One Plant Florida Conducts First Harvest and Sets Perpetual Harvest Cycle at Nexus Greenhouse Facility in Indiantown

In June, One Plant Florida conducted the first harvest of its premium cannabis flower at its brand-new 54,000 square-foot Nexus greenhouse facility in Indiantown, Florida. The Nexus greenhouse is now fully operational, and One Plant Florida’s experienced grow team has implemented and will carefully supervise a perpetual harvest cycle at the new facility under which one of the eight flower rooms will be harvested every ten (10) days.

One Plant Florida’s Nexus hybrid greenhouse facility consists of ten (10) approximately 5,000 square-foot cultivation rooms, each of which features individual and customizable climate control systems that allow for the use of natural sun light while still maintaining preset temperature and humidity levels of approximately 75 degrees Fahrenheit and relative humidity of under 55%. This allows the facility to create cultivation conditions that are normally only found in Florida within indoor cultivation facilities that rely solely on artificial lighting. The facility also includes automated shade control and light deprivation systems, a CO2 infusion system, a Ridder hortimax automated irrigation and fertigation system, and a network of ten (10) sensors in each room that track and feed real time data into One Plant Florida’s data analytics system. The Nexus greenhouse houses some of One Plant Florida’s best-known and rare strains of premium cannabis flower, including Mac1, Runtz, SherbD, ChemD, Chem91, I75, Fish Whistle, Dirty Lemons, and Ebony and Ivory, among others.
