KELOWNA, BC, Feb. 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/ - Liht Cannabis Corp. (CSE: LIHT) (OTCQX: LIHTF) or the "Company") provides an "in-progress" update on the Company's first harvest in Las Vegas, Nevada.

On February 6, 2019, the Company began to harvest the first of its cultivation rooms, commencing a perpetual weekly harvest cycle. Our year round perpetual harvest cycle allows for continuous harvesting, creating steady production capacity and constant generation of revenue.

The multiplex process of harvesting, drying, trimming and testing has begun and remains in progress. The first 5 lb lot samples will be sent for mandatory testing this week to meet the State of Nevada's regulations before distribution.

Kurt Keating, Director of Operations, reports, that the team has harvested close to 1000 plants to date, producing over 335 lbs of wet weight.  They are on schedule to complete the last two rooms by March 6^th.

Available for the first time starting in March, our flower will be packaged and sold as a triple certified, organically grown product which will demand top-shelf pricing. The crop strains are: Bubba Kush, Moonshine Ghost Train Haze, Amherst Sour Diesel, Skywalker and Lemon Skunk.

Distinct branding for our product has been designed and developed. Recyclable glass bamboo packaging has been selected to best preserve the product, prevent leeching of contaminants and to allow consumers a clear view of the product. Both branding and packaging are awaiting final state approval.

The Company looks forward to announcing the brand name and availability, shortly.

"This first harvest signals the advancement of our objectives for the cultivation and processing of triple certified cannabis. Our cultivators have focussed on bringing out the fullest expression of the genetics and have produced premium cannabis with exceptional aroma, flavour and effects." Linda Sampson, President & COO

"We have been driving hard to get to this point in our operational schedule. We are excited to turn the corner on our development and

start-up phase and enter into our revenue generating phase. Consumers and Investors should feel confident we are doing all that is possible to get to market as fast as we can without jeopardizing quality." Kurt Keating, Director of Operations
