- Germination: This stage involves starting the cannabis seeds in a suitable environment, such as a seedling tray or rockwool cubes, and providing them with adequate moisture and warmth to encourage germination.
- Vegetative Stage: Once the seeds have germinated and the seedlings have emerged, they enter the vegetative stage. During this stage, the plants will grow rapidly, developing leaves and stems. The goal during this stage is to provide the plants with optimal light, nutrition, and temperature conditions to promote healthy growth.
- Flowering Stage: As the plants reach maturity, they will enter the flowering stage. During this stage, the plants will begin to produce buds and the goal is to provide them with optimal light and nutrition to promote healthy bud development.
- Harvesting: Once the buds are fully mature, they can be harvested. This involves cutting down the plants, drying the buds, and then curing them to improve the overall quality of the final product.
- Curing: This stage involves storing the dried buds in airtight containers for a period of time, typically several weeks, to allow the buds to mature and develop their full flavor and potency.
- Trimming: Once the buds have cured, they can be trimmed, removing any excess leaves and stems and shaping the buds to a more attractive appearance.
- Packaging: After trimming, the buds can be packaged, ready for sale or use. Packaging can include vacuum sealing, labeling, and storing the buds in airtight containers to maintain their quality.
