Cultivation -Veg Manager

• Vegetative Growth Management: • Maintain optimal environmental control strategies (temperature, humidity, light, CO2) for vegetative growth rooms to maximize plant health and vigor. • Establish and maintain nutrient feeding schedules and monitor plant health for deficiencies or excesses. • Oversee irrigation systems and ensure proper watering practices are followed. • Monitor integrated pest management (IPM) strategies within the veg rooms, focusing on preventative measures and early detection. • Maintain a clean and organized work environment, adhering to all standard operating procedures (SOPs) and sanitation protocols. • Regularly inspect plants for signs of pests, diseases, or nutrient imbalances and implement corrective actions. • Track and record environmental data, nutrient applications, and plant health observations. • Collaborate with the Senior Cultivation Manager on strain-specific cultivation protocols and adjustments. • Mother Stock Management: • Establish and maintain a healthy and genetically consistent mother stock program. • Develop and implement SOPs for the care, pruning, and maintenance of mother plants. • Ensure accurate labeling and tracking of all mother plants and their lineage. • Monitor mother plant health and implement preventative measures against pests and diseases. • Schedule and execute the timely taking of cuttings for propagation. • Seed Germination and Propagation: • Oversee the seed germination process, ensuring optimal conditions for successful sprouting. • Develop and implement propagation protocols for cloning, including media selection, hormone application, and environmental control in propagation chambers. • Monitor clone development and ensure high rates of successful rooting. • Manage the transplanting of seedlings and clones to larger containers as needed. • Maintain accurate records of seed lots and clone production. • Team Leadership and Management: • Conduct interviews for Supervisor, Lead, Technician, Mother Stock Technician, and Propagation Technician. • Develop work schedules and assign tasks to team members to ensure efficient workflow across all three areas. • Provide ongoing training and mentorship to team members on best cultivation practices and SOPs specific to their roles. • Conduct performance evaluations and provide constructive feedback to team members. • Foster a positive and collaborative work environment across all early-stage cultivation teams. • Ensure team members adhere to all safety regulations and protocols. • Planning and Scheduling: • Work closely with the Senior Cultivation Manager to forecast plant needs for the flowering stages and develop integrated production schedules for the veg, mother stock, and propagation areas. • Plan and coordinate the movement of plants between different stages of vegetative growth and into the flowering rooms. • Ensure timely propagation to meet production targets. • Anticipate potential bottlenecks and proactively implement solutions across all managed areas. • Reporting and Documentation: • Maintain accurate and detailed records of all activities within the veg, mother stock, and propagation areas, including environmental data, nutrient applications, IPM activities, plant movement, and team activities. • Generate regular reports for the Senior Cultivation Manager on key performance indicators such as propagation success rates, mother plant health, vegetative growth metrics, and production timelines for all managed areas. • Contribute to the development and refinement of SOPs for all early-stage cultivation processes. • Compliance and Safety: • Ensure all cultivation activities comply with state and local regulations. • Adhere to all company policies and procedures. • Promote and maintain a safe working environment. • Participate in safety training and meetings.
