Vegetative Stage for our Medical Marijuana

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.
