Flower Cultivation Typically,there are three(3)stages involved in the cultivation phase including 1)Propagation;2) Vegetation;and 3)Flowering. The cultivation stages implemented at the facility will be determine by the necessity for on-site Propagation and Vegetation.Ideally,the facility will be utilized exclusively for flower production non- flowering cannabis plants sourced from HDC's Nursery premises. Otherwise,immature cannabis plants will be sourced from licensed nurseries and placed into soilless, organic mediums which will facilitate the transfer of water and nutrients from the automated nutrient injection system to each individual plant. During the cultivation process,Cultivation Technicians will monitor automated cultivation systems in each room.These systems will be comprised of 1,000-watt cultivation lamps,automated nutrient injection systems with irrigation lines running to each grow room where the plants will be fed,air-conditioning, dehumidification,and ventilation systems,as well as Sonic Wave Harmonizers which stimulate the plants stomata,aiding plant growth. This process 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. During the cultivation process the Operations Manager will monitor the cultivation technicians,advise them as to best practices,and enter information into the State's "Track and Trace" system as required by law during each shift. 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 50-Watt lamps with eighteen (18)hours of light and six(6)hours of darkness to take root prior to the Vegetation stage. 2.Vegetation-At the onset of the vegetation stage,the same organic mediums with plantings intact would be placed by technicians into larger organic mediums where,during a three to four-week period the immature plants will sit under 200-Watt lamps with eighteen(18)hours of light and six(6)hours of darkness as they develop more robust stalks to support themselves prior to the flowering stage. 3.Flowering-the flowering phase will take place during a seven to nine-week period where mature cannabis plants will sit under 1,000-Watt lamps with twelve(12)hours of light and twelve(12)hours of darkness,causing the plant flowers to bloom.Trellis infrastructure will be set up within these grow rooms to support the plants as they flower. Ten days into the flowering phase,the plants will be pruned by the cultivation technicians to optimize plant health,yield,and quality. Cultivation Lighting Layout The cultivation lights inside of each grow room will be positioned directly above the rolling tables; one (1)light will be placed every five feet running the length of each rolling table. Cultivation Lighting Wattage 50-Watt Lights would be used for Propagation;200-Watt Lights would be used for Vegetation;and 1,000-Watt Lights will be used for Flowering. HE DEVELOPMENT CORP 8
