Phoenix, AZ - (NewMediaWire) - February 28, 2019 - For The Earth Corporation (the “Company” or “FTEG”) (OTCMKTS: FTEG) is proud to announce the Company’s commitment to producing and selling only CBD products derived strictly from in-house production processes. The Company has already established a diversified retail distribution footprint with both physical and e-commerce points of sale, and has begun the process of establishing its own state-of-the-art CBD extraction and production facility in Eugene, OR.“A lot of producers in the CBD industry seem to be white-labeling their products these days,” noted FTEG CEO Nelson Grist. “We plan to take a different approach. We are going to take our own raw hemp and turn it into our own pharmaceutical grade full-spectrum CBD products and sell them from our own storefront directly to the end-market consumer.” Mr. Grist has been in Eugene for the past four days interviewing leading operational candidates and consultants and examining prospective construction sites for the facility. The Company plans to control its own supply chain from cultivation through to branded product sales to customers at its kiosks, vending machines, stores, and e-commerce portals.Management believes that full vertical integration of the production process may lower production costs given the variability of CBD supplies and the potential for delays or occasional scarcity. In addition, the Company believes that consumers appreciate brands that set themselves apart from the herd by having higher quality management standards.“When we make a sale, I want to be confident that I know exactly what’s in that bottle or package, and that it’s the highest quality CBD product on the market,” continued Mr. Grist. “I want to know the ground it came out of, every ingredient in it, and who switched the equipment on where it was made.”About For The Earth CorporationFor The Earth Corporation is an emerging integrated CBD producer and retailer in the United States. The Company is in the process of establishing a vertical framework that will extend from cultivation to extraction and production to a strategic retail footprint that includes multiple locations in Las Vegas and New York featuring mall kiosks, vending machines, e-commerce, and full store locations serving both the human and pet CBD markets. Two mall leases have been signed recently in Las Vegas, with another vending machine location secured in New York City. The Company plans to expand its New York vending machine penetration by the end of 2019. In addition, the Company has begun early-stage work to establish a state-of-the-art CBD extraction and production facility in Eugene, OR.Forward-Looking StatementsExcept for the historical information contained herein, the matters discussed in this press release are forward-looking statements.

Seattle, WA - (NewMediaWire) - February 28, 2019 - CFN Media Group ("CFN Media"), the leading agency and financial media network dedicated to the North American cannabis industry, announces publication of an article discussing FluroTech Ltd.(TSXV: TEST) (OTCQB: FLURF). The company debuted its CompleTest™ to the public for the first time at the 2019 LIFT Expo. Master growers and quality assurance personnel were impressed by live demonstrations showing the technology's simplicity, speed, accuracy, and consistency of results, which could enable them to bring a lot of analytical tasks in-house that were previously outsourced to third-party laboratories.Vancouver's LIFT Expo is Canada's largest cannabis trade show where established incumbents and new startups unveil their hottest new products. From Blade Filters' green carbon air filters to Nitrotin's canned cannabis, there is no shortage of innovative products targeting the nascent cannabis industry. Some of these companies will emerge to become new leaders in important subsets of the cannabis industry.Trevor MacMillan Director of Scientific Research Demonstrates FluroTech's CompleTest™ at the Lift Expo 2019Cannot view this video? Visit:Please Click Here to See the CompleTest™ Demonstration VideoBest of Show for New TechnologyHigh! Canada Magazine awarded CompleTest™ with their Best of Show for New Technology award following the 2019 LIFT Expo. The award underscores the unique value proposition that the company's technology offers to licensed producers and other cultivators that want to access precise data to fine-tune their growing conditions to optimize quality and yield. The results can also confirm third-party test results to avoid any misunderstandings."The award was unexpected," said FluroTech VP of Business Development Gary Jones in a recent press release announcing the award. "The Vancouver LIFT Expo was the first time that FluroTech unveiled the CompleTest™ to the public. Master growers recognized that they could affordably and accurately use the in-house testing device to select mother plants for breeding or to optimize their potency yield for a given strain."Co-founder and CEO Danny Dalla Longa, an experienced businessman, CTO Dr. Prenner, a specialist in fluorescence spectroscopy, and COO Rex Kary, an experienced marketing and finance executive, plan to enter the market with unique testing capabilities before expanding into biomarking to revolutionize the cannabis supply chain. These long-term aspirations could make it one of the industry's most promising new technologies.COO Rex Kary commented saying "CompleTest™ is a tool all growers can use to significantly increase yield and profitability by having accurate in-house test results in 30 minutes".Providing a Better AlternativeThe CompleTest™ provides a fast, affordable, cost-effective and accurate test for tetrahydrocannabinol (THCa), cannabidiol (CBDa) and heavy metals with pesticides and aflatoxin tests expected Q2. The testing process involves mixing a small sample of ground buds with a reagent solution and placing it into the CompleTest™ for about 60 seconds. When the test is complete, the results are sent immediately to a tablet for review.By comparison, most existing testing solutions involve $500,000 ICP-MS equipment for heavy metal tests or $100,000 high performance liquid chromatography equipment to test cannabinoids that require experienced personnel to operate. These tests routinely take from a couple hours to several weeks to turnaround, which can be a long time when cultivators depend on the results to guide their grow operations or determine if product is safe.Many third-party laboratories also produce different results since use machines with varying levels of calibration and personnel with varying levels of experience. FluroTech's CompleTest™ produces extremely consistent results that are within one percent of acceptable variance. Cultivators can rely on the device to produce consistent and reliable results without the possibility of human interpretation errors or miscalibration causing any ...
