During this time, the Flower One team not only completed the conversion of the largest, state-of-the-art cannabis cultivation and production facility in Nevada, but also fully planted its entire 400,000 square foot greenhouse and transitioned its operations to that of an ongoing weekly harvest cycle of 10,000 high-quality, hydroponically grown plants. That is industry-leading execution and speaks to the entire Flower One team's ability to stay focused and disciplined on our plan, and delivering on our promise to create a meaningful presence in Nevada, one of the strongest cannabis markets in the United States. With this proven ability to quickly scale our business, we are incredibly excited about what the future holds for us as we explore opportunities to expand our commercial footprint beyond Nevada."
