 Wildflower To Set up Tissue Culture Laboratory

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, October 2, 2014: Wildflower Marijuana Inc. (CSE: SUN) (the "Company") is pleased to annou
--->nce that it is has expanded its business plan to include a tissue culture laboratory.  

The Company's plan was to set up a plant tissue culture laboratory to provide marijuana growing material rather than r
--->eproducing plants through traditional cuttings from a Mother Plant.  Historically, cloning has been the standard for r
--->eproducing marijuana plants.  There are many issues that arise with cloning including genetic drift, passing pests, co
--->ntaminants, diseases or defects and less rigorous plants after multiple cuttings.     

In response to these problems Wildflower sought a solution and found one of the top tissue culture specialists to join
---> its advisory board and set up what we believe will be the very first marijuana tissue culture lab in North America.  
--->The benefits of tissue culturing include:

Thousands of plants can be cultured at one time with less money and space.
Avoids expensive mother room electrical and labour costs.
Unlike cloning, tissue culture protects strains from genetic drift.
Avoids the risk of contaminated Mother Plants passing pests and diseases to their clones.
Since tissue culturing requires little space, you can easily maintain hundreds of strains.
Our plants will hold genetic structure better.
Tissue cultured plants have more vigor than cuttings.
Tissue culturing rids genetics of pests and diseases so our plant starts are clean.
The better genetics will provide for a better yield.
By protecting our genetic stock, we protect our brand.

Plant tissue culture is a process that involves exposing plant tissue to a specific regimen of nutrients, hormones, an
--->d light under sterile, in vitro conditions to produce many new plants, each a clone of the original Mother Plant, over
---> a very short period of time. Wildflower's tissue culture plants will be characterized by disease free growth, a healt
--->hier root system, a more robust medicine, and a higher survival rate.

The problems associated with cuttings from Mother Plants is not confined to marijuana plants, it applies to all plants
--->.  Currently, there are only a handful of tissue culture labs on the continent with many of them operating at full cap
--->acity with others expanding operations.  What is clear is that supply is in no way meeting the demand in the agricultu
--->ral multi-billion dollar industry.  With minimal additional cost Wildflower can use its tissue culture lab to meet the
---> increasing demand for various plant varieties.

William MacLean, President and CEO of Wildflower stated that "The ability to pick the best plant and exponentially rep
--->roduce that exact plant is very exciting.  Even more exciting are the margins that can be had by producing millions of
---> the same plant.   Further, this will allow Wildflower to start deriving revenue while we await Health Canada to issue
---> our license".

About Wildflower Marijuana Inc.
Wildflower is a marijuana company advancing two applications to grow and distribute medical marijuana under an MMPR li
--->cense with Health Canada.  Wildflower's proprietary growing system is designed to maximize crop yields and consistentl
--->y produce pure clean pharmaceutical grade BC marijuana for patients and cannabinoid research.
