Our “ goal is to produce Monsta size hemp plants with desirable characteristics to benefit the myriad of uses.” What products does Ozi Magic currently sell? Over the past 30 years we have grown our product range which includes our famous Monsta Bud and Ozi Tonic brands, as well as Ozi Magic Grow Juice, Monsta Grow, Monsta Bloom, Monsta Outdoors, Budswell, Sweet Az, Xellerator, and Terminator. Our products are sold around Australia and New Zealand and throughout the world. What has changed with the company since the early days? In recent years our company has recognised the re-emergence of the hemp industry and we obtained our licence to grow, allowing us to research the physiology of the hemp plant. The unique characteristics of the plant has allowed us to explore its ability to consume numerous compounds apart from the known minerals required for plant growth. Controlled testing and analysis of leaf tissue has allowed us to fine tune our fertiliser range with a focus on organic ingredients. Our goal is to produce Monsta size hemp plants with desirable characteristics to benefit the myriad of uses from fibre, food, clothing, medicine, building products, and the list goes on. What else would you like to say about Ozi Magic? Our company is only a small part of a much larger industry and in 2016 we held the first HHI Expo (Hemp Health & Innovation Expo), with the aim of educating the general public in all the benefits the hemp plant has to offer and serving as an additional tool in driving this industry forward well into the future. It’s been a great ride to be a part of an industry full of interesting, innovative, and unique people; all of them contributing to the industry we have today. 42 Maximum Yield
