received its cultivation licence from Health Canada (the “Licence”) on Friday March 29, 2019. Immediately upon receipt of the Licence, the Corporation initiated cultivation efforts at JWC 2. Approximately 2,000 plants were transferred from JWC 1 to JWC 2 over the course of the first weekend following receipt of the Licence. The plants were in varying stages of their growth cycles; from new cuttings to almost ready to commence flowering. The Corporation anticipates that JWC 2 will achieve its first harvest cycle during the first week of June 2019.

“The addition of JWC 2, and all of our fully functional grow rooms, will allow us to be competitive with the best in the industry. We will shortly begin harvesting material from our new spaces, while continuously adding new grow rooms to our JWC 2 facility, tracking toward an explosive growth curve,” said Nathan Woodworth, President and Chief Executive Officer of JWC.
