Behind the Scenes at 3DNE Growers: Winter at the Farm
At 3DNE Growers, the work never stops—even when the temperatures drop. While winter may seem like a slow season on the farm, it’s actually one of our busiest times of the year. This is when we focus on the foundation of our next growing season, ensuring our plants, soil, and infrastructure are primed for success. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at what goes on during the winter months at 3DNE Growers.
Soil Regeneration and Preparation
Healthy soil is the key to healthy plants, and winter is the perfect time to give our soil the care it needs. We analyze soil samples, amend nutrients, and plant cover crops to replenish essential minerals. By allowing the land to rest and rejuvenate, we ensure a nutrient-rich environment for our next round of cultivation.
Post-Harvest Processing: Bucking and Trimming
After a successful growing season, our winter months are dedicated to processing our harvest. This includes bucking, where we carefully remove the flowers from the stalks, and trimming, which ensures our cannabis maintains its high-quality appearance and potency. Our team hand-trims each bud with precision to preserve the integrity and terpene profile of the flower, delivering a premium product to our customers.
Equipment Maintenance & Upgrades
With the growing season behind us, winter is the time to clean, repair, and upgrade our equipment. From refining irrigation systems to maintaining processing tools and drying rooms, we ensure everything is in top shape before spring arrives. This proactive approach helps us avoid downtime and maximize efficiency year-round.
Genetics & Strain Development
Winter is an ideal time to experiment with genetics and refine our strain selection. Our cultivation team conducts research and phenotype testing to identify the best strains for potency, flavor, and resilience. By working with top-tier genetics, we continue to push the boundaries of quality and innovation at 3DNE Growers.
Planning for the Year Ahead
Perhaps the most crucial aspect of winter is planning for the future. We review past harvests, assess what worked and what can be improved, and map out strategies for the upcoming growing season. This includes selecting strains, refining cultivation techniques, and ensuring compliance with evolving industry regulations.
While the fields may be quiet, our farm is far from idle. Winter is a season of preparation, growth, and innovation at 3DNE Growers. By dedicating this time to soil health, post-harvest processing, equipment upgrades, and genetic development, we set the stage for another successful year of premium cannabis production.
