A portion of the QGF facility will also be dedicated to Nursery cultivation. This shall serve a primary purpose of providing nursery stock to feed on-site cultivation operations,with a secondary purpose of producing Nursery stock to be sold wholesale to State-licensed Cultivators and Retailers. Ancillary to the primary Cultivation activity would be the processing,packaging,and secure storage of finished'cannabis flower'as well as constant maintenance of on-site security,administrative functions including record keeping,correspondence,and interface with facility personnel. Finished Cannabis Flower'Batches'will be transported off-site via state licensed distributors who may process and package the cannabis flower for resale,following storage and sampling for lab testing to ensure product quality and compliance with state regulation. All product transactions,including the physical transfer of cannabis goods,shall take place wholly within the confines of the secured facility perimeter. Nursery Cultivation During the Nursery Cultivation process,cultivation technicians will monitor automated cultivation systems within Building 1. These systems will be comprised of the 19-Watt cultivation lamps,water tanks in which nutrients will be mixed prior to and fed to the cannabis plants via hoses accessible in each grow module, air-conditioning,dehumidification,ventilation and odor control systems. The Nursery Operations Manager will monitor the cultivation technicians,advise them as to best practices,and maintain the State's Track and Trace system as necessary during each shift. There are three(3)stages involved in the cultivation phase including 1)Propagation 2)Vegetation: and 3)Flowering. Initially,Cannabis clones will be sourced from licensed Nurseries and delivered to Quality Genetics Farms Greenhouse Facility to be grown to maturity.Ultimately,QGF will produce its own Nursery stock. Natural light will be utilized as much as possible,with artificial light to be utilized during short-light days and night-time hours. Retractable roof curtains shall be deploved when artificial light is utilized during night-time hours to prevent light pollution in the area. During the cultivation process,cultivation technicians will maintain and utilize integrated cultivation systems in Greenhouse. These systems will be comprised of 19-watt,240-watt, and 600-watt,and cultivation lamps depending on the stage and method of cultivation,an irrigation well connected via plumbing to water tanks from which hose spigots can be run through each Greenhouse,air-conditioning,dehumidification,and ventilation systems,as well as odor mitigation equipment. Each stage will also involve the repeated application of unique identifiers and recording of data into the State's"Track and Trace System"as the plants mature through the various phases. 1.Propagation-At the onset of the propagation stage,cultivation technicians would implant immature clones into a small organic medium comprised or rock-wool where,during a two week period the plantings will sit under 19-Watt lamps with eighteen(18)hours of light and six(6)hours of darkness to take root prior to the Vegetation stage. Clones will be segregated in lots comprised of no more than 100 immature cannabis plants. Each lot will be assigned a unique identifier for Track and Trace purposes. Propagation will take place within the Building 1 Nursery("Veg")premises which will be a dedicated Quality Genetics Farms 3
