Market leaders in the industry this week include:

Rocky Mountain High Brands, Inc. (OTCQB: RMHB) closed up over 7% on Wednesday trading over 4.6 Million shares by the market close. Rocky Mountain High Brands is a consumer goods company specializing in brand development of health conscious, hemp-infused food and beverage products. The Company currently markets a lineup of four naturally flavored hemp-infused beverages (Citrus Energy, Black Tea, Mango Energy and Lemonade) and a low-calorie Coconut Lime Energy drink.

The recently announced that its Board of Directors approved an increase in the authorized common stock to 4,000,000,000 shares.

Marijuana Company of America, Inc. (OTC: MCOA) closed up slightly on Wednesday trading over 2.5 Million shares by the market close. Marijuana Company of America, in conjunction with its joint venture partner, Global Hemp Group, Inc. (CSE: GHG) (FRANKFURT: GHG) (OTC PINK: GBHPF), is pleased to provide an update on the hemp cultivation trials conducted in New Brunswick, Canada. The field portion of this first-year trial is now complete, with results from laboratory analysis of CBD concentrations of the flowers and leaves expected within the next two to four weeks. For this initial growing season:

- Two farmers were contracted in northeast New Brunswick to participate in the trial

- Three varieties of hemp were grown on Test Plot 1 (CFX1, CFX2 & CRS1)

- Two varieties of hemp were on Test Plot 2 (CFX1 & CFX2)

- Three planting densities were utilized (15, 30 & 50 kg/ha)

- Straw yields ranged from 1.10 to 2.47 tons/ha

- Flower production ranged from 0.79 to 1.69 tons/ha

These results confirm what was seen from casual observation. This year's yields are somewhat lower than expected, due to the late planting and incomplete field preparation (both which will be rectified for the 2018 cultivation), and lack of rainfall in the spring. In 2018, taller varieties of hemp will be grown to increase straw yields and flowers. For the 2017 trial, the CRS1 outperformed the other varieties in straw production, and CFX2 produced the best flower yields. These results are indicative of the performance of varieties under largely unfavorable conditions.

GreenGro Technologies, Inc. (OTC: GRNH) closed up slightly on Wednesday trading over 2.3 Million shares by the market close. GreenGro Technologies, a world-class provider of eco-friendly green technologies, this week announced that it has completed the buildout of its flagship igot420-branded marijuana dispensary and grow, located in North Hollywood, California, on-time, within budget and in advance of its expected grand opening, scheduled for mid-October 2017.
