Cannabis is an annual plant. Its life cycle begins with germination that occurs with the onset of spring - around March, and continues to grow that will only stop with the shortening of daytime hours in mid-summer. In fact, the growth does not really stop - it just slows down, and the energies of the plant begin to be invested in flowering processes as soon as the day is shortened and the plant realizes that it will finish its course soon. After a flowering of 8-12 weeks on average, the plant begins to wither to prepare the ground for the winter season, the period when the seeds produced on the flowers in nature are supposed to dig into the ground and wait for warming.

If so, winter is one of the biggest obstacles nature provides us with every year - but we have found quite a few ways to deal with it. The winter season is characterized by a number of conditions that prevent life from starting in the soil as in other seasons: lack of heat that drives particles efficiently, lack of food most important for plants - light, and also lack of warm air that can hold high amounts of moisture inside. Due to these limitations, the movement of substances within the plant is fatally impaired in winter. But with the right strategic planning, no small financial investment and a lot of extra attention - it is possible to overcome the challenge that winter presents us and produce a product no less good than the one that grows in the natural cycle of the plant.

Our genetics know how to work amazingly in the Mediterranean sun which is known for its intensity. In winter, however, the heat lowers its position in the sky, extending the angle of impact of its rays to the ground. This means: weaker radiation and less intense light. In addition, winter is characterized by shorter days. If during the year we take care to darken the greenhouses to precede the entry of the plants into bloom, in winter we take care to illuminate them to compensate for the intensity and lost hours of sunshine.

To solve the lighting problems that winter brings while maintaining a clean environment we install two types of lighting: light lighting from conventional lamps, and advanced gas integrated LED lighting. The light lighting consists of routine lamps like the ones you have in the house in the layout of a light bulb house per square meter or so. Their purpose is to "pull" the hours of the day into the evening and thus cause the plant to continue its growth even after the sun sets. If the plant has received a sufficient amount of intense light during the day, it does not need strong lighting in the last hours of light and standard lamps are an economical and efficient solution.

But what about those particularly cloudy days that do not "feed" the plant with enough intense sunlight? Proper care of a winter greenhouse in this situation requires a significant investment of resources and time to take care of the plant for complementary and powerful lighting. This has not stopped us from choosing to install in our greenhouses the best for the plants: advanced and intense gas integrated LED lighting that provides the plant with light waves identical in intensity and spectrum to those it receives from the summer sun in the middle of the most cloudy day of the year.

One of the problems we, humans, feel in winter is of course the low temperatures. But did you know that the cold also bothers plants? Cold slows down the movement of water particles and fertilizer components that the plant needs. What's more, it significantly changes the balance of pests in nature and exposes the plant to favorable conditions for the spread of some of them. To solve these problems we have provided a number of heating solutions that take care of keeping our greenhouses at the same temperature they need to withstand any other day of the year. These solutions include heating pipes spread throughout the greenhouses, intensive lighting and even a unique CO2 burner for the winter that ensures warm, moist air enriched with carbon dioxide that optimizes growth.

When we came to grow medical cannabis on Israeli soil, we realized that we had to find an organic and effective way to provide a therapeutic sequence with first-class products in the genetic aspect, in Hamsin and in the rain. Yes - most of the good work that humans can do - nature knows how to do better. But cannabis is an annual plant that blooms in winter, and the drug whose inflorescence produces requires a flawless therapeutic sequence and one needs to understand how to produce a good product throughout the year. Uncalculated winter cycles almost always end in second-class goods. With the use of prestigious and clean agricultural technologies and professional attention at the highest level - we know how to ensure winter cycles of the same quality as those sold from the summer and spring cycles.
