OUR PROCESS Seeds & Cloning All plants are propagated through cloning of the mothers. Clone maintenance is performed daily.
Vegetation Once the clone roots, it is transferred to the Vegetative Room whose conditions mimic Springtime. Topping is performed in order to train the plant to create a full canopy with several flowering sites or nodes.
Flowering After 8-10 weeks in veg, the plants graduate to a Flower Room whose conditions mimic the Fall. Plants are introduced to a photo period to encourage them to begin flowering. Plants remain here between 8-9 weeks.
Harvest Buds hang on cord or drying racks for 7-10 days. Buds cure for several weeks to ensure that the cannabis is consistently cultivated at the highest standard.

EXTRACTION
Our Supercritical extractor is designed for compressed gas extraction using carbon dioxide. Compressed gas extraction occurs as pressurized gas forces the solvent into the plant’s cell walls and rapidly separates the desired constituent. Carbon dioxide is an all-natural solvent that leaves no toxic residues and its extraction properties can be manipulated by slight changes in pressure and temperature.

• Pill • Oil • Topical forms, including gel, creams or ointments
• Vaporization/Nebulization • Tincture • Liquid
TESTING All of our manufactured cannabis products will be tested for residual solvents, pesticides, molds and other impurities.
DISTRIBUTION Manufactured products are then packaged and distributed to Pa licensed dispensaries.

Understanding Cannabis Three types. 1.
annabis Sativa - Gives an up and active C feeling.
2.
Cannabis Indica - Gives a more relaxed feeling.
3.
Hybrid - A combination of both Sativa and Indica.
* Varieties are developed to intensify specific characteristics of the plant.
Two main compounds found in marijuana. Tetrahydrocannabinol or THC (psychoactive ingredient)
How it works... Cannabis contains 100’s of chemical compounds. Researchers have identified over 60 unique molecules in cannabis known as cannabinoids, which include THC,CBD and CBG. Many other non-cannabinoid compounds are produced by the plant that also have regulatory effects. For example, terpenes, the molecules responsible for marijuana’s smell, have been shown to block some cannabinoid receptor sites in the brain while promoting cannabinoid binding in others. As a result, terpenes are believed to affect many aspects of how the brain takes in THC or CBD, while offering various therapeutic benefits of their own. While THC has gotten most of the attention, studies suggest many of the compounds in cannabis work together to produce a synergy of effects. This is known as the ‘entourage effect.’
1.
Vicodin (pain killer)
2.
Xanax (anti-anxiety medication)
3.
Adderall (stimulant)
4.
Ambien (sleep aid)
Cannabis comes in thousands of different varieties, or strains. Different cannabis strains have vastly different chemical profiles that cause different experiences in the same person. This explains why sometimes cannabis can make a person feel calm, while other times it can make that same person feel anxious or paranoid. The chemical components of cannabis include, but are not limited to, terpenes, ketones, esters, lactones, alcohols, fatty acids, and steroids. The effects of all these chemicals working together and regulating each other will be much different than the effects of any one chemical working alone. Cannabis is made up of thousands of different chemicals that work together that creates a particular effect. Change the combination and you have a different effect, some of them are small while others are significant. This is the power of the plant and it’s real potential!
