WHAT YOU WILL DO:
- Flowering Stage Management: Oversee and manage all activities related to the flowering stage of cannabis cultivation, from early bloom through harvest.
- Cultivation Planning & Scheduling: Develop and implement detailed cultivation plans and schedules specifically for the flowering stage, ensuring alignment with overall production targets and the unique needs of each strain.
- Plant Health Monitoring: Continuously monitor plant health and development throughout the flowering cycle, proactively identifying and addressing any issues such as nutrient deficiencies, diseases, pests, or abiotic stress. Implement preventative measures as needed.
- Environmental Control: Maintain optimal environmental conditions within the flowering rooms/areas, including precise control of temperature, humidity, lighting, and CO2 levels, to maximize flower development, terpene production, and overall quality.
- Plant Training & Canopy Management: Implement and supervise appropriate plant training techniques (e.g., trellising, topping, defoliation) to optimize canopy structure, light penetration, and airflow, ultimately maximizing flower yield and quality.
- Harvest Oversight & Management: Directly manage all harvest activities, including the supervision of the harvest team. Ensure proper procedures are followed for timely and efficient harvesting while maintaining flower quality and minimizing loss. Coordinate the smooth transition of harvested material to post-harvest processing.
- Post-Harvest Cleanliness: Oversee and execute the thorough clean-up and sanitization of harvest rooms and all related equipment to maintain a sterile environment and prepare for the next cycle.
- Record Keeping & Reporting: Maintain meticulous and accurate records of plant growth, yields, environmental conditions, and all treatments applied throughout the flowering and harvest stages. Generate reports as required.
