In a recent report by The Australian, Little Green Pharma opened the doors to its medical cannabis cultivation facility to show what goes into growing medical-grade cannabis. Paul Long, Chief Executive at Little Green Pharma, leads this special tour. The first thing Paul shows is "one of our most important rooms," as he describes it: the mother room. "We have two mother rooms," he adds.
The plants in those rooms are "really critical for us," Paul explains. All the genetics from Little Green Pharma are collected in these rooms, so it makes absolute sense why Paul stresses the importance of these chambers.
"We have four or five genetics in here that we really store," Paul says in the video. The room is set up so that the mother plants never flower and remain in the vegetative phase. "Which means the lights are on for more than 12 hours a day," Paul explains.
The tour then moves to the flowering room. "The canopy is really, really even," Paul remarks. He says that gives them about 30 cm of flowering, allowing all the flowers to get "an insane amount of light," as Paul puts it. This ensures consistent quality, size, terpene content, and THC percentage in the flower.
Finally, they give us a sneak peek into the drying processes. We see that the Australian grower hang-dries their plants. Once the cannabis is dried to a certain level, a machine separates the flowers from the stem. Ultimately, the flowers are processed into products.
