OUR VEG PROCESS
We at Sunlight Ridge believe the Cloning process is the absolute beginning of the overall health and quality of our plants. We use reverse osmosis water with mild water conditioners to eliminate the possibility of un-wanted anaerobic bacteria or pathogens in our root zone during the rooting process. Our growers follow a strict Clone production process that ensures maximum root and foliage development so the young plant is off to a healthy and vigorous start. This ensures the plants ability to reach its fullest growth potential once it goes into coco coir for the next stage of the plant’s Veg process.
Once our clones have developed a healthy root zone, they are potted using a rich and locally manufactured Coco Coir and Perlite mix with a 50/50 ratio for maximum root aeration. We use a pure Granular Mycorrhizal Inoculum to naturally increase the water and nutrient uptake to enhance bright white roots and lush green foliage. Throughout the Veg process we use salt based fertilizers to ensure a well balanced and stable PH in the root zone as well as a balanced nutrient base to build a healthy stable plant. In addition to those fertilizers we add an Ammoniacal/Nitrate Nitrogen to help boost the growth of healthy foliage. Silica is used throughout the Veg feeding process to enhance stem and plant cell development which acts as a natural pest deterrent as well as reducing abiotic stress in the plant. Throughout the entirety of the Veg growth process, our growers are consistently pruning and shaping our plants to prepare the plants to produce large, healthy and beautiful fruit for our consumers.
