The Clones are moved to the Veg room and are “up-potted” to a larger grow medium. Vegetative plants will live in the Veg room for 3-4 weeks, with light intensity gradually increasing as they prepare for a transition to a Flowering room.
The Veg room supplies each flowering room with fresh plants after each harvest, with a stock of fresh Veg plants ready for the transition to a flowering room at the conclusion of each Flowering Room's harvest.
Lights are kept on for 18 hours a day, giving the plants 6 hours of “sleep” every evening. This allows the plant to grow taller and stronger before they enter its flowering phase.
Once the plants are 8 inches tall, they are tagged with state-mandated RFID-enabled METRC compliance tags.
These yellow tags allow us to consistently and accurately measure the flow of biomass throughout our facility at all times, a critically important compliance and productivity tool.
The vegetative stage in the marijuana growing process is the phase in which the plant is actively growing and producing leaves, stems, and roots. During this stage, the plant is not yet producing flowers or buds.
The vegetative stage in the marijuana growing process is the phase in which the plant is actively growing and producing leaves, stems, and roots. During this stage, the plant is not yet producing flowers or buds.
The vegetative stage typically lasts around 3-4 weeks, depending on the strain of marijuana and cultivation style.
Marijuana plants need to sleep or have a dark period in order to properly regulate their growth and development. During the dark period, the plant's growth hormones are active, allowing for healthy stem and root growth.
