He has suffered many injuries and retired in 2000, because of his injuries, he has applied for a MMAR personal grow license and started using Cannabis instead of prescription pain killers to avoid all ill side effects.

Over the past 9 years, Aaron has grown for many different licensed patients, as well as for personal use. He began researching and studying different types of Marijuana genetics, and strains; learning and developing his own cross breeds of plants, and cataloguing his findings. Along with this research, Aaron tested different types of growing techniques such as: hydroponics, soil, purely organic farming, indoor commercial, green house growing, and outdoor plant cultivation; using certain growing techniques to keep the plants in the most organic, natural and chemical-free environment as possible.

Aaron’s years of growing experience and knowledge has now brought him to consulting in the industry. He helps small to large commercial operations set up and design their facilities. He creates unique growing schedules and cultivation plans; instructs them how to grow, how to yield the best product, but with the most natural approach. Aaron is very passionate about this industry, and sees only further advancement and development in the years to come.

If using the full 300,000 sq. ft greenhouse space to grow certain genetic Hemp with seeds specially for CBD oil extraction, it is estimated it can produce about 180,000 lbs of seeds from 3 harvests a year. If using the whole space for Marijuana clones, it is estimated it can produce 121 million clones from 18 harvests a year. This project will also complement the Company’s Marijuana Cultivation and Processing operation by providing propagation and cloning to the operation.

“I am delighted and excited to join Maple Leaf’s management team to provide my expertise for their proposed Hemp seeds and Marijuana clones cultivation project in their 300,000 sq. ft indoor facilities, which is probably one of the largest Hemp seeds and Marijuana clones cultivation project I ever see in Canada.
