Sugarbud Craft Growers Corp. Announces the Launch of Two New High-Potency, High-Terpene Strains

CALGARY, Alberta, Oct. 28, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sugarbud Craft Growers Corp. (TSXV: SUGR, SUGR.DB, SUGR.WR, SUGR.WS, SUGR.WT,) (OTCQB: SBUDF) ("Sugarbud" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the further expansion of their Craft Cannabis Collection with the launch of - GMO Cookies – and another Sugarbud exclusive - Bahama Blizzard #11. Both strains are distinct, high-potency, high-terpene phenotypes with a total THC range between 21-31% and terpene profiles between 2-4%. GMO Cookies, in particular, is a key milestone for Sugarbud – as Sugarbud successfully crosses the 30% potency barrier for the first time on a commercial batch.

Sugarbud GMO Cookies was created by crossing Girl Scout Cookies and classic Chemdawg cultivars. This indica-dominant hybrid strain will provide consumers with exceptionally high potency and beautiful textured aromas. The buds are thin, long, open-structured and delicate, with a mix of olive green and purple, accentuated by orange hairs and a sugary coat of shimmering trichomes. Sugarbud’s GMO Cookies presents the classic aromas of musty cellars, savory garlic, sweet spice, and earthy coffee. Consumers can expect a total THC range of between 22-31% with a total terpene profile of between 2-4%.

Sugarbud Bahama Blizzard #11 is yet another delightfully complex and exclusive cultivar; phenotyped from the Sugarbud genetic library. Created through the cross of Caribbean Cooler x Jet Fuel Gelato, Bahama Blizzard #11 has triangle-shaped, olive green buds with purple undertones, dark amber airs and rich crystal-like trichomes. Consumers can expect well-defined aromas of sweet confectionary, pine, lemon citrus, floral and fuel. Total THC will range between 21-26% with a terpene profile of between 2-4%.

"We are producing exceptional top-quality products for a very intelligent consumer," Sugarbud President and CEO, John Kondrosky notes. "We recognize that our consumers have different interests, diverse hobbies, busy jobs and are pursuing all kinds of things to make their lives even fuller. We understand that we must work hard to find and earn a place in their busy day. Our latest strains represent yet another significant step forward in the evolution of our consumer focused product development,” continued Mr. Kondrosky.

"In addition to maintaining the high quality and total value experience consumers have come to expect from Sugarbud products, with GMO Cookies we have successfully crossed the 30% potency barrier for the first time on a commercial batch - once gain setting a new tone for product excellence. Our House-Style and approach to premium craft cannabis has, from the very start, emphasized a total consumer experience - focusing on dense sugary buds, exceptional terpene forward aromas and smooth flavors. It is this commitment to total product excellence that sets us apart from many of our competitors. We pay close attention to the details and we pride ourselves on delivering an exceptional first impression and top-quality product experience to our consumers each and every time," concluded Mr. Kondrosky.

The Company expects their first commercial batches of GMO Cookies and Bahama Blizzard #11 will available in 3.5g Flower and 3 x 0.5g Pre-Roll formats nationwide to both registered medical patients through Cannmart.com and through select provincially authorized retailers by mid-November.
