set to capitalize on outdoor cultivation.The most recent licensed producer to receive Health Canada outdoor cultivation approval was WeedMD for their 27-acres of land in Strathroy, Ontario. WeedMD has plans to plant over 20,000 clones in early June and will look to harvest this fall. With the new outdoor grow coming online, the company expects to increase its production output by an additional 27,000 kg. WeedMD is taking more of a conservative approach, and planting less cannabis per acre of production property. Either way they are yielding a conservative 1,000 kg per acre, and are hoping to have over 73 acres up and approved by 2020. WeedMD has more than 20,000 plants already rooted in organic material and ready to be planted. This growing method allows for higher yields, survival rates, and consistency when compared to starting from seed.
