How big is the cannabis grow?
Ack Natural maintains a cultivation space encompassing 2,500 square feet of flowering canopy and 800 square feet of vegetative canopy. All grow rooms have multi tiered rolling racks that the plants are grown on to increase overall canopy in the small footprint we have.
What type of lights do we use-is there a reason you choose those over another type?
Ack Natural uses Full Spectrum LED grow lights that contain a more complete light spectrum than traditional Horticulture lights. This more complete spectrum closely mimics natural sunlight and allows for the full expression of the cannabis plant. Additionally our lights have specific wavelength lights that can be controlled separately to manipulate plant growth structure and shorten flowering time.
Can you describe the typical grow process using Rockwool/Aroya/Integrated pest management
Our Cultivation Process begins with cuttings taken from large “mother” plants, these cuttings are then rooted in small 1.5” rockwool cubes. Once rooted every plant is transplanted into 4” rockwool blocks to grow for a period of 2 weeks. Once plants are established in the 4” blocks we transplant again onto 10”x9” Rockwool slabs for flowering. We flower plants for a period of 8-10 weeks depending on cultivar to achieve full ripeness of cannabinoid containing trichomes. Throughout this process every environmental condition is monitored and stored so we are able to replicate specific parameters that each cultivar needs to achieve its full potential. Our facility also implements Integrated Pest Management which is a process of using Predator Mites to eat any unwanted pests and keep plants healthy throughout the entire growth cycle. Essential oils are used on an as needed basis to treat any populations of unwanted pests that may arise.
What did we bring in clone vs. seed? What’s a Phenohunt?
Our original library of plants was all brought in as clone/cuttings. Our high end cultivars MAC1, Wedding Cake, Motorbreath 15 were sourced as elite clone only cuttings from California and are the true representation of the strain that is known widely in the market. The other cultivars in our library are plants that were “hunted” from seed which is the process of sprouting a number of seeds usually between 10-100 and selecting individual plants from those seeds based on Structure, Color, Smell, flavor, Potency etc. that you will take clones from and keep as mother plants to use for full scale production.

What is Solventless vs. Solvent use
There are two main types of cannabis extraction for concentrates solventless and solvent based extraction. Solventless is the process of separating trichome heads containing valuable cannabinoids from the cannabis flower using mechanical processes that require no chemicals. Examples of solventless extraction are Ice Water Extraction (using ice and water), Dry sifting (using a metal or nylon screen to manually separate), and Flower rosin (pressing whole flower between two hot aluminum plates). Solvent based extraction uses a chemical/gas to dissolve trichome heads into the chemical/gas solution that will be filtered out and recovered at the end of the process producing a high purity extract. Examples of solvents include CO2 gas, Butane gas, and Alcohol. All of these produce a high quality extract with increased yields over solventless but can sometimes contain residual solvents leading some consumers to prefer solventless over solvent based extracts.
What’s the process of ‘Washing’
“Washing” also known as Ice Water Extraction is the process of separating trichome heads from cannabis flower by using Ice and water to literally wash the flowers causing the trichome heads to break off and sink in the water. These Trichome heads will be collected later by using a series of nylon mesh bags with different size openings. These bags will separate all of the available trichomes from the water and can be graded into different quality hash based on the finer mesh bags. This process produces very high quality Hash/Concentrates using no chemical solvents for extraction and can demand a higher price due to the quality produced.
