[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n SAN CLEMENTE, Calif., Jan. 31, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via OTC PR WIRE--SUNSET ISLAND GROUP, INC.

Also, over the past couple of months, as the retrofit has evolved, we've increased our plants per bay from 480, to 1,150 in the latest two bays and fully expect that once the retrofit is complete, 1,500-1,600 plants per bay (on each level) per harvest will become the norm.\" Ms. Baugher continued with, \"Once the initial retrofit is complete, with the licensing and permitting activity we have in the works now, the plan is to build out multiple grow facilities using the same layout/buildout as our original facility. There are several options on the table for expansion as it pertains to location(s) and available square footage. Each option has its own unique set of ...
