After 3-4 weeks, Veg plants are moved into one of our Flowering Rooms, where they will mature and produce the THC and Terpenes that have medicinal qualities.
We carefully measure and adjust several critical environmental conditions throughout the plant's life cycle. These variables include, but are not limited to, room temperature, humidity, CO2 content in the air, light intensity, nutrient uptake in plants, etc.
We also measure the plant’s “dry-back periods” to ensure that plants are properly fed and hydrated at optimal time intervals.
Before transitioning from Veg to Flowering rooms, flowering plants are defoliated to ensure they mature with proper airflow underneath the canopy. Defoliation is a repeatable exercise that ensures proper air circulation and mitigates the growth of mold, fungus, and pest pressure in our flowering rooms.
While light intensity changes throughout the course of the flowering process, the lights are on for 12 hours and off for 12 hours. This triggers the flowering process, and plants begin to grow “buds.”
The flowering stage in the marijuana growing process is the phase in which the plant begins to produce flowers or buds, which contain the psychoactive compounds that give marijuana its characteristic effects. This stage typically begins after the vegetative stage, when the plant is exposed to a consistent light cycle of 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness.

This stage typically begins after the vegetative stage, when the plant is exposed to a consistent light cycle of 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness.
When we use the term 'dry back,' we are referring to the period in between irrigation events when the substrate begins to dry out. There are short dry backs, found immediately following the overnight dry back and during the ramp-up and maintenance phases, and long dry backs, also referred to as “overnight dry back.”
THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is the primary psychoactive compound in marijuana that is responsible for the plant's characteristic "high" effects. Terpenes, on the other hand, are compounds that give marijuana its distinct flavors and aromas. They also play a role in the overall effects of the plant by interacting with the THC.
