Structure
Sealed Glass Venlo
Dutch-engineered sealed glass greenhouse technology — the pharmaceutical standard for controlled environment cultivation. Eliminates contamination vectors while maximising natural light transmission.
Configuration
4 + 1 Independent Bays
Four flowering bays plus one vegetation bay, each designed for independent climate control. Engineered to enable staggered harvesting and chemovar-specific environmental optimisation.
Harvest Cycles
5–6 Per Year
Staggered harvesting across independent bays designed to ensure continuous production — 5 cycles in Year 1, scaling to 6 cycles from Year 2 onward.
Compliance
EU-GMP Designed from Blueprint
Engineered from blueprint to meet EU-GMP and GACP standards — not retrofitted. Every surface, workflow, and system architected for pharmaceutical-grade output.
Climate Control & Monitoring
Every Variable. Every Bay. By Design.
Every environmental variable — temperature, humidity, CO₂, light intensity, airflow — is designed for independent control and continuous monitoring across each cultivation bay. Sealed Venlo greenhouse technology engineered to create a pharmaceutical-grade controlled environment that eliminates contamination risk while optimising plant performance.

Independent Climate Zones
Five Bays. Five Environments. One System.
Each of the four flowering bays and one vegetation bay is designed as a fully independent controlled environment. This architecture is engineered to enable staggered harvesting, chemovar-specific environmental protocols, and pharmaceutical-grade contamination isolation.
Vegetation Bay
Designed for mother plants and vegetative clones under 18/6 photoperiod. The foundation of all production.
Flowering Bay 1
Week 1–3 of flowering. Transition photoperiod with increasing nutrient demand.
Flowering Bay 2
Week 4–6 peak flowering. Trichome and terpene development accelerating.
Flowering Bay 3
Week 7–9 maturation. Reduced humidity for mould prevention. Flush phase begins.
Flowering Bay 4
Trichome maturity optimal. Final cannabinoid testing before precision harvest.
Staggered Harvesting
Different bays designed for different growth stages simultaneously — enabling continuous production with no seasonal gaps.
Chemovar-Specific Optimisation
Each bay is designed to run independent environmental protocols tailored to the specific chemovar being cultivated.
Contamination Isolation
Sealed bay separation engineered so one bay's issue cannot affect others — pharmaceutical-grade containment.
Year-Round Production
Staggered cycles designed to deliver 5–6 harvests per year, ensuring consistent, uninterrupted supply for distribution partners.

Cultivation Process
Seed-to-Shipment: Eight Pharmaceutical-Grade Steps
From genetics selection to export packaging, every step in our cultivation process is designed to meet EU-GMP pharmaceutical standards. Each stage is monitored, documented, and traceable — ensuring consistent, compliant product in every batch.
Step 01 of 08
Genetics Selection
Sourcing and selecting high-quality cultivars with documented lineage and consistent cannabinoid and terpene profiles. Every chemovar in our portfolio is chosen for pharmaceutical-grade reproducibility.
- Documented genetic lineage for every cultivar
- Target cannabinoid and terpene profile verification
- Phenotype stability testing across multiple cycles
- Compliance with SAHPRA scheduling requirements
Step 02 of 08
Propagation
Clonal propagation from mother plants ensuring genetic consistency across every production batch. Each clone is an identical copy, guaranteeing batch-to-batch uniformity in cannabinoid composition.
- Clonal propagation from verified mother plants
- Sterile cutting and rooting protocols
- Root development monitoring and grading
- Genetic consistency verification per batch
Step 03 of 08
Vegetation
Controlled vegetative growth in a dedicated bay with optimised photoperiod, nutrition, and environmental conditions. Plants develop the structural foundation for maximum flowering potential.
- Dedicated vegetation bay with 18/6 photoperiod
- Automated fertigation with growth-phase nutrients
- Canopy management and training protocols
- Environmental monitoring: temp, humidity, VPD, CO₂
Step 04 of 08
Flowering
Transfer to independent flowering bays with chemovar-specific light, temperature, and humidity protocols. Each bay is designed as an isolated environment optimised for the specific cultivar.
- Independent flowering bays with 12/12 photoperiod
- Chemovar-specific environmental profiles
- Trichome development monitoring
- Contamination isolation between bays
Step 05 of 08
Harvest
Precisely timed harvest based on trichome maturity assessment and cannabinoid analysis. Every plant is evaluated individually to ensure peak potency and terpene expression at the moment of harvest.
- Trichome maturity assessment via microscopy
- Pre-harvest cannabinoid sampling and HPLC analysis
- Hand-trimmed under controlled conditions
- Immediate transfer to drying environment
Step 06 of 08
Drying & Curing
