TORONTO, Sept. 5, 2018 /CNW/ – The Supreme Cannabis Company (“Supreme Cannabis” or the “Company”) (TSXV: FIRE) (OTCQX: SPRWF) (FRA: 53S1), announced that it has obtained Health Canada approval to commence cultivation on approximately 20,000 square feet of additional flowering rooms at its 7ACRES facility.
The additional flowering rooms will increase total potential flowering capacity to 90,000 square feet and, assuming a current yield, will bring 7ACRES’ annual production potential from 10,000kg to 13,330kg.
